Side view showing markings. Between these two bands, rudiments of a third represented by an upper and lower small spot of yellow. A small spot at bases of trochanters. Legs black. Abdomen subcylindrical, triquetral, tumid at base, slightly constricted at the third segment, blackish brown marked with bright citron yellow as follows :— a lateral spot on segment 1, an apical and a medial ring on segment 2, the latter sloping down and forwards to meet the lateral spot on segment 1 (occasionally the lateral marking is separated fromthe dorsal medial ring), the latter entire or interrupted at its middle on the dorsal carina, the apical ring entire. Segment 3 with an irregular lateral basal mark, two middorsal spots roughly triangular in shape and two apical lunules, both pairs of spots meeting over the dorsum with those on the opposite side, segments 4 to 8 with similar dorsal spots and apical lunules, the former slightly separated on segment 4 and gradually more so from 5 to 8, the latter gradually narrowing from 4 to 8 and separated on the dorsum from 6 to 8. Segment 9 with only traces of apical lunules and a pair 6 2 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST, SOCIETY, Vol. XX1X, of angulated spots at the base, segment 10 with basal half and extreme apex yellow. Superior anal appendages as long as segment 10, tapered, sloping strongly downward and with the apices turned up, beneath furnished with a basal and a submedian tooth ; inferior quadrate, the apex shallowly but broadly notched (Fig. 4, No. 5.). Wings hyaline ; stigma black, that of forewing 3 mm. in length, that of hind 4 mm.; trigone traversed or entire in all wings ; one cubital nervure in all wings ; 9-15 | 15-9 nodal index ——_—_-—__; reticulation moderately open. 10-11 | 10-10 Female similar to male but wings palely saffronated at the base and along whole length of costal margin. The black band on frons much broader than 12-18 | 16-12 in the male. Abdominal segment 9 entirely yellow ; nodal index————__-— ; 12-12 | 12-12 13-16 | 16-12 ——_—_—-— ; vulvar scale of great length, blackish brown, yellow at base. 13-13 | 12-14 This species is readily distinguished from the following by the more open reticulation of the wings and by the face being marked conspicuously with black. The character of the trigones varies, they are as often free as traversed (once) in the male. In the female they are invariably traversed once in the forewings but in the hind may consist of 3 cells by the confluence of three nervures at: the centre of trigone. Selys gives as a character the number of antenodal nervures, which he states are fewer in brevistigma than in parvistigma. The latter species was however described from a female and it will be seen from above that the antenodals in the female of brevistigma are considerably more than in the male of the same species so that this character is purely a@ sexual one and will not stand as a distinguishing character. Hab. Mashobra Hill, Simla Hill States, 7,000 ft. Type mele in the Saunder’s collection, cotvpe female in the British Museum. I am indebted to the Indian Museum for the loan of specimens of this and the following insect which were collected by Mrs. and Dr. 8S. Kemp, vi, 1921. Mr. O. Lindgren has also sent me a female of brevistigma from Turzum near Darjeeling and Mr. Rishworth another of the same sex from Simla. Cordulegaster parvistigma, Selys, Bull. Acad. Belg.

INDIAN DRAGONFLIES, 43 Abdomen similarly marked to that of brevistigma but the 10th segment unmarked. The specimens kindly sent me by Dr. Kemp were collected at Baghi, Simla Hill States, 8,800 ft., x. 21.

Similar to male but differing in the following respects :— Labium with a broader border of black, the basal tongue of black prolonged to meet the black border of labium so that the ground colour is split up into two yellow spots. 44 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST, SOCIETY, Vol. XXIX. Vulvar scale black unmarked with yellow at the base. Annules on 8th abdomi- nal segment widely interrupted and very narrow. | Hab. Calvert has reported this species from Kashmir which is the only locality within Indian limits where it has so far been found. Kashmir specimens do not differ in any respect from European ones. The above description has been made from a male kindly presented to me by Mr. Kenneth Morton of Edinburgh and was taken in the Bass Alps, Pyrenees.

INDIAN DRAGONFLIES, 45 Legs black, anterior pair of femora pale brown inwardly. Hind and mid femora with a row of very minute, very closely-set spines ; tibial spines fine and not very numerous, Wings hyaline, reticulation close, moderately narrow, much shorter than abdomen. Stigma black, inner end not oblique, not braced, over 2 to 3 cells. Membrane small, cinereous; trigones traversed by a curved nervure; 6 to 7 cubital nervures in all wings ; basal space traversed once in all wings ; nodal index 12-22 | 22-11 —_—__—_——-— ; hypertrigones traversed 3 times in all wings; Rspl. and Mspl. 16-17 | 17-13 absent ; 6 to 7 supplementary nervures to bridge; 9 cells in loop; anal triangle of 2 to 3 cells. Abdomen very long and slender, segments 1 to 3 tumid, 8 slightly dilated, black marked with yellow as follows :—Segment 1 unmarked, its dorsum and that of segment 2 coated with yellow hairs; segment 2 with an apical annule, the oreillet and a ventral streak on the border yellow; segments 3 and 4 with narrow apical lunules and a small subdorsal spot about the middle of segment ; segments 5 to 7 with only the apical annule ; remaining segments black, un- marked. Anal appendages black, the superior slightly divaricate, very broad at base and thickened, flattened apically and quadrate at extreme end. A small downwardly directed spine about the middle. Inferior as long as superiors, quadrate, deeply concave above, rather deeply notched at apex (Fig. 4, Nos. 1 and 2). In one of the males kindly sent to me by Mr. H. Stevens from Gopaldhara, Assam, there is the most extraordinary complexity of reticulation of left wings, especially of left forewing where the nervures here and there are seen to throw out branches in all directions, whilst the base of the wing is a complex network of fine veins. Female. Abdomen 58 mm. Hindwing 45 mm. Very similar to male. Wings hyaline, saffronated at base as far out as the first antenodal nervure ; trigone of forewing with 2 cells, that of the hind with 3 formed by confluence of three nervures at the centre of trigone ; nodal index similar to that of male. Between the two lateral stripes on thorax are three yellow spots. Abdomen cylindrical, very tumid at base, segments 3 and 4 distinctly narrower than the others. Yellow markings rather more pronounced than in the male. Border of segments below narrowly margined with yellow. Anal appendages small, black, cylindrical, separated by a conical protuberance thickly coated with yellow hairs. Vulvar scale short, tongue-like, projecting slightly beyond end of 10th seg- ment. Hab. Bengal and Assam. I am indebted to Mr. H. Stevens for examples of this fine insect. Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher has taken it at Kurseong where also he has found the exuvia in numbers clinging to rocks, | On a first examination of these I was so struck by the close resemblance of the larve to that of Cordulegaster annulata that I came to the conclusion they must be Cordulegaster brevistigma, Selys. Unfortunately in none of the exuvia sent could the venation be deciphered. Mr. Fletcher then very kindly placed more material at my disposal and in three of these the main nervures are fairly distinct. The nervure Cui is strongly curved as in Orogomphus and thus throws out Cordulegaster in which it is almost flat. Mr. Fletcher informs me that Orogomphus atkinsoni was quite common flying about at the time he found the exuvia. The extraordinary close resemblance between the two larvee serves to show that there is a much closer relationship between the two genera 46 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST, SOCIETY, Vol, XXIX. than was hitherto thought to exist. The exuvia mentioned above will be des- cribed in the ‘*‘ Memoirs of Pusa.” Orogomphus speciosus, Selys, Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova (2), x., pp. 481-482 (1891) ; Williamson, Proc. U. 8. Nat.

(Continued from page 898 of Vol. XXVIII) Fig. A. Fig. A. Diagram of apex of wing showing :— Rs bifurcating as in A’schna. Mii making an abrupt curve towards the stigma as in Anax. Two rows of cells between Mi and Mia at outer end of stigma as in most species of Gomphus (3 rows in Heterogomphus). The stigma braced. spl present. The present part deals with the key to the whole of the Suborder Anisoptera, the key to the remaining Suborder Zygoptera forming Part III of this article. (Indian species only.) I have included all the keys that have appeared in ‘‘ Indian Dragonflies ’’, but have made extensive alterations, aiming first at simplicity and secondly at deleting all the Mesopotamian species which have appeared in those keys. During the late war, Mesopotamia became politically a part of India, it no longer is so and all the entomologists who went there from this country have now left it so that interest in its fauna has died down. In a zoographical sense its dragonfly fauna had few relations with India and on this ground alone it is better to remove them from our list. In the key I have added not only all new species which have since been described but also others, the descriptions of which will shortly be published and other species, which although not new, have since been recorded from within Indian limits, thus the list will be practically up to date at the time when it appears in print. The way new species have come to light during the past two years has been perfectly amazing and serves to show how little work has been done upon the dragonfly fauna of this country. A good number of corrections in the keys has been made, these having been detected in the course of revision. I have also DRAGONFLY COLLECTING IN INDIA. 49 found the necessity of adding a few more diagrams in this part, to aid the amateur in the working of the key, which as will be seen is mainly a dichotomous one.

The Bombay Natural History Society has received from Mr. Primrose a num- ber of Tree-Shrews from the Mergui Archipelago collected by him in 1921. They are from the various islands from Tavoy to Sullivan’s Island, opposite to the districts on the mainland where occur 7’. belangeri tenaster and JT. clarissa,. described by me in the Journal for 1917. Those from the southern Islands, Sullivan’s and Hastings Islands, and, more doubtfully, Kissaraing, appear to be referable to the mainland form opposite them, 7. clarissa. | But the northern ones, from Tavoy, King’s and Ross Islands, are decidedly darker than the mainland tenaster, a darkening which is at 1ts maximum in King’s Island, and this would seem to necessitate the giving of a special name :— Tupaia belangerr brunetta, subsp. n. Essentially similar to 7. b. tenaster, but (at least in the later part of the year darker in colour, with a specially darker crown, which is in some cases almost black. Posterior part of back, in representative specimens, with a broad blackish wash, which is, however, not present in all, but is probably seasonal. Dimensions of type :—Head and body 179 mm.; tail 150; hindfoot 42; ear 19. Skull, greatest length 50 mm.; length of snout 23. Hab.—Northern islands of Mergui Archipelago ; type from King’s Island. Type.—Adult male. B.M. No. 23.1. 6, 35. Original number 77. Collected Ist October 1921 by Mr. C. Primrose. Presented to the National Museum by the Bombay Natural History Society. Even then it is not certain that the black back appears in October in the Tavoy and Ross specimens, as none of suitable date are available, but they may be provisionally assigned to the same form as those of King’s Island. Those of all three islands are distinguished from tenaster by the noticeably darker crown. The light shoulder mark is strongly developed i in all the northern Mer- gui specimens, “much more so than in the southern. No. XXXVITI. THE MOUSE-DEER (TRAGULUS) OF THE MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO. By OLDFIELD THOMAS, F.R.S. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) Mr. Primrose has obtained in the Mergui Archipelago a number of speci- mens of the genus Tragulus, all belonging to the group of smaller species—the kanchil group. i eal Ki “J SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 85 From Lampi or Sullivans’ Island, in the southern part of the Archipelago “he has sent examples topotypical of Miller’s Tragulus lampensis, or, as I should prefer to call it, 7. ravus lampensis, thus attaching it to its parent form, the 7. yavus of the peninsular mainland. It is a form in which the buffy or ochraceous -tints are at a maximum, and the back is scarcely blackened at all. But from Kisseraing, half-way up the Archipelago, and King’s Island, in its northern part, the Traguli are so much darker than either lampensis or the mainland ravus as to deserve subspecific distinction. Tragulus ravus mergatus, subsp. n. Colour essentially as in ravus, but the back more heavily blackened and with ‘the dorsal dark colour passing down on the sides of the neck, shoulders and _ flanks, while in ravus these latter are very markedly lighter than the back. Under surface with the ochraceous markings at a maximum as regards extent and richness of tone, but they are, as usual, very variable; in the type the whole middle area of the belly is rich ochraceous, the white of the chest and inguinal regions completely separated. Dimensions of the type.—Head and body 480 mm.; hindfoot 186. Skull, ‘greatest length 103. Hab.—Northern half of Mergui Archipelago ; type from King’s Island, other ‘specimens from Kisseraing. Type.—Adult female B. M. No. 23.1.6.73 Original number 97, ‘Collected 6th October 1921 by Mr. C. Primrose. Presented to the National Museum by the Bombay Natural History Society. Three specimens from King’s Island and three from Kisseraing. It may be noted that the Kisseraing specimens were killed in the comparatively ‘dry month of January, while the paler lampensis of Sullivans’ Island were killed in March, so that the darker colour of the former does not seem to be due to sea- sonal “ saturation ”’. No. XX XIX. ON THE LARGE SQUIRRELS OF THE RATUFA GIGANTEA GROUP. By OLDFIELD THOMAS, F.R.S. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) While naming specimens of Ratufa from the Mergui Archipelago I have had occasion to look through all our material of the R. gigantea group in order to learn the relationships of the different forms to each other. Mr. Miller has separated the mainland members of the group into two— the northern gigantea, and the more southern pheopepla which runs from Tenasserim down into the Malay Peninsula, with various insular forms in the Islands. As usual he applies binomial terms to insular forms, and on this account ‘uses pheopepla as the primary specific name for the Tenasserim animal, the earlier melanopepla having been founded on the form of Telibon Island. But, as in other cases, I am not prepared to use binomial terms for every island race, and should certainly consider melanopepla specifically inseparable from the mainland forms, so that this name would be equally applicable to the animal 86 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL AIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXIX. of Tenasserim, which should, therefore, bear the trinomial R. melanopepla pheopepla. Now R. melanopepla in the broad sense—that is, including all the forms from Tenasserim southwards—is characterised not only by its untufted ears, but by having a broad wash of yellow crossing the black of the upper side of the forearm and wrist, and it is interesting to trace how far north this coloration is found. It occurs in Southern Siam, but at Chieng-mai we find the black-wristed form, which is therefore to be reckoned as belonging to R. gigantea, and not to melano- pepla. More to the west, the melanopepla wrist-colour occurs in the Mt. Popa marana and the Lower Chindwin felli, the latter being the most northern known. But these two animals, marana and felli, have,in addition, acorresponding ex- tension of the yellow on the hind limb, forming a small patch on the inner side. of the metatarsus (outer in the prepared skins with the feet reversed) this double marking also occurring in several of the races of melanopepla,much further south.. But in gigantea, which has no forearm patch, the distribution of the metatarsal patch proves to be of interest in regard to the races of that animal. We find no trace of it in Nepal, Sikkim (presumably Bhotan), and Mishmi specimens, representing the rather doubtful subspecies 2. g. macruroides Hodgs. In Assam, where the typical gigantea* occurs, a few and almost imperceptible yellow hairs are to be found in some specimens, but not in all. Further eastwards and southwards the yellow increases in amount, until after passing a zone (from the Naga Hills to near Mandalay) where it is irregular or occasionally absent, the Squirrels from Myitkina, Katha, Shan States and North Siam always. appear to have it present and well defined. : This being the case, we should apparently recognise the latter as forming a yellow-marked subspecies grading north-westwards into gigantea, but abruptly and sharply separated on the south from the melanopepla forms without any yellow on the hind foot, but with prominent patches on the fore. Ratufa gigantea stigmosa, subsp. n. Essentially like true gigantea so far as the tufted ears, and the absence of a forearm patch are concerned, but with a well-marked yellow patch on the hallucal side of the metatarsus. Size about as in gigantea, though the two Siamese: specimens (one the type) have the skull a little larger than is usual in that animal. Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh :—Head and body 417 mm ; tail 477 ; hindfoot 82; ear 30. Skull, greatest length (to occipital crest) 79: condylo-incisive length 72°5; zygomatic breadth 48:2; upper tooth-series 15. Hab.—North-Eastern and Eastern Burma and North Siam. Type from Doi Sritepe, Chiengmai, Siam. Other specimens from Myitkina (Venning, Madaya (Barton), Gokteik (Shortridge), Katha (Kemmis) and Melamoung W. Siam (Stockley). : Type.—Adult female. B.M. No. 98. 10. 5. 40. Collected 10th April 1898 and presented by Mr. Th. H. Lyle. *Messrs. Robinson and Kloss speak of the tyre specimen of gigantea as ‘‘ formerly in the India® Museum, but apparently no Jonger in existence.” 1t was however still in the Indian Museum when that was broken up. and igs nowin the British Museum—B.M. No. 79 11. 21. 336. Owing to having had something like sixty years exposure to light, this type is completely bleached, and has become so like R.g. lutrina of the Chindwin as tobe almost indistinguishable- from it. But McCleveand described the animal as being glossy black, so that he certainly did not (and indeed could not at that date) get lutrina from the Chindwin. The R. gigantea black is known to bleach to brown as May be seen on the old fur of many changing specimens, and there is no doubt the same change has taken place, post mortem, during the long period of exposure we know this speci:nen to have had. SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY 87 No. XL. A NEW MOUSE FROM MADURA, S. INDIA. By OLDFIELD THOMAS, F.RB.S. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) Among some specimens from the Palni Hills region of Madura, collected for the Mammal Survey by Mr. C. McCann, and submitted to me by the Bombay Natural History Society there occur some examples of a Leggada which has a really remarkable resemblance to the L. cooki, Ryley, of the Shan States and Chin Hills, no mice allied to the latter being known from any of the great inter- vening area. A close comparison of the two, however, shows that the 8. Indian form has decidedly shorter ears, and there are also other slight differences, so that & special name is clearly required for it. Leggada palnica, sp. n. General appearance as in L. cooki. Size averaging slightly less. Fur not spinous in any of the specimens, while it often is in cooki; hairs of back about 7 mm. in length. General colour above dull mouse-brown, with scarcely any trace of the warmer and more rufous tint found in cooki. Undersurface dull whitish, sometimes washed with drabby, the bases of the hairs broadly slaty. Ears decidedly shorter than in cooki, measured as 13 mm. in most of the speci- mens, 14 in two, while in a series of cooki this measurement is usually 16, some- times 17 and rarely 15 mm. ; in some spirit specimens of palnica the ears attain at most 14 mm. Hands and feet white. Tail short-haired, blackish above, whitish below, the contrast not strongly marked. Mammae 3-2-10. Skull very like that of DL. cooki, but slightly smaller and more slenderly built. Palatal foramina reaching to the level of the anterior third of m!. Molars of normal proportions, m!. not specially elongated. Dimensions of the type, measured in the flesh :—-Head and body 78 mm. ; tail 90; hindfoot 17; ear 13. Skull, greatest length 23; condylo-incisive length 21:7; nasals 8; interorbital breadth 3:3; breadth of brain case 10°3; palatal foramina 5°5; upper molar series 3° 7. Hab.—Palni Hills, Madura, S.

Collected 22nd February 1922 by Mr. C. McCann. Presented to the National Museum by the Bombay Natural History Society. Fifteen specimens examined. The mice of this part of S. India hitherto obtained are all either members of Leggadilla or of the very different Leggada booduga group. Mr. McCann ob: tained examples of both of these as well as of the new form. 88 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SCCIETY, Vol. XXIX. Ne. XLI. ON THE FORMS CONTAINED IN THE GENUS HARPIOCEPHALUS. By OLDFIELD THOMAS, F.R.S. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum). Among the small mammals obtained for the Survey by Mr. McCann in the Palni Hills, 8. India, there occurs a specimen of Harpiocephalus, a genus scarce- ly known from the peninsula of India, and I have, therefore, made a careful com- parison of this specimen with our other examples of the group. ‘The only species of restricted Harpiocephalus hitherto known is the original H. harpia of Java, with what I should consider a recognisable subspecies in Dar- jeeling and Bhotan, H. h. lasyurus, Hodgs. To these the S. Indian animal, of which a second specimen, from Malabar, is in the British Museum, is very nearly allied, but it would seem to be subspe- cifically separable, having alonger forearm than either the Himalayan or Javan forms, while it is of the bright colour of the latter. It may be called Harpiocephalus harpia madrassius, subsp. n. Forearm longer than in the other subspecies, two females having theirs 53:5 and 52 mm., as against 49°5, 50°0 and 50°5 in Javan females, the males of the latter being again smaller. Of the Himalayan lasyurus a male has the forearm 45:5, and another specimen, probavly a female, 50° 7. Colour bright rufous, as in harpia, the grey woolly underfur contrasting with the red of the tips of the hairs. In lasywrus the ground colour is much browner. Dimensions of the type :—Forearm 53:5 mm. ; head and body, measured in flesh, 66; tail 49; ear 17: third finger, metacarpus 51 ; first phalanx 22 ; lower leg and hindfoot (c.u.) 34. Hab.—South India. Type from Perumal, Palni Hills, 5,000’; another speci- men from Malabar. Type.—Adult female, skin without skull. B.M.No. 23.1.8.1 Original number 83. Collected 29th March 1922 by Mr. C. McCann and presented by the Bombay Natural History Society. Besides the examples of the three races of H. harpia, harpia, lasyurus and mad- rassius, there are in the Museum two spirit specimens of a very fine Harpioce- phalus from Upper Burma, which is clearly a different species, and may be called Harpiocephalus mordax, sp. n. Size larger than in harpia. Colour corresponding to that of the brightest rufous examples of that species. Skull markedly larger than that of harpia, with bigger crests and more widely expanded zygomata. Muzzle much developed, broad and heavy. Anterior teeth, incisors and canines, much enlarged, very stout and heavy, while even the premolars are slightly broader than the first molar, than which they are narrower in harpia. Posterior molar not quite so minute as it is in the latter. Dimensions of the type, measured on the spirit specimen :—Forearm 54 mm. ; head and body (contracted) 61; tail 46; ear 19; third finger, meta- carpus 50; first phalanx 23°5; lower leg and hindfoot (c.u.) 35. Skull, greatest length 23-6; occipito-nasal length 21:4; zygomatic breadth 14°6; breadth across muzzle astride canines 7:3; palato-sinual length 10°8; front of canine to back of m? 7:3. SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE MAMMAL SURVEY. 89 Hab.—Upper Burma. Type from Mogok. Type.—Adult female in spirit. B.M. No. 4. 4. 27. 1. Collected and pre- sented by Mr. Herbert Hampton. Two specimens. This fine species is readily distinguishable by its larger skull, and the great development of the muzzle and canines. Attention should be called to the fact that in this genus, as shown by our good series of H. harpia from Java, the female is larger than the male, the difference being especially conspicuous in the skulls. Whether this is known to occur in other genera of Microchiroptera I do not know. In the Megachiroptera the size difference between the sexes appears, as a rule, to have been found so slight that Dr. Andersen did not think it worth while to take notice of it in his average measurements. He states, however, that in Hidolon the females ‘“‘ average a trifle larger than the males,” while, on the other hand, the males of Hpomops, Hypsignathus, Epomophotus and Lonycteris “ average noticeably larger ’’ than females. | 12 90 A COLLECTION OF MAMMALS MADE sy H.

The collection contains 302 specimens, representing 12 genera and 15 species, and was made during the months of April and May 1921. About 244 of the total number are of well known rats and mice, while the re- mainder belong to species which have previously been obtained by the Survey ; consequently the collection may be regarded as supplementary to the work done by N.

BY JosEPH OmER-Coorer, F.L.S. (With 6 plates and 2 text figures.) * During the last two years collections of Woodlice from the Mesopotamian Region have been sent to me for identification by Mr. Robert Gurney, ,a., Mr. W. Evans and Mr, R.G. Tame, and the specimens in the British Museum have also been examined. These collections contain in all about 150 specimens representing sixteen species of which six appear to be undescribed. The identification of the specimens has been much facilitated through the kindness of the British Museum authorities, who placed their very extensive collections at my disposal, including the whole of the Budde Lund collection. Through this I was able in the majority of cases to confirm the identi- fication of the less common species by direct comparison with the type specimens. The Budde Lund manuscript was also consulted and proved of the greatest assistance. Itake this opportunity of expressing my most sincere thanks to the Museum authorities, and in particular to Dr. W. T. Calman, F.z.s., for the kindness which he has shown in giving me every facility to examine the specimens and consult the literature, and also for personally assisting me in the translation of various foreign publications, The collections show no very striking features, most of the species being found also in Algeria, Egypt or Southern Europe, while the new species are also closely allied to species found in these regions, with the exception of © Periscyphis Tamet, Sp.n., which appears to be most closely related to cer- tain Central African forms. The discovery of specimens of Hemilepistus pectinatus, Budde Lund, is however of considerable interest as they possesses free coxal plates on the 2nd, 8rd and 4th trunk segments, a feature unknown previously in any normal genus of the Oniscoidea.* * Since this paper was in the hands of the printer I have found in a paper by Dolifus a reference to these coxal plates which is as follows :— ANOMALONISCUS. Gen. Nov. ’ alas **Ce genre qui parait se rapprocher du genre Alloniscus Dana. s'en distingue par le singulier charactére suivant chez les Q les parties latérales des segments 2, 3 et 4 du pereion présentent une division trés nette qui délimite un large coxopodite, analoque a celui quis’observe dans le genre Ligia. Ce charactere est d’autant plus extraordinaire qu'il est limité 4 un petit nombre de segments et qu'il ne s’obse ve pas chez le mile. Voicidu reste la diagnose du genre’ Adrian Doilfus 1893 Bull Soc. Zool de France. Tom XVIII p. 187. Examination of the specimens of Alloniscus in the collection of the British Museum reveals the fact that the majority of species have a suture or groove between the coxal plate and the tergum in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th trunk segments only, and that this character is confined to the female sex. Ihave also received a letter from Mr. Harold Jackson, M.Sc.. who has been working upon the genus Ligia and who kindly examined a number as legards their coxal plates. His observations appear to me to be of Considerable interest and I am therefore quoting the grcater part of his letter. ** Your request has incited me to look into the point at once in the hope it will be of use to you and I have examined some 50 Ligia to-day with the following results: 24 of the specimens were male and 23 female.’”’ By ‘‘every segment *’ I mean ‘‘ every thoracic segment.” Ligia exotica, Roux. 2, 3 and 4 separated by very deep grooves 1, slightly grooved, 5, 6, 7 progressively less deeply grooved towards the metasome. , Exceedingly faint indications only (as a matter of fact I can quite excuse anyone unprovided . with a first rate binocular miscroscope not seeing them at all). L. pallasii, Brandt. Q Coxa on every segment separated by very deep grooves. “94 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST, SOCIETY, Vol. XXIX. That another species, Porcellio Calmant, Sp. n., which shows this structure, should be found in the same district, is a remarkable coincidence especi- ally as the genus Porcellio (to which Hemiiepistus is very closely related is of great size and very widely distributed. It is possible that a careful examination of the known species of Porcellio might reveal the presence of free coxal plates in other species as the suture lines are not very conspicuous, but though I have examined a considerable number of species I have not so far observed it. In the examination of this collection, though no very large number of specimens were dissected, the variability of certain features was very noticeable, A number of species from Northern and Central Africa and Great Britain have also been examined and these have also proved very vari- able. In the majority of cases species have been described from specimens of one sex only and not infrequently from single specimens and as this fact is often omitted from the description considerable confusion arises, The chief features in which I have found the sexes to differ are as ‘follows :— The size and distribution of the tuberculations. The size and shape of the lobes of the head, though, this is rarely well marked. The structure of the epistome, though but slightly. The comparative and total length of the joints of the antennal fla- -gellum. The number of brushes on the mandibles and their distribution. The shape, size, number and notching of the teeth of the outer endite of the maxillula. The size and number of the spines of the peraeopoda. This is usually wel] marked especially in the first pair. The shape and size of the second joint of the seventh peraeopod especially in Pertscyphis and allied genera where it is usually very marked. The length of the uropoda which are often much longer in the male than the female especially in the genus Porcellio, where in some South -Exropean and North African forms, the length of the aropoda in the male 18 very great, 3g 2—6 deeply separated, Others with distinct shallow grooves LL, Oceanica (Linn). Q Very dezp grooves separating coxa on every segment. Distinct or deep grooves on every sezment. L. Olfersti, Brandt. © 2, 3 and 4 very deeply grooved. In other segments absent or very faintly marxed. Exceedingly faint indication or no trace of a division, LL. Cinerascens, B-L. Q Very distinct grooves on every segment. Very faint indications only. L. Novae-Zealandica Dana. 2 2,3, and 4 very deeply grooved, other segments more or less well marked. 3 No specimens in my possession. Th> result of this sm vl investigation seems to me Very interesting. ‘ It is very obvious that th presence or absence of separated coxa in the male only is not without specific importanee, a3 the charac‘er is rematkably constant in the species. The females ail agree in having the character more strongly marked in segments 2,3 and 4 than any male. It is more or less marked in the other segments, but not so specifically distinct as to have much value, (Signed)' HAROLD G, JACKSON, TERRESTRIAL ISOPODA OF MESOPOTAMIA. 95 The principal variations which I have noticed amongst individuals of the same sex are :— Size.— Very considerable differences are often found between individuals apparently adult. Colour.— The tuberculation of the body, but variation in this respect is not great. The size and shape of the lobes of the head which vary to some extent with age and sex. The development of the coxal and pleural plates and the degree of sinuosity of the hinder margins of the trunk segments, though thisis not very well marked, is of some importance as these features have been made much use of by some systematists. Number of ocelli. Number of ‘ olfactory ’’ setae on the antennule. Length of the joints of the antennal flagellum, though variation in this is usually slight Number of brushes on the mandibles, and their arrangement. This character seems particularly variable. The remaining mouth parts and the uropoda also show occasional variation, but this is not usually well marked.
