SYSTEMATIC MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAF (HETEROPODA) WITH ENUMERATION OF THE SPECIES IN THE LEYDEN MUSEUM
BY
Dr. J. J. TESCH.
(With plates 1—5).
Having recently!) tried to bring some order into the great confusion, existing in the systematic literature on the Heteropods, and to eliminate some of the difficulties, which the investigator of this group of animals is sure to encounter with, I have been convinced, more than anybody else, that my study could have nothing but a provisional value, and that a firmer base could only be obtained by means of continued labour, and comparison of more material.
For a systematic revision I have chosen the family Atlantidae. These animals with their tiny, inconspicuous shells, have received but little attention, and after Souleyet’s memorable work, more than half a century ago, only very few naturalists have dealt with the group. Among them I may name Gould, Smith, Oberwimmer, Vayssiére and myself. Yet it may safely be said, that the discrimination of the species is perhaps more difficult than in any other family of the Heteropods.
Mr. P. J. Buitendyk presented, shortly ago, to the Museum, a collection of plankton, brought together, almost

exclusively, in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. The study of this material has been a most laborious task, as I had to search for the small Atlantidae among innumerable quantities of Copepods, Ostracods, Cumacea, etc., with which each of the glass vessels was crowded. The collection, - originating from the surface of the Ocean, is rich in young forms and in not full-grown specimens, which seems to point to the fact, quite as in the Pteropoda, that the adult specimens of the Atlantidae, and probably of all the Heteropoda, are comparatively rarely found at the surface, and generally prefer deeper zones.
I should not have been able to bring my study to a rather satisfactory end, if Prof. L. Joubin had not most kindly sent to me; on my request, the valuable types of Souleyet, which are deposited in the »Muséum d'Histoire naturelle” at Paris. I beg this gentleman to take my sincere thanks for the great service he has rendered me. Taking into account its long preservation, for seventy years, in alcohol, the collection proved to be in an excellent state. Unfortunately, two of Souleyet’s species, Atlanta quoyana and Atlanta involuta, were not represented, while
a third (Atlanta depressa) had its shell quite dissolved. So, ~
there remains some uncertainty, in my opinion at least, about the two firstnamed forms (which are neither in the British Museum); on the other hand, I have been fortunate enough to recognize Atlanta depressa in the collection of Mr. Buitendyk.
I have thought it useful to figure all the species of Souleyet again '), with exception of those, of which good drawings, leaving no doubt as to the identification of the species, already exist. Souleyet’s figures, though generally remarkably accurate, are, however, too small, and he has overlooked several remarkable features about sculpture, which may supply excellent specific characters.
1) When nothing else is noticed, the figures here given are drawn after Souleyet’s types, with the camera.

MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE, 3
May this paper contribute something to our knowledge of the group, and facilitate in any way the task of future investigators — a task which I know by experience to be by no means an easy one.
The genera of the Atlantidae.
Two genera are generally admitted, Oxygyrus and Atlanta, which are distinguished by a whole series of characters. After the study of Souleyet’s types I have thought it necessary to add a third genus, Protatlanta, the type of which is represented by Souleyet’s Atlanta lamanoni, which name has been altered by Smith, for reasons of priority in nomenclature, in Atlanta souleyett. This remarkable new genus forms in many respects a transition between Atlanta and Oxygyrus, but it cannot be classed among either of these genera.
Key to the genera.
1. Shell nautiloid, all whorls in the same plain, horny to a greater or lesser extent, according to age; keel mem- branous, nearly as broad as the last whorl; operculum triangular; animal with a very bulky proboscis and a large Seeeromine fin . . . . . . . Oxygyrus Benson.
Shell right-handed; apical whorls forming a little spire at one side of the flat shell, an umbilicus existing at the op- posite side; operculum rounded, oval, with a spiral portion . . 2
2. Keel of the shell cartilaginous, encircling nearly the whole last whorl (but often wanting as it is most easily to be removed) and extending to the outer lip of the aperture; shell quite ') cartilaginous (?); animal very much resembling that of Oxygyrus, with a mighty proboscis mueeelaree sucker . . =. . . . . rotatlanta mihi.
1) The specimens of Souleyet, which are.very well preserved, show no trace of chalky matter in their shells. On the other hand, Smith (p. 44) has stated, that the shell is ,,of the same vitreous character” as in Aflanta. This question may therefore remain unsettled.

The well-known typical representant of this genus, O. keraudrenit (Lesueur), has been classed firstly among the species of Atlanta (so by Lesueur himself, Rang, Cuvier, Deshayes), till Benson established 2 new genus for it. The diagnosis, given by this author of the type, his O. inflatus, which, moreover, has never been figured, is very incomplete and does not show any specific characters, although beyond doubt to be applied to Orygyrus, and probably to the common O. keraudreni. It seems advisable to reject Benson’s species. ;
I have shown in my monograph (pp. 49 and 50), that Oxygyrus n. sp. Macdonald is the young stage of a species - of Souleyet. Leaving aside some doubtful forms (which I shall have occasion to refer to further on), there remain only two species.
Key to the species.
Shell cartilaginous for the greater part (in adult state), large (5—10 mm.), chalky part of shell without spiral lines; median plate of radula with three spines, of which the middle is the largest one, while the lateral spines are nearly obliterated . . Oxygyrus keraudreni (Lesueur).
Shell with its cartilaginous part (if present) smaller, small —

6 MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE,
I confess, that I entertain some doubt as to the specific distinctness of these two species. The features by which they are to be recognized, seem to be most conspicuous, but they all (except those of the radula) vanish with in- creasing age.
As | have pointed out formerly in my monograph (p. 50), and is f.i. stated by Oberwimmer, O. keraudreni passes in its youth through a Bellerophina-stage, as it is called, and it seems as if Q. rangt is only an intermediate form be- tween this Bellerophina and the full-grown O. keraudreni.
The specimens of Mr. Buitendyk were all young specimens in different stages of development and from them I inferred the following notes:
I. Shell of '/, mm.: Quite chalky, wholly provided with undulating spiral lines. Form much rounded, which becomes yet more conspicuous by the total absence of a keel, Faintly tinted in rose. (Bellerophina).
I], Shell of 1 mm.: At the aperture a small amount of cartilaginous matter is deposited; this part of the shell is uncoloured and without sculpture. A very high carti- laginous keel at the aperture, but only over a short distance on the last whorl, and abruptly terminating. (Stage figured by Macdonald, and copied by me, Pl. I, fig. 5).
III. Shell of 2 mm.: The membranous part of the shell occupies the second half of the last whorl, and so does the keel which indeed is intimately connected with it.
IV. Shell of 2,5—3 mm. (of Souleyet): The membranous part of the shell has not extended further, but the first half of the last whorl, though chalky, does not show the spiral lines '), which have retired entirely to the penultimate whorl.
All these stages are to be referred to O. rangi. In my material of O. keraudreni the smallest specimen measures © mm. Here the whole last whorl is cartilaginous; the keel, which is very high on the second half of this whorl,
1) Only some transverse lines of growth are to be seen here.
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE. 7
becomes very low and inconspicuous on the first half, though reaching the inner lip, and so embracing the whole circumference of the shell. The separation of the cartilaginous and the chalky part of the shell is not quite clear, but it seems as if the membranous matter gradually covers the chalk and absorbs it. Sculpture is altogether absent.
Though there is a gap in my material between the shells of 3 mm. and of 5 mm., the idea that O. rangi represents a young stage of 0. keraudreni is very suggesting, also, because O. rangi has been caught by Mr. Buitendyk in the Mediterranean, which has always been regarded as the ' typical habitat of O. keraudreni.
But a few facts must be born in mind. Firstly, the Bellerophina-stage of O. keraudreni, as it is figured by Oberwimmer, exhibits spiral lines, but these do not undulate, as is decidedly the case in O. rangi. Such simple lines | have not observed in any specimen. And secondly, the radulae are indeed very different. I have pointed to it formerly (monograph, Pl. VII, figs. 3 and 5), and can only confirm, after repeated investigations, that in O. keraudreni the median plate carries three spines, the middle one of which is large, while the lateral ones are inconspicuous, whereas in O. rangi these spines are of nearly the same length.
To the genus Oxygyrus, and probably to O. keraudreni, another species, » Atlanta violacea’”’ Gould, from the tropical Atlantic (copied by me, Pl. I, figs. 42 and 43) is likely to be referred; at least the shell is said to be nautiloid, with the last whorl »not rapidly enlarging, and unusually distended”’; the keel is very high at the aperture (which, however, is elliptical, not rounded) ; and finally, the side-view, showing an umbilicus at both sides of the shell, the violaceous colour, especially on the spire, and the diameter (9,5 mm.) strongly suggest the idea that the species must be classed in Oxygyrus.
The same is true perhaps for another species of the same author, » Atlanta tessellata’, also from the tropical
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
8 MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE.
Atlantic, at least on account of the nautiloid shell, and the keel extending to the outer lip of the aperture. Unfor- tunately only a surface view of the shell is given (copied by me, Pl. I, fig. 44). I think the remarkable row of »square, violaceous spots, following around the middle of the spire’ may be due to some accidental disposition of the organs of the animal itself, and not inherent to the shell. The diameter (nearly 6,5 mm.) also affords some argument to the affinity to Oxygyrus, as this diameter among the species of Atlanta is only attained by A. peron, from which »A. tessellata’’ must be certainly separated. Some more certainty, however, cannot be obtained until renewed investigation of the type-specimen.
Finally » Atlanta mediterranea’ Costa, from the Mediter- ranean, (copied by me, Pl. I, fig. 41), which is most imperfectly known, and which I had formerly (p. 10), though hesitatingly, referred to Atlanta lesueur:, belongs perhaps also in the genus Oxygyrus.
Protatlanta wmihi.
1852. Atlanta (p.p.) Souleyet.
1862. Ovygyrus (p.p.) Macdonald.
Shell cartilaginous (see note p. 3), spire short, conical’ projecting on one side, whorls much rounded in transverse section; keel horny, very high, commencing most conspi- cuously at the outer lip of the aperture, as in Oxyqyrus, and here, as in this last-named genus, consisting of two plates, which leave a small space between them, in which the mantle of the animal projects.
Animal almost entirely as in Oxygyrus, with a very bulky proboscis and short tentacles; sucker at the fin very large.
Operculum as in Atlanta, with a small spiral portion.
The type of this new genus is » Atlanta lamanoni”’ of Souleyet, which name has been altered by E. A. Smith in »Atlanta souleyetc”, as the term, used by Souleyet, had
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE. 9
been already applied, long before, by Costa to another species. The study of Souleyet’s specimens has shown me, that they exhibit a series of remarkable features which justify the establishing of a new genus, as a transition between Oxygyrus and Atlanta.
Species 1. Protatlanta souleyeti (Smith).
1852. Atlanta lamanoni Souleyet, non Eschscholtz. 1888. Atlanta souleyeti Smith.
(Plates 1 and 2, figs. 1—6).
Shell with nearly four whorls, spire rather large, last whorl much enlarging, though not in the proportion as in Atlanta; spire projecting, distinctly visible in side view ; at the umbilicus the last half of the penultimate whorl is to be seen, provided with + 10 thin spiral lines, gradually disappearing on the last whorl (fig. 3).
The cartilaginous keel is very often wanting, as it is easily to be detached from the last whorl, which it embraces almost entirely, but terminates abruptly on the first part.
The animal resembles Orygyrus in many respects (fig. 4). Proboscis very large and often swollen at the anterior part, buccal mass voluminous; tentacles short, situated at the lateral side of the eyes, which have a very broad base, and agree with those of Oxygyrus.
Sucker well developed, distinctly separated from the fin by means of a very short stalk; yet the proportion between sucker and fin is more like that of Atlanta, and so in favour of the last-named organ.
Radula (fig. 6) strong, as in all Atlantidae. Median plate with three spines, lateral ones directed outwards, and smaller than the median spine. Intermediate tooth with a large median crest, which extends nearly to the tip, resembling somewhat that of Pterotrachea. Lateral teeth both of the same length, slightly curved.
_ Operculum (fig. 5) like that of Atlanta, very thin, transparent, cartilaginous. Spiral portion (to which the
INotes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
10 MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE.,
musculous part of the tail is inserted) with a short spiral line and a few concentric ones; distal half provided with some parallel striae.
As may be inferred from the foregoing description, Protatlanta with the only species P. souleyete (Smith), forms in many respects a remarkable transition between Oxygyrus and Atlanta. To repeat it shortly : the cartilaginous consistence of the shell and the keel, the form of the last, the proboscis and the tentacles, are like that of Oxygyrus; the projecting spire, the proportion between sucker and fin, and the spiral operculum, are all features, which resemble Atlanta.
Diameter of the shell 2 mm. or less.
The species seems to live only in the Atlantic, from which it is recorded both by Souleyet and Smith (Challenger-Hxpedition).
As I had only five type-specimens of Souleyet at my disposal, I have not ventured to search for the mucous glands of the mouth, which occur in Atlanta (recorded by me mecently, —p. ol, Pl Vil shoes):
Atlanta Lesueur.
1817. Atlanta Lesueur.
1825, Steira Eschscholtz.
1868. Atalanta Knocker.
Shell and keel chalky, not flexible as in the foregoing genera, outer lip of the aperture fissured. Animal with a slender proboscis and long tentacles. Operculum with a spiral portion. ;
For further particulars I may refer to the diagnosis I have given in my monograph (pp. 50 and 51); I shall only add, that the keel is made up of two plates (as in Carinaria), leaving, at least on the last whorl, a small space between them. This keel becomes gradually lower towards the aperture, and disappears entirely at the fissure in the outer lip. |
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE. al
It is especially in Atlanta that the disproportion of the whorls is most clearly pronounced. We may distinguish safely between the spire (all the whorls but the last one) and the last whorl, which is always rolled up, in its whole extent, in the same plain, whereas the spire is more or less elevated, but nearly always very small, and consisting of generally 4—5 whorls, which follow each other regularly and gradually increasing.
By far the most species of the Atlantidae belong to this genus. Formerly, in my monograph (p. 6), I published a list containing 27 names; one of them, however, being identical with » Atlanta souleyet:’’ Smith, while three other terms (see above) are likely to be referred to Oxygyrus, the number should be reduced to 23, which, with addition of two species added by me (pp. 538, 55, Pl. VII, figs. 9 and 10, Pl. VII, figs. 14—18), makes a total number of 25 names!). I shall not repeat this list here, but shall only try to discriminate certain groups.
Firstly we may separate a few species, which are most insufficiently described, sometimes even never figured, and which, in my opinion, should be rejected entirely. They are:
A. lamanoni (Eschscholtz).
» helicialis Sowerby.
oop. t Gray (most likely = Oxygyrus keraudreni Lesueur).
2 Ae Gray (most likely = 4. peroni Tiesueur).
» planorboides Forbes.
Secondly three names are synomyms of other forms, already known:
A. rosea Souleyet = A. peroni Lesueur.
» imchnata Vayssiére (his fig. 91) = 4. fusca Souleyet. » Ooligogyra Tesch = A. lesueuri Souleyet.
Further I regard a few species as uncertain; in some cases the type-specimens have been lost, and | have not

succeeded in obtaining absolute certainty about them, though believing they may be recognized in the future. They are:
A. involuta Souleyet (= 4. turriculata? Souleyet), type lost.
» quoyana Souleyet (= 4. inflata? Souleyet), type lost.

(= A. lesueuri? Souleyet).
So there remain only 12 names, which, in my opinion, refer certainly to distinct species:

» gaudichaudi Souleyet.

These species may be arranged in different groups, as I shall try to show. Not ascribing to these groups the value of subgenera, I shall call them simply after one species which may serve as the type of the group. It appeared impossible to me to comprise in short diagnoses the very slight differences among the species, and so lL thought it sufficient, for the sake of provisional orientation, to give the following key.
Key to the groups.
1. Shell very flat, whorls all in nearly the same plain, spire scarcely or even not at all projecting beyond the last whorl, outer lip generally deeply fissured; keel (Gn adult specimens) often penetrating between the whorls, so that even the whole penultimate whorl may become encircled

by the keel; shell usually colourless, without spiral lines, sometimes attaining a size of nearly 10 mm. Atlanta peroni-group. Shell with a short conical spire, always projecting beyond the last whorl; keel generally not reaching the inner lip of the aperture; sculpture often present in the form of spiral lines on the apical whorls; shell small, with a maximum size of 3—4 mm., usually smaller. . . . 2 2. Spire straight (as regards the plain in which the last whorl is rolled up) or very faintly reflexed backwards, conical, with rather obtuse apex, generally coloured with brown or yellow tints, which vanish almost entirely on the last whorl . . . . . . . Atlanta inflata-group. Spire reflexed, either backwards or forwards, in various ways of distinction. Be ee eat ‘ 5) 3. Shell horny-coloured, spire always darker, slender; keel extending nearly to the outer lip, fissure therefore
scarcely developed. . . . . Atlanta turriculata-group. Shell colourless; spire very distinctly reflexed, outer lip deeply fissured . . . . . . Atlanta inelinata-group.
Group of Atlanta peroni.
Five species are to be distinguished here:
A. peroni Lesueur.
» steindachneri Ober wimmer. » 4affinis Tesch.
» gaudichandi Souleyet.
»» lesueuri -
oe oo 8
They are all characterized by their flat shells, which are nearly planorboid. The first three are (in adult state at least) remarkable by the keel, which separates the last whorl from the penultimate one, penetrating more or less between the whorls. In A. gaudichaudi and A. lesueurt the spire is extremely small, in comparison with the last whorl. For reasons mentioned above, I shall not try to give a key to the species of this group, which are recognizable

As is well known, the keel penetrates to a great extent between the whorls, but this character is only pronounced in adult specimens. The young shells, of which the material ecllected by Mr. Buitendyk consists, belong to the form rosea, which has been regarded by Souleyet as a distinct species. I have carefully examined shells of all ages, and after becoming convinced that the spires of A. rosea and A. peroni are absolutely identical (as is also the case with the characteristic radula), I may be allowed to give the following series:
I. Shells of 0,5—2 mm, (figs. 7—9). Rosea-form. Keel not reaching inner lip of aperture, faintly tinted in brown at the base; spire somewhat projecting (fig. 8); at the underside of the shell more ‘than two whorls are visible (fig. 9).
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. X XX.
MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE, 15
II. Shells of 3—4 mm. Like the foregoing, but kee] extending somewhat further and reaching the inner lip, sometimes even penetrating between this lip and penul- timate whorl.
Ill. Shells of 5—10 mm. With advancing age the keel penetrates further between the whorls and the whole penul- timate whorl may be (in the largest specimens) embraced by the keel (figured by Vayssiére, Pl. VI, fig. 86), but ‘inner lip always in close contact with it; at the under side of the shells three whorls may be seen. This stage is the typical peroni-form.
As has been said above, the spires of A. rosea and A. peront are wholly identical. Another proof that A. rosea is nothing but the young stage of A. peroni is afforded by the radulae. Vayssiére (p. 50, Pl. VI, figs. 88 and 89) described and figured the radula of A. peront and I can affirm his assertions after repeated investigation. With this radula the same organ in A. rosea agrees entirely. The intermediate plate exhibits at its lateral side a very distinct tooth, together with the usual point of this plate, but much smaller; the lateral teeth are much shorter.
The shell is wholly colourless, with exception of a faint brown colour at the base of the keel, which occasionally oceurs. Neither is any sculpture to be seen, only a few striae of growth. A good description is given by Vayssiére (pp. 90 and 51),
The specimens of the Siboga-Expedition, which | have fermerly referred to »A. rosea”’ (p. 57, Pl. VIII, figs, 22—24) really do not belong to this species, but to A. depressa Souleyet (see p. 21). With the information I am fortunate enough to have acquired after examination of Souleyet’s types, I readily apologize for my error.
Species 2. Atlanta steindachnert Oberwimmer.
1898. Atlanta steindachneri Oberwimmer. For description and figures I refer to Oberwimmer (copied by me in my monograph, p. 12, Pl. Il, figs. 50 and 51). Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
16 MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE.
This species is to be distinguished by the inner lip and the adjacent part of the last whorl not being in close contact with the keel, thus showing a tendency to detorsion, as this is pronounced much more clearly in Carinaria. One
may suppose this to be a character dependent on age,
but this idea is contrary to the fact that A. steindachneri reaches a size of only 3—4 mm., whereas even the largest specimens of A. peront (10 mm.) never show a similar loosing of the whorls. In all other respects (the radula of A. steindachneri is not known) the two species are closely connected.
Species 38. Atlanta ajjinis Tesch.
1906. Atlanta ajjinis Tesch.
For description and figures I refer to my monograph (p. 53, Pl. VIII, figs. 9 and 10), where I have tried to give a sufficient diagnosis of this species, which, like the foregoing, is very closely connected with A. peront. Besides some characteristic features of the shell, I may draw attention to the fact that the intermediate plate of the radula does not show a small tooth at its concave, lateral side, and that the lateral teeth are comparatively longer than in A. peroni.

For description and figures I refer to my monograph (p. 54, Pl. VII, figs. 11—13); I have only given here a drawing of the shell seen from above. The features, distinguishing this species from A. peront and allied forms, are supplied by the keel, not (or scarcely) penetrating between the inner lip and the penultimate whorl, by the smaller spire (the shell nearly wholly consisting of the last whorl), the suture being always tinted with a reddish-brown colour, which becomes most clear at the base of the keel, and finally by the radula (very powerful in this species, as I counted more than 100 transverse rows), in which the intermediate plate is not provided with a small tooth at the lateral side. Shell colourless (with exception of the suture), without sculpture, only with a few indistinct lines of growth.

This species is chiefly characterized by the great predo- minance of the last whorl, in comparison to which the spire, with only 2 or 8 whorls, is extremely small; this proportion is more pronounced here than in any other species. Outer lip deeply fissured, keel very high, separating for some distance the inner lip from the penultimate whorl. By Souleyet and Vayssiére transverse ribs, slightly undu- lating, are particularly noticed, especially on the last whorl. I have seen this sculpture only in empty shells of apparently full-grown specimens (83—4 mm.), in other cases nothing but faint lines of growth could be detected. According to Souleyet, the fissure in the outer lip, and so also the height of the keel near it, are liable to variations ; specimens, in which this fissure is very deep, were regarded by the latter author as a variety. Among the few type-specimens of Souleyet I have seen, none of them, however, exhibited a high keel and a shallow fissure, near the outer lip. One of these specimens is figured here (figs. 11 and 12).
Comparing this drawing with those, formerly given by me of A. oligogyra (Pl. VIII, figs. 14 and 15, 17 and 18), it is evident that they refer exactly to the same species. Little desirous as | am to increase the number of species, [ am fairly satisfied to state this fact, adding, that I have alluded in my monograph (p. 55) to the close affinity of the two species. At that time, however, I had no opportunity of studying an authentic A. lesueurt.
I suppose A. primitia and A. cunicula, both described by Gould, may be the same as A. lesweurt, as I moreover suggested already in my monograph (p. 11) for the first species. Here too the spire is extremely small, and is said to be violaceous. in A. primitia. This colour is also stated

by Souleyet, and I myself found a faint violet-blue colour in some of Mr. Buitendyk’s specimens.
A remarkable character of this species is also worth to be mentioned. The animal in spirit-preservation, is always, without exception, of a greyish-white colour, whereas all the other species of the A. peroni-group, in the same con- condition, exhibit a faint yellow tint. This difference in colour enables to distinguish A. lesweuri at first sight.
Group of Atlanta inflata.
To this group I have referred three species :
6. A. inflata Souleyet.
7. 4, depressa
8. ,, helicinoides ,,
These species have a short conical spire with obtuse apex, projecting beyond the last whorl, and generally coloured; this tint, however, is not peculiar to the shell itself, but to the gonad of the animal, which occupies the hindmost part of the visceral mass, so being enclosed within the apical whorls. The keel does not penetrate between inner lip and penultimate whorl.
Species 6. Atlanta inflata Souleyet.
1852. Atlanta inflata Souleyet.
1852. Atlanta quoyana? Souleyet, non Vayssiére.

I have nothing to add to my former description (monograph, pp. 56 and 57, Pl. VIII, figs. 19—21). Spire consisting of 5—7 whorls, the first 3—5 slowly and regularly increasing, penultimate and especially last whorl rapidly enlarging. In order to show the peculiar sculpture of this species and some other characters, I have figured two shells (figs. 13—16). In fig. 13 some (5—6) distinct spiral lines are visible on the first half of the penultimate whorl; I believe this sculpture to be dependent on age, however, as it is gradually disappearing in larger shells of somewhat more than 2 mm. Fissure in outer lip very wide, but shallow. T'wo whorls visible at under side of the shell. Colour absent on the last whorl, spire faintly brownish, and this colour is particularly pronounced on the suture. The same tint occurs sometimes at the inner lip. Aperture very large.
A, quoyana of Souleyet was not represented in the material from the Paris Museum. I venture to suggest that it may be the same as A. inflata. In the material procured by Mr. Buitendyk I found some specimens (figs. 15 and 16), which agree rather well with Souleyet’s figures of A, quoyana (copied in my monograph, PI. I, figs. 38 and 39), though these are much too small. Seen from above, the shells of the typical A. inflata with its characteristic spire (fig. 13) and that of » A. quoyana” (fig. 15) of Mr. Buitendyk agree entirely (except as regards the sculpture, which is absent in the latter), and so do the side-views (figs. 14 and 16); the operculum is also wholly the same (»A. quoyana’’, fig, 17) and shows a double spiral line, but no trace of parallel lines '). ;
1) It may be possible that this negative character is dependent on age, and that the lines make their appearance in quite full-grown shells.
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE. Pag
The shell, described by Vayssiére under the name of A. quoyana (copied in my monograph, Pl. I, fig. 40) is certainly not this species, but must be referred to A. helicinoides as I shall attempt to show further on (p. 23).
On the other hand the latter author has designated (p. 55, Pl. VI, fig. 90) under the name of »A. inclinata”’ a specimen, which in my opinion is an A. inflata. The shell, seen from apex, agrees exactly with my figure of the type, with the only exceptions, that no spiral sculpture is mentioned, and that the keel penetrates between the penultimate whorl and the inner lip. These two features may be, however, safely supposed to be dependent on age (the specimen of Vayssiére measured 2,6 mm.); I have noted previously that the sculpture becomes less distinct in larger shells,
Another specimen of Vayssiére, called also » A. inclinata”’, really belongs to A. fusca (see p. 26).

The types I have studied, had unfortunately their shells quite dissolved. Among the spoils of Mr. Buitendyk, however, I had the good fortune to find some specimens, surely to be referred to <A. depressa, the typical spire of which (comparatively larger than in A. inflata, compare figs. 13 and 18) could be detected even in the damaged type-specimens of Souleyet. This species may be very easily confounded with A. inflata, to which it is most nearly related, but it is distinguished: 1°. by the comparatively larger spire,
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
22 MONOGRAPH OF THE ATLANTIDAE,
2°. by the deeper fissure in the outer lip, 3°. by the umbilicus, the three last whorls (in A. inflata only two) being visible at the under side of the shell (fig. 20), and 4°. by the absence of colour on the spire. Besides, the spiral sculpture is so slightly pronounced, that even in young shells and with great magnificent power, scarcely any trace of it is to be found. The side views of A. inflata (fig. 14) and of A. depressa (fig. 19) differ also in the fact, that in the first species the aperture is much larger, and that the spire is a regular, short cone, whereas in A. depressa it is somewhat irregular, the first two whorls forming a higher, more elevated cup.
I have figured also a specimen (figs. 21 and 22), which | regard, though hesitatingly, as A. depressa. The shell, seen from apex, with its few whorls, resembles A. lesweuri'), especially on account of numerous curved lines of growth, occurring on the last whorl (fig. 21); the side view on the other hand (fig. 22) is most like that of A. depressa. Near the aperture the shell was seriously damaged.
I greatly regret to confess that I have been mistaken in my monograph, in designating the true A. depressa of the Siboga-Expedition to A. rosea (p. 57, Pl. VIII, figs. 22 and 23). In the collection of the British Museum | had at that time the opportunity to examine, A. depressa was not represented, and this may account (and in some way apologize) for my mistake. Comparing the here given figures with those formerly published, the identicalness will be evident.

This species is very closely allied to A. inflata; the whorls, however, are not only fewer in number (5), but the whole spire is much larger (fig. 23), the coils regularly increasing in size, and provided, nearly throughout, with a very distinct spiral sculpture, consisting of 3—4 lines on each whorl; this sculpture exists also at the under side of the shell, on the penultimate whorl, where it is wholly absent in A. inflata and A. depressa. It may be here once more a feature, disappearing in advancing age, but even then the proportion of spire and last whorl affords a specific distinctness. On side view (fig. 24) the spire has a conical form, somewhat larger and higher than in A. inflata. Aperture rather small. Shel] colourless, base of the keel diffusely reddish-brown, spire somewhat darker, greyish, owing to the gonad of the animal, in which often, in very regular distances around the suture, dark pigmented spots are to be seen.
I have scarcely any doubt, the shell, figured by Vayssiére under the name of » A. quoyana’’, will belong to the species under discussion (copied in my monograph, PI. I, fig. 40); though nothing is mentioned about the spiral sculpture, the surface view of the shell is exactly the same. The keel extends to the outer lip, but Vayssiére himself states, the aperture of his specimen was damaged.

Spire small, forming an elevated, slender cone (fig. 26), last whorl very large (fig. 25), much swollen; aperture rounded, with a small slit in the outer lp. Shell (5—6 whorls) always of a dark yellowish or brownish hue, especially on the spire. No sculpture (except striae of growth) in adult specimens (1,5—2 mm.), but in young ones the shell is adorned throughout by a few very distinct spiral lines; moreover, in these young specimens the spire (though consisting of the same characteristic coils, rapidly descending like those of Turritella) projects considerably beyond the last whorl, which is much smaller than in full-grown shells; the whole shell is transparent, only faintly tinted with rose.
As I have pointed out in my monograph (p. 58), the spire is very slightly reflexed backwards; in young shells of about 0,5 mm. (as above described) it is straight.
A. involuta Souleyet was not represented in the collection of the Paris Museum. The side view of this species (copied in my monograph, Pl. I, fig. 18) is very much like that of A. turriculata (only there seem to be more whorls in the spire, though Souleyet did not mention more than 6.

At first sight this species may be confounded with A. inflata or A. helicinoides. It is, however, distinguished by a whole series of characters: 1°. by the spire forming a short cone with a more pointed apex (fig. 28), 2°. by the very broad keel, extending to inner and outer lip, and so encircling the whole shell, 3°. by the dark horn-colour, also on the keel, about the same as in the foregoing species, especially on the spire, and 4°. by a very characteristic sculpture: 2—3 spiral] lines on the apical whorls, which number increases to 12—14 on the second half of the penultimate whorl (fig. 27), where these lines are slightly undulated (fig. 28). Around the umbilicus 5—7 spiral lines, likewise undulating, are distinctly visible. In no other species of Atlanta the spiral sculpture is so strongly accentuated, it occurs even in the largest shells of 2—2,5 mm., and may persist throughout the whole life of the animal. Transverse striae of growth are also very distinct on the last whorl, and here another remarkable feature may be mentioned: numerous rows of tiny points, parallel
1) This name has been given by Gray, translating , Atlante brune”’, under which litle the species is designated by Souleyet in the Atlas of the ,Voyage de la Bonite”, which appeared already in 1842.

to each other, and crossing the lines of growth, not to be confounded with the undulating spiral sculpture at the beginning of the last whorl. In fig. 27 they are not figured.
A specimen, figured ') by Vayssiére under the name ot »A. inclinata” (fig. 91), most likely belongs to A. fusca, chiefly on account of the »nombreuses lignes longitudinales paralléles, constituées par une multitude de petites ponc- tuations.” No mention is made, however, of the much coarser sculpture on the spire, which would certainly have been observed, if present.
Group of Atlanta inclinata.
It contains two species:
11. Atlanta inclinata Souleyet.
12. Atlanta gibbosa Souleyet.
These species are certainly not nearly related, and I have enclosed them in one group only for the sake of convenience, as, though mutually very clearly distinct, they are separated off from the other species by their large, conical spire, which is always reflexed on the last whorl, either forward or backward.

This beautiful species is easily recognisable by the following characters: 1°. the large spire forms a short

In one of the type-specimens of Souleyet, which I have figured here, a remarkable sculpture is visible on the spire (fig. 30), consisting of numerous transverse striae, radiating from the apex, mostly on the 294, 3rd and 4th whorl. In other specimens I have not observed this feature. The same shell also exhibits (fig. 32) around the umbilicus, and likewise radiating from it, a number of very fine grooves, slightly undulating in their course; here the penultimate whorl (as in all the specimens I have seen) is not rounded, but forms an obtuse angle in transverse section (fig. 32). On the last whorl transverse lines of growth are very distinct.

some Atlanta, as the large, elevated, conical spire, which gives to the shell a rather regular (and so in Atlanta very uncommon) appearance, is much like that of larval forms. Formerly (monograph, p. 60) I have pointed out why I regard 4. gibbosa certainly as a distinct species.
The following is a list of the species of the Atlantidae in the Leyden Museum:
Oxygyrus keraudren (Lesueur). “ rangi (Souleyet). Atlanta peroni Lesueur. » gaudichaudi Souleyet. 5 lesueurt . ” inflata ” 3 depressa 3 » helicinoides s turriculata WOrbigny. ” (o} Sco = Soulevet. » melinaia » » gibbosa _
So the Museum possesses 12 of the 15 species I have accepted in this paper. Absent are Protatlanta souleyeti (Smith), Atlanta steindachnert Oberwimmer and Atlanta afinis Tesch.
Horizontal Distribution.
With the information now available it seems possible to add a few notes about the horizontal distribution of the Atlantidae. It seemed advisable to me to reject such notes, distributed in literature, which are not sufficiently verified, and for that reason I feel justified in mentioning only the following authors:
Souleyet (» Bonite’’).
Smith (»Challenger’),
Oberwimmer (» Pola’).
Vayssiére (»Hirondelle’” and » Princesse Alice’’).
Tesch (»Siboga’’ and collection Leyden Museum).

In the future most species, if not all, will prove to be cosmopolitical, I think. The Atlantidae, as all other Hetero- poda, are inhabitants of tropical and subtropical regions, and never any species has been recorded from boreal or notal waters, and indeed will die very soon, if occasionally carried away by currents into high latitudes.

COSMEMA AUROPUNCTATA. a
NOTE II.
TWO NEW COSMEMA-SPECIES (Cicindelidae: Coleoptera)
OF THE AUROPUNCTATA-GROUP, FROM ANGOLA
BY
Dr. WALTHER HORN.
I got some specimens of Cosmema auropunctata Qued. from my friend Dr. Cr. Wellman, who captured them in Angola (Chiyaka district: XI, 1907). The material enables me to give some additional notes to the author’s description. The »rib« of the elytra is a narrow smooth stripe, just a little elevated in the middle of its breadth. The margin of the elytra, outwards from the white longitudinal line, is glossy blackish, almost polished, sparingly and finely punctured ; the disk is dull brownish with greenish rougher sculpture: about as densely but less deeply punctured as in C. Gruti Chd. The oo have narrower elytra than the QO, their tips tapering (in the Q narrowly rounded) without spine. Underside bald, blue-blackish, base of femora not testaceous. Whole sternum with episterna and epimera finely wrinkled, the two apical joints of palpi maxillares testaceous, labrum of (| 7? of the length of that of 9, transverse, the middle part (a little more than } of the breadth) slightly produced, without tooth.
The following two new species are closely allied.
Cosmema Wellmani, nov. spec.
Differt a C. auropunctata statura minore; labro perparum longiore; elytris brevioribus, antice eodem modo atque postice (fortiter) angustatis, ut medium magis dilatatum
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.

videatur; dorso paullo densius, parte polita marginali Vix sparsius neque subtilius quam disco (grossius quam in illa specie) punctatis; stria alba marginali nulla, macula rotundata (aut perparum elongata) alba paullo post medium, altera minore elongata (margini magis approximata) ante apicem positis; toto pectore cyaneo-viridi-aenescente; apice © conjunctim paullo minus acuminato; © parte (interdum paullo minus) nitida laterali elytrorum saepe densius quam 9 punctata, apice singulo longe oblique, intus truncato, spina nulla. — Long. 7;—10 mm.
© o. A Dr. Cr. Wellman cum praecedente lecta.
In a few specimens there are some traces of a rudimentary 20d »rib«, between the 1st rib and the anterior white spot.
Cosmema marginepunctata, nov. spec.
C. Wellmani simillima; elytris vix longioribus; 9 postice singulis non rotundatis, angulo suturali acuto, dorso fere ut in C. auropunctata punctato, parte marginali perparum nitente (non subtilius quam dorso sculpta: ante maculam anticam semper elongatam et paullo ante medium positam non sparsius, post eam usque ad apicem densius quam disco punctata); © apice singulo ut in C. auwropunctata formato sculptura disci variabili, parte marginali opaca aut yix nitente semper dense nec subtilius quam disco punctata ; © labro et pectoris colore ut in C. awropunctata Q, o longi- ore quam C. auropunctata sed breviore quam C. Wellmani (margine antico medio minus producto quam in utraque); pectore variabiliter colorato. — Long. 9—11 mm.
Oo. A Dr. Cr. Wellman cum praecedentibus lecta,
The margin of the elytra is in some specimens dull bluish, in others of the coloration of the disk. Very seldom the 2 white marginal spots get confluent. The smooth stripe (>rib«) of the elytra shows sometimes no trace of elevation.

NOTES ON THE PENTATOMIDAE (Hemiptera Heteroptera)
DESCRIBED BY D®. SNELLEN VAN VOLLENHOVEN
BY
Dr. H. SCHOUTEDEN.
During a short stay made last year in Leyden, I was enabled, through the courtesy of Mr. Ritsema, to examine the types of the Pentatomidae in the Leyden Museum, described by the late Snellen van Vollenhoven. Various doubtful species were thus identified and observations of previous authors controlled on the types. So a large part of the identifications hereafter quoted, were already made by C. Stal, who received from van Vollenhoven a number of his types for examination.
I thought it would be useful for hemipterists to have for the van Vollenhoven’s species a revision like the one Mr. Distant is publishing on Walker’s types in the British Museum. Curiously enough, a number of the species described in the year 1867 [published 1868?')] by the dutch entomologist, were described at the same time by Walker in the British Museum’s Catalogue: I think it very probable that the names given by Walker take priority, though I could not ascertain it.
As to the enumeration of the species I thought it better to place them in the order in which they are found in van Vollenhoven’s works; these latter are placed chronologically.

from a separate copy that van Vollenhoven’s paper was
issued in 1867, and Westwoodii takes thus priority. 53, Callidea latefasciata Voll.: p. 175.
Identical with Philia balteata Walk. The description given by Walker was also issued in 1867, but has probably priority.

Identical with Hetenus pudicus Stal 1865. Mr. Distant kindly compared a specimen | possess from New-Guinea with the type of Spudaeus lignarius Walk. which was found to be identical. The name given by Walker (1867) must thus be placed as a synonym of Lctenus pudicus.
68. Gynenica dalpadoides Voll.: p. 178.
This species hitherto remained quite unrecognized. I found it was nothing else than Platynopus tagalicus Stal 1870, thus an Asopine! The species must take the name Pl. dalpadovdes.

In behalf of this species the genus Vecelia Stal has been erected.
73. Diceraeus sellula Voll.: p. 179.
An other enigmatic species, labelled in the collection as Elaphocera sellula. 1 found it was a Prionocompastes, probably identical with one of the javanese species described by Breddin, Pr. salebrosus or Pr. vicarians ; but as the descriptions were uot at hand at the time, I could not ascertain it; this I shall later do. I think it more probable, however, it is the Pr. vicarians of Breddin, which should thus come in synonymy.
74. Diceraeus euschistoides Voll.: p. 180.
This species was stated by Stal to be identical with Euschistus fissilis Uhler 1871. The name given by van Vollen- hoven takes thus priority and the species must he named F. euschistoides, not FE. jissilis as adopted in the Catalogues.

ON SOME LYRAMORPIIA-SPECIES. 47
NOTE IV.
OBSERVATIONS ON SOME SPECIES OF THE GENUS LYRAMORPHA WESTW.,
(Hemiptera Heteroptera) BY
Dr. H. SCHOUTEDEN.
(With 2 figures).
1. Lyramorpha pallida Westwood and L. rosea Westwood.
In -his »Catalogue of Hemiptera in the Collection of the Rev. W. F. Hope’, part I, London 1837, Westwood founded the genus Lyramorpha, with two species, L. rosea and J. pallida, both from New Holland.
The descriptions of these species are as follows:
LI. rosea Hope [= Westwood]. — Supra cum pedibus et antennis rosea, marginibus thoracis et hemelytrorum eneis, thoracis margine antico pallido; corpore subtus virescenti luteo. — Long. Corp. Lin. 11.
L. pallida Hope [= Westwood]. — Griseo lutescens, thorace et hemelytrorum corio interdum virescenti tincto margine tenui roseo, hujus apicibus puncto sublaterali albo; corpore subtus cum pedibus et antennis pallidis, — Long. Corp. Lin. 10!/,.
From the diagnosis of the genus is to be seen that the antenne are four-jointed.
These specific descriptions, although very concise, appear to represent two distinct species. Now, in the » Enumeratio Hemipterorum”, part I, published in 1870, Stal mentions L. pallida only as a synonym of ZL, rosea; it does not

appear, however, that he has seen the types, nor does he mention the species as present in the Stockholm Museum or in Signoret’s collection.
From this time this synonymy was thoroughly admitted, so in the Lethierry and Severin Catalogue.
In 1900 Distant examined the types of Westwood’s des- criptions in the Hope Catalogue and enumerated the species in their proper systematic position. We find in his list L. pallida indicated, as Stal did, as a synonym of LL. rosea ').
In 1900 Horvath published a valuable monograph of the genus Lyramorpha”), and as he did not see the types of Westwood, he admitted also the synonymy given by Stal and by Distant. Thus he describes only one species with four-jointed antenne, viz. LZ. rosea, with L. pallida quoted as a synonym.
Looking through, last year, the Pentatomide in the collection of the Leyden Museum, I found there, to my great surprise, a specimen of both L. rosea and L. pallida, marked by the late Snellen van Vollenhoven, as having been received from Westwood himself.
At first sight the species looked different, and as the specimens were, fortunately enough, both of the male sex, an examination of the genital segment proved they were quite distinct!
The specimens in the Leyden Museum agree very good with the descriptions reproduced here above, and I consider them to be types, or, if preferred so, cotypes of Westwood.
The antennz of both specimens are partially broken off, but they were certainly, as expressly mentioned by Westwood, four-jointed. Thus there are two species to be included in the genus Lyramorpha s. str., which can

easily be separated by the following characters, noted by me in Leyden:
LL. rosea: Limbo costali corii olivaceo (»eneo”’ teste West- wood). Corio apice extus concolore, haud pallido-maculato. Pronoto rugoso-punctato. Segmento genitali maris profunde inciso, incisura fundo plano, lateribus curvatis (fig. 1).
1. L. rosea Westw. 2. L. pallida Westw.
LL. pallida: Limbo costali corii roseo. Corio apice extus macula distinctissima pallida :ornato (semper?). Segmento genitali maris minus profunde inciso, incisura angulari (fig. 2).
These characters show sufficiently that the species must be treated as distinct. Horvath, when he wrote his mono- graph, had certainly before him JL. pallida only, as is shown by the figure of the © segment he reproduces, His ZL. rosea must thus be regarded as a synonym of L. pallida of Westwood. The true L. rosea Westw. was unknown to him.
The figures | add here, were kindly drawn for me after the Leyden-specimens by Dr. van der Weele. They clearly represent the striking difference of the apical segment in the co of both species.
2. Lyramorpha Vollenhovii Stal and Vollenhoven.
In his »EHssai d’une Faune entomologique de l’Archipel Indo-néerlandais’, third monograph, the Hague 1868, van Vollenhoven describes (pp. 35 and 36) and figures (PI. IV, fig. 3) a Lyramorpha, which he identifies with Stal’s L. Vollenhovii (Tijdschr. v. Entom. (2) II, p. 124 (1867)].
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX. 3 4
50 ON SOME LYRAMORPHA-SPECIES.
As habitat he gives: »Halmaheira septentrionalis, Morotai, Waigeou, Nova Guinea et Aru”.
At the end of the description, where he mentions the maculate character of the elytra, van Vollenhoven writes: »L’individu de la Nouvelle Guinée et celui d’Aru ne portent point de marques ni de taches sur les élytres”.
On the plate are given a coloured drawing of the insect (fig. 3) and figures of the ¢@ and Q genital segments (fig. 3, 3a co and 8 Q), but these latter belong to two quite different species.
Fig. 3a co evidently was made after the specimen repre- sented as fig. 3; figs.3 of and 30Q refer to another species.
In his Lyramorpha-monograph Horvath pointed out that only the last figures: 3 o and 3 Q belong to the true L. Vollenhovii Stal. Figs. 8 and 3a of are quoted by him under his new JL. ambigua, of which the only specimens the exact locality of which was known to him, came from the island Salawatti.
As IL. Vollenhovii is the only species with maculate corium, it is evident that figs. 3 and 3a of were made after the specimens alluded to from New Guinea and Aru.
These specimens are still in the Leyden Museum and I could examine them. Both are males and their genital segments are different.
The specimen from Aru has the genital segment much like that figured by Horvath for LZ. parens Bredd., more deeply emarginate than is the case in L. ambigua; the apical spines of the last abdominal segment agree also.
The specimen from New Guinea has the genital segment resembling Horvath’s drawing of L. ambigua; but the spines of the sixth seoment are acute, more produced and evidently surpassing the apex of the genital segment.
Neither of them quite agrees with van Vollenhoven’s figures, but I think it most probable that the represented specimen is the one from New Guinea, the differences being
within the limits of errors we frequently met with in the » Hssal«.
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
ON SOME LYRAMORPHA-SPECIES. yl
Notwithstanding the different development of the spines I think this specimen can be referred, as Horvath did with regard to the figures, to L. ambigua. I find not unfrequently that there is some variation in the length of these spines, even in Lyramorpha.
New Guinea (evidently the Dutch territory) can thus be added to the known habitats of LZ. ambigua Horv.

NOTE VIL. NOTIZEN UBER GERSTAECKER’S MYRMELEONIDEN
VON
Dr. H. W. VAN DER WEELE.
Herr Professor Dr. G. W. Miiller in Greifswald iiber- mittelte mir, vor ungefahr einem Jahre, die von weiland Professor Dr. A. Gerstaecker in den Mittheilungen des naturw. Ver. fiir Neu-Vorpommern und Riigen, Band XVI, XIX, XX und XXV beschriebenen Myrmeleoniden der Gattungen: Palpares, Acanthaclisis, Syngenes und Cymothales. Obschon ich dieselben bald danach verglichen habe, so konnte ich wegen der vielen Arbeit, welche in der ento- mologischen Abteilung unseres Museums notwendigerweise abgetan werden musste, vorlaufig nicht die Zeit zu einer Ver- Offentlichung des betreffenden sehr wertvollen Materiales finden. Zugleich bentitze ich diese Gelegenheit um noch einige Bemerkungen iiber andere Arten daran an zu kniipfen.
Obschon synonymische Notizen iiber einige der Gerstae- ckerschen Arten schon anderweitig ver6ffentlicht wurden, will ich dieselben der Vollstiindigkeit wegen hier noch einmal wiederholen.
Palpares praetor G. XXV, p. 111 (1893). — Die Typen sind: ein sehr grosses 2 von Quilliu, Gabun, ein kleineres 9 und dito <j aus Chinchoxo. Die Fliigel des grossen 9 sind verhaltnissmiéssig etwas breiter als bei den anderen Hxem- plaren, aber es ist nicht daran zu zweifeln, dass alle drei zu derselben Art gehdren. Sie bildet die westliche Form derin Natal und Ost-Afrika vorkommenden P. inclemens auct. nec Walker. Walker’s Beschreibung passt auf beide Arten und auch seine Typen gehdren zu beiden, wie ich 1906 in Londen selbst konstatiren konnte, weil das erste Exem-

plar, in seinem Kataloge mit a bezeichnet, das ohne Loca- litatsangabe ist, mit praetor vollkommen identisch ist, wihrend die Hxemplare welche b und ¢ bezeichnet sind und aus Port Natal stammen, zu der als inclemens bezeichneten Form gehoéren. Die ostafrikanische znclemens muss also in Zukunft einen anderen Namen haben.
Bekanntlich sind Myrmeleon cephalotes W1\k. und furfura- ceus Wlk., beide vom Congo, identisch mit seinem inclemens und mit praetor Gerst., aber auch Rambur’s P. latipennis vom Senegal ist nach der Beschreibung wohl nichts anderes als ein bleiches, nicht stark ausgefairbtes QO dieser Art, sodass wir foleende Synonymie aufstellen koénnen:
Palpares latipennis Rbr. — inclemens Wk. (part.) = cephalotes Wlk. = furfuraceus Wlk. — praetor Gerst. Vielleicht wurde die Art noch von einem der friiheren Autoren beschriében, aber es fehlt mir momentan die Litte- ratur, um diese Frage noch eingehender zu behandeln.
Palpares solidus G. XXV, p. 113 (1893). — Diese Art gehért zu den _ grossscheiteligen Palpares-Arten, von welchen der P. cephalotes Klug den Typus bildet. Die meisten Arten dieser Gruppe kommen in Ost-Afrika und Arabien vor, obschon auch einige in Indien und West- Afrika sich finden. Die Type ist ein 9 aus Mesopotamien, Mardin, von Dr. O. Staudinger erhalten; die Art ist deutlich von allen anderen dieser Gruppe zu unterscheiden.
Palpares festivus G. XXV, p. 115 (1893). — Gehort in die Gruppe, welche sich durch einfarbiges, dunkles K6rper- koloriet, ohne Langsstreifen und durch kurze Labialpalpen, welche wenig linger als die Maxillarpalpen sind, unter- scheidet. Diese Art erinneri stark an die dunklen Tomatares- Arten, vor allem an 7. spectrum (Rbr.), und ist auch zweifels- ohne nahe mit dieser Art verwandt. Vielleicht mitissen mit der Zeit in diese Gattung noch eine ganze Reihe anderer Palpares-Arten aufgenommen werden. Die, Type ist ein Q, dessen Abdomenspitze abgebrochen ist, von

Delagoabai, von EH. Heyne erhalten. Was den P. flavofasciatus Me Lachl., Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. IX, p. 242 (1869), anbetrifft, muss ich bemerken, dass festivus wohl nichts anderes als ein Synonym desselben sein kann. Ich sah 1903 die Type in Mac Lachlan’s Sammlung und yerglich sie mit Exem- plaren aus Nyassa und Zambesi meiner Sammlung’), die mit denselben iibereinstimmen. Dieselben Exemplare sind aber auch identisch mit G.’s festivus-Type. Nur ist die Zahl der lichten Querbiinder der Vorderfliigel ziemlich wechselnd, da bei festivus-Type nur die basale, bei meinen Exemplaren die basale und apicale, und bei der flavofasciatus-Type drei Querbainder entwickelt sind.
Palpares digitatus G. XXYV, p. 117 (1893). — Gehért zu derselben Gruppe wie die vorige Art und sieht ihr sehr ahnlich; sie ist von derselben verschieden durch die relativ langeren, schmaleren Fliigel, deren Zeichnung nach demselben Prinzip gebildet, aber viel blasser ist und eine viel geringere Ausdeh- nung besitzt. Doch bildet sie nicht die westliche Form derselben, weil sie mir auch in einer etwas abweichenden Form aus Ost-Afrika bekannt ist. Der Palpares voeltzkowi Kolbe aus Madagascar ist ihre Inselform. Die Type ist ein Q von der Goldkiiste, ex coll. Dr. O. Staudinger.
Palpares aegrotus G. XIX, p. 98 (1888). — Gehért zu derselben Gruppe wie P. tigris (Dalm.) = manicatus Rbr. und ist, obschon sehr &hnlich, deutlich von ihr verschieden, u. a. durch ihre kleineren und relativ viel breiteren Fligel und das viel dunklere Kolorit des Abdomens., Das < ist noch unbekannt und deswegen ist die Verwandt- schaft der Art noch nicht ganz klar. Die Type ist ein Q aus Angola, Malange, von Michow.
Palpares obsoletus G. XIX, p. 95 (1888). — Diese aus dem Congogebiete stammende Art gehdrt ebenfalls in die Nahe von aegrotus G. und tigris (Dalm.). Von letzterer ist sie

nur wenig verschieden und ist vielleicht nur eine Sub- species derselben. Weil aber das <j’ noch immer unbekannt geblieben ist, lisst sich dieses nur vermuten. Die Typen, zwel QO yon Stanley Pool, ex coll. Dr. O. Staudinger, sind vollkommen gleichartig.
Acanthaclisis rufescens G. XVI, p. 10 (1884). — Diese Art is nach der Type wohl nichts anderes als die unter so vielen Namen bekannt gemachte A. distincta Rbr. Ich habe die Synonymie, so weit ich sie aufstellen konnte, in dem Bull. scient. France et Belgique, XLI, p. 264 (1907) angegeben. Die Type ist ein QO, dessen Abdomen fehlt; es ist bezeichnet: Mungo, Mai 1874, Buchholz.
Acanthaclisis felina G. XXV, p. 118 (1893). — Die Type, ein © aus Lindi, Ost-Afrika, ex coll. Dr. O. Staudinger, ist ein grosses Stiick der distincta Rbr. und muss ebenfalls als ein Synonym zu dieser Art gezogen werden.
Acanthaclisis dasymalla G. Stett. ent, Zeit. XXIV, p. 174 (1863), ist nach.einem Q aus Lindi, ex coll. Staudinger, (cfr. G. XXV, p. 118, 1893) eine mit distincta verwandte, aber deutlich verschiedene Art.
Acanthaclisis conspurcata G. XVI, p. 88 (1885). — Diese australische Art ist vollkommen identisch mit Exemplaren der sehr variabelen A. fundata (Wlk.). Die Farbe des Abdomens kann ganz schwarz sein, oder, je nach der Erhaltung, lichtere gelbe Lingsflecken aufweisen. Auch die Farbung der Beine und Fltigel ist sehr variabel. Hs kommen Exemplare mit braun gefleckten Vorderiltigeln vor. Die Typen sind aus Bowen und Rockhampton, beide vom Godeffroy Museum in Hamburg gekauft. Das Exemplar aus Rockhampton hat gefleckte Vorderfliigel. Ich besitze in meiner Sammlung eine neue australische Art, welche mit dieser verwandt ist und die ich von Mac Lachlan als conspurcata G. erhielt. Sie wird bei einer anderen Gelegen- heit beschrieben werden.

GERSTAECKER’S MYRMELEONIDEN. 61
Acanthaclisis inquinata G. XVI, p. 11 (1884). — Die Type ist ein © vom Congo, ex. coll. Dr. O. Staudinger, das sehr dunkel gefirbt ist, und ausser der discalen dunklen Schriglinie noch einige gréssere, dunkle Langs- flecken, dem Hinterrande parallel verlaufend, in den Vorder- fliigeln aufweist. Sie gehért zu der folgenden Art.
Acanthaclisis? debilis G. XIX, p. 100 (1888). — Die Typen sind 2 oo aus Lagos, Kricheldorff, und wurden von G. als unsicher zu Acanthaclisis gehbrend, beschrieben. Die Exemplare sind vdéllig identisch mit 4. longicornis Rambur, welche durch ganz Afrika verbreitet ist und von welcher Art ich spater in Briissel die Type untersucht habe [cfr. Bull. scient. France Belg. XLI, p. 266 (1907)]. Kolbe (Deutsch Ost-Afrika, IV, Neur. pp. 15 und 16, 1897) bringt sie in seine Gattung Syngenes. Die vollstindige Synonymie ist also:
A. longicornis Rbr. = longicornis var. Wlk. = inquinata
G. Q = debilis G. oy.
Cymothales, XXV, p. 127 (1893). — Diese Gattung ist eine sehr natiirliche und die hierzu gebrachten Arten gehdren zu den schdnsten Myrmeleoniden. G. hat zwei Arten beschrieben, die beide sehr gut kenntlich sind.
C. mirabilis G. XXV, p. 128 (1893). — Die Type ist ein © aus Kamerun, ex. coll. Staudinger. Ich sah mehrere Kixemplare vom Congo und West-Afrika. Die von mir beschriebene C. bouvieri, Bull. scient. France Belg. XLI, p. 267, pl. IX, f. 10 (1907), ist die insulire Form dieser Art, welche bis jetzt noch nicht aus Ost-Afrika bekannt wurde.
C. dulcis G. XXV, p. 130 (1898) ist ebenso wie die vorige eine gute Art; die Type ist ein © aus Lindi, Ost-Afrika, ex coll. Dr. O. Staudinger. Sie ist verwandt mit C. speciosus Kolbe.
In derselben Sammlung ist auch noch ein unbestimmtes Exemplar des Myrmeleon insignis Rambur, Névropt. p. 388,

pl. 11, fig. 2 (1842). Es stimmt genau mit der Beschreibung und Figur der Type tiberein und es unterliegt keinem Zweifel, dass hier wohl dieselbe Art vorliegt. Das Exemplar stammt aus Brasilien, Bahia, ex coll. H. Fruhstorfer, sodass hiermit die Localitit der Art bekannt geworden ist. G. hat Rambur’s Art als fraglich in seine australische Gattung Hpisalus untergebracht, XVI, p. 19 (1884), er hat das betreffende Exemplar dazumal sicher nicht gekannt, weil es durch die schlanken, langen Beine mit langen, geraden Schienspornen mehr an die Gattung Cymothales erinnert. Sehr wahrscheinlich muss ftir diese Art eine neue Gattung errichtet werden.

Ein Teil der Ameisen zieht die Rander der auseinandergerissenen Blatter des Gespinnstnestes mit ihren Beinen und Mandibeln wieder zusammen, worauf andere Arbeiterinnen mit je einer Larve im Maule erschei- nen und die Blatter durch die aus dem Munde der Larve tretenden Gespinnstfaden wieder verbinden. Nach Dr. E. Géldi’s Beobachtungen in Para ') verfertigt der amerikanische Camponotus senexr Sm. seine Gespinnstnester auf dieselbe Weise mittelst der Larven. Karawaiew ”) untersuchte 1906 die Spinndrtisen der Larven von Polyrhachis Miillert auf Java und dusserte die Vermutung, dass auch sie mittelst ihrer Larven Gespinnstnester verfertige.
Im Juli 1907 sandte mir Herr Edw. Jacobson das auf einem Palmenblatte angelegte Gespinnstnest einer Poly- rhachis aus Batavia zu, sammt den Ameisen, die ich als Polyrhachis bicolor Sm. bestimmte. Die Beobachtungen, die Herr Jacobson in seinem Briefe beifiigte, gebe ich hier mit nur wenigen Kiirzungen wieder:
»Hs scheint, dass die Zunft der Weber unter den tro- pischen Ameisen zahlreiche Mitglieder zahlt. Um so mehr muss es Wunder nehmen, dass die Beobachtungen tiber spinnende Ameisen erst aus den letzten 17 Jahren stammen. Als Arten, welche die Webekunst ausiiben, sind bis jetzt bekannt: O¢cophylla smaragdina, O. virescens, O. longi- noda *), Camponotus senex, Polyrhachis dives. Ich kann Thnen schon wieder eine interessante Mitteilung machen tiber Ameisen, welche mittels ihrer Larven spinnen, wie ich selbst beobachtet habe, und von welchen ich Ihnen das Material heute zuschicke.
»ich fand das Nest in meinem Garten bei Batavia (17. Juli 1907). Die Ameise selbst (Polyrhachis bicolor) habe

ich schon frtiher in Semarang angetroffen, doch ein Nest war mir noch nicht vorgekommen.
, Dieses Nest (vol. Fig. 1) war dadurch gebildet, dass bei einem gefiederten Palmenblatt einer der langen schmalen Blatteile auf eine Lange von c# 25 cm. nach unten um- gebogen und mit einem sehr diinnen, durchsichtigen Ge- Spinnst zugesponnen war. Das Blatt bildete also eine (nach unten offene) Rinne, wovon der offene Teil mit einem straff gespannten Gespinnst geschlossen war. Das Nest bildete nur einen Raum und hatte auch nur einen Kingang, welches am einen Ende nahe der Basis des Blattes (d. h. der betreffenden Blattfieder) sich befand (bei x). Deutlich konnte ich wahrnehmen, wie die Arbeiterinnen mit den Larven zwischen den Kiefern in der bekannten Weise an dem Gewebe hin und herfuhren.
»Diese Ameise ist. gar nicht kampflustig. Selbst wenn man sie ergreift, macht sie gar keinen Versuch, sich mit ihren Kiefern zu wehren. Diese Art kommt mir trage vor.
Bei der Untersuchung des Nestes stellte sich heraus, dass dasselbe 1 gefliigeltes Weibchen, 25 Mannchen und 24 Arbeiterinnen, eine Anzahl Puppen und ferner Larven in allen Altersstufen enthielt '). Die Zahl der zur Kolonie gehorigen Arbeiterinnen muss nattirlich grésser gewesen sein, da ein ‘T'eil derselben abwesend war, als das Nest weegeholt wurde. Hinige der Arbeiterinnen sind etwas klei- ner, aber es finden sich viel geringere Gréssenunterschiede vor als bei Oecophylla smaragdina. Die Puppen sind in einem weissen Cocon eingesponnen. Ich schicke Ihnen die ganze Gesellschaft zu, nebst dem Nest und einem Flaschchen mit Larven und Cocons.
Vas Nest habe ich mittelst Bambusstabchen ausge- spannt, da das Blatt sich sonst zusammenrollt. Die Nest- 6ffnung befindet sich am unteren Ende. Als ich Naphthalin auf das Nest streute, um die Bewohner herauszutreiben,

rissen sie auch an anderen Stellen Locher in das zarte Gewebe, um schneller entfliehen zu koénnen. Auf demselben Blatt, nach der Spitze zu, befand sich auch ein Gespinnst mit der Puppe eines Schmetterlings.”
Auf der Abbildung (Fig. 1) sieht man das Nest in oben und unten ausgespannter Stellung, um das 4usserst feine Gespinnst sichtbar zu machen, das die zusammengebogene Blattfieder auf eine Lange von c® 25 cm. ausfiillte. Das Gespinnst gleicht einem Ausserst feinen Spinngewebe und enthalt keine gréberen Beimengungen, weshalb es auf der Abbildung nur durch seine obere und untere Grenze ange- geben ist; der Hingang befand sich bei x.
ANHANG.
Beschreibung des Gespinnstnestes von Polyrhachis laboriosa Sm.
Das Nest wurde von Herrn EH. Luja bei Sankuru am unteren Congo 1904 gefunden und befindet sich im Naturhist. Museum von Luxemburg, dessen Conservator, Herr V. Ferrant, es mir zur Beschreibung tibergab. Die photographische Abbildung desselben siehe Fig. 2.
Das Nest misst 16 cm. Linge, 8 cm. Breite und 4,8—5 cm. Dicke, besteht aus drei zusammengebogenen Blattern und ist aus einem dichten Gespinnst gebildet, das die Blatter grossenteils bis auf die Stiele tberzieht und sie ringsum zusammenhdlt, In das dussere Gespinnst sind zahlreiche dtiinne Holzfasern und teilweise auch Holzmulm verwebt. Am oberen und unteren Ende finden sich mehrere Locher, die als Hingange in das zwischen den Blattern befindliche Nestinnere dienen. Die grésste Dicke zeigt die Gespinnstschicht auf der Oberseite des Nestes, welche auf der Photographie (Fig. 2) mit drei daraufsitzenden Arbeite- rinnen von Polyrhachis laboriosa(a) wiedergegeben ist.
Die Farbe des mit den Fasern und den feinen Mulm- partikelchen vermengten Gewebes ist in Folge der letzteren Beimengungen gelblichgrau. Unter der Lupe zeigt sich, dass
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
POLYRHACHIS LABORIOSA. 67
die Gespinnstfiden, welche das eigentliche Geriist jenes Gewebes bilden, sehr fein, rein weiss, zahlreich sich durchkreuzend sind, ohne Beimengung einer Kittsubstanz. Daher bildet das Nest trotz jener fremden Beimengungen zum Gewebe ein wirkliches Ge- spinnstnest, kein Cartonnest. Hs fiihlt sich auch an den mit Mulm und Holzfasern durchsetzten Partien so weich an wie Watte, wihrend die Cartonnester durch Er- hartung des Driisenkitts eine papierailnliche, hartere Ober- flache besitzen. Nur an dem unteren und oberen Ende des Nestes zeigen sich die Auslaufer des Gewebes auf der Blattflaiche festeeklebt.
Dagegen hat Prof. G. Mayr‘) ein Nest von Polyrhachis laboriosa aus Kamerun (Sjéstedt!) beschrieben, welches ein echtes Cartonnest zu sein scheint: ,,Die braune Oberfliche des Nestes hat fast das Aussehen wie verrotteter Rinder- mist und besteht aus gréberen und feineren, kreuz und quer verlaufenden langen Pflanzenfasern, welche mit einer leimartigen Kittsubstanz aneinandergekittet sind’’ (S. 255).
Ks scheint sonach, dass Polyrhachis laboriosa je nach den Umstiainden Gespinnst- oder Cartonnester verfertigt. Oder sollte vielleicht das von Mayr beschriebene Nest auch ein Gespinnstnest gewesen sein?

Je rapporte au Lastodactylus maculosus Olliff (Notes Leyden Museum, VI, 1884, p. 74) sous le nom de variété L. nitidus Grouv., un nombre relativement considérable de Lasiodactyles provenant de Sumatra: Pajakombo. Ces insectes présentent la forme allongée du ZL. maculosus, la disposition des taches des élytres, etc., mais ils ont la ponctuation du prothorax plus serrée sur le disque. Chez le LZ. maculosus (ex. type du Musée de Leide) la ponctuation du prothorax devant |’écusson laisse entre les points des intervalles plus grands que les points, tandis que chez le L. nitidus cette ponctuation est uniformément trés serrée.
L’exemplaire type du Z. maculosus Olliff, qui m’a été obligeamment communiqué par Mr. C. Ritsema, n’est pas opaque comme l’indique la description d’Olliff; il serait brillant s’il était dégagé de l’enduit gommeux qui couvre si souvent les insectes du méme genre. De plus, les taches des élytres ne sont pas symétriques, fait qui se produit bien souvent chez les Lasiodactyles.
Les tibias intermédiaires du male sont arqués, élargis a Vextrémité.

FROM THE ISLAND OF MEFOOR
BY
Dr. E. D. VAN OORT.
In 1870 our traveller von Rosenberg sent to the Leyden Museum under the name of Lamprotornis magnus nov. spec. a fine series of skins of a new bird, collected by him in the year 1869 on the island of Mefoor (Noemfoor) and on the island of Soepiori (named by him Soék) of the Schouten- islands. The series consisted of seven specimens collected in January and February on Mefoor and eleven specimens collected in March on Soepiori.
In 1871 Schlegel!) described the bird under the name given by von Rosenberg and stated that this new species was killed on Soék only. The habitat of the typical WU. magnus is consequently Soepiori, notwithstanding von Rosen- berg collected his first specimen, in which he was right to see a new species, on Mefoor.
We still possess only three specimens from Mefoor, the others seem to have been exchanged. These three specimens have a much shorter tail and also shorter wings than those from Soepiori. The same is the case with the two specimens from Mefoor, mentioned by Salvadori”), and as the seven

specimens from that island in the Tring-Museum '), which most kindly have been placed at my disposal by the director, show as to the tail the same peculiarity, it seems, that the bird from Mefoor, is constantly differing by its shorter tail from that from the Schouten-islands, and I therefore sepa- rate that form under the name of
Macruropsar magnus brevicauda.

There are in our collection also two specimens, which, in their measurements, agree with M. m. brevicauda and which are labelled, the one »Arfak, New Guinea”, the other one only »New Guinea’; both are purchased from G. A. Frank in 1879. If these localities are correct, then the bird of the mainland of New Guinea belongs to the shorttailed form.
These two specimens are unsexed and measure:

Je propose d’attribuer & Vespéce de Madére le nom ad’ Lxzodes nigricans.

ment a la méme espéce que ceux du Lualaba; ils en ont tous les caractéres essentiels, ceux qui ne sont pas ou sont a peine modifiés par l’age. Mais ils sont plus jeunes, de taille variée et ne présentent pas le débordement latéral de l’abdomen ni les trois prolongements postérieurs, qui sont évidemment un effet de la réplétion. Il me parait donc utile de revenir sur la description de cette espéce et de compléter, en ce qui la concerne, les tableaux dichoto- miques. D’autre part, les 9 QQ qui, dans ce lot, accom- pagnaient les 10 G appartiennent bien a la méme espéce, comme le prouvent surtout les deux dépressions angulaires comprises entre les sillons cervicaux et les sillons latéraux de l’écusson dorsal; celui-ci représente bien la partie anteé- rieure correspondante de |’écusson du ©. La connaissance de l’espéce se trouve ainsi complétée. i

Dans mes »Notes sur les Ixodidés, VI’, j’ai décrit cette espéce d’aprés un male et deux femelles, appartenant au British Museum et recueillis a Bukitima (Singapore).
Un caractére trés distinctif de la femelle consiste en » une saillie lisse (sorte d’écusson supplémentaire), ovoide, allongée transversalement, partagée en deux moitiés par une sorte de suture médiane, suivie d’un sillon qui va jusqu’au feston médian’’; cette saillie est située a peu de distance en arriére de l’angle postérieur de |’écusson dorsal.
C’est ainsi que ce caractére se présentait dans les deux femelles qui ont servi a la description et qui étaient encore jeunes (8—9mm., rostre compris). Une autre femelle, recueillie (avec un male) sur une Tortue, par M. le Dr. H. E. Durham, dans la Péninsule malaise et communiquée par M. le pro- fesseur Nuttall (de Cambridge), mesure 12mm. de longueur (rostre non compris) sur 10™™. de largeur. Ici l’écusson supplémentaire, par suite de la dilatation du notagastre, sest éloigné beaucoup de langle postérieur de l’écusson dorsal, dont il est séparé par une surface simplement striée, presque glabre, longue de 2mm.5, large de 1™™.5 et irréguliérement quadrangulaire. |

Station 303. Haingsisi, Samau-island. Depth up to 36M. Station 310. Lat. 8°30’S., long. 119°7'.5 K. Depth 73 M.
This variety differs from the typical species inhabiting the Laceadive Archipelago by the dactyli of the three pos- terior legs that are armed, at about the distal fourth of their posterior margin, with a small accessory claw, whereas their anterior margin, a little farther distant from the extremity, carries a small tooth or spine, lying contiguous to that margin and at the base of which a few setae are inserted. Upper margin of meropodite of larger chelipede with 4 or 5, inner margin with 8 or 9 movable spinules; larger chela in adult specimens slightly broader (higher) than in the typical form. Fourth joint of carpus of 2nd legs distinctly shorter than the 2=¢ and in a less degree also than the 5th. Propodites of 3td and 4th legs 11/,—11/, times as long as the carpopodites.
Length 15 mm.

Closely related to the typical species and perhaps not different at all.
Second joint of antennular peduncle one and a half as long as the visible part of the 1st and 2?/,-times as long as the 3rd, stylocerite reaching to the end of 1st joint; carpocerite just as long as antennular peduncle, scaphocerite also as long as the latter or hardly longer. Inner margin of meropodite of larger chelipede with 4—6 small spinules;
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.

larger chela in adult individuals broader (or higher) than in the typical species, the proportion between length and breadth being in the adult male 2,58, in the adult female 2,76, in the typical species, however, 3,33.
Propodites of 34 legs, in adult individuals, but one fourth longer than the carpopodites; dactyli without acces- sory claw on the posterior margin, but with a tooth on the anterior, lying close to it, as in the var. laetabilis, which tooth probably also occurs in the typical species, as it may easily be overlooked.
Length 19 mm.

Carpo- cerite longer than the antennular peduncle, stout; spine of basicerite almost as long as 1st joint of the antennular peduncle.
Larger chela almost 3-times as long as high, fingers two fifths of the palm, lower border entire, rounded, upper border with a longitudinal groove, bounded by two ridges.
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
ALPHEUS FACETUS. 101
Smaller chela 5-times as long as high, fingers just as long as the palm, which is nearly cylindrical, smooth and entire.
Carpus of 24 legs with the 20d joint half as long as the 1st, the 5th slightly longer than the 254, Meropodite of 3rd legs unarmed, 5-times as long as broad, carpus half as long; propodite 1,6-times as long as the carpus, dac- tylus hardly one third of the propodite, with no accessory claw on the posterior border, but with a minute tooth at the distal third of the anterior, contiguous to it.
Length 18 mm,

half as long as broad, inner margin with acute tooth near the far end; chela a little less high in proportion to its length, but for the rest as in A. bucephalus. Meropodite of larger chelipede of female twice as long as broad, chela considerably smaller than in the male, little more than half as long.
Chela of smaller helipad’. of the male resembling that of A. clypeatus, fingers slightly longer than the palm; dactylus much broadened, half as broad as long, fringed with hairs along its inner (upper) edge. Inner (upper) surface of the chela hairy, 3-times as long as broad.
Chela of smaller chelipede of the female similar to that of A. bucephalus, the palm being in proportion to the fingers as 13: 10.
Carpus of 2d legs as in A. bucephalus, 2nd come in the male almost 3-times, in the female somewhat more than twice as long as the Ist, 5th joint in the male slightly longer than the 1st, in the female both of equal length.
Legs of 3r¢ and 4th pairs as in 4. bucephalus.
Length of male 14,5 mm., of adult female 15,5 mm.
5. Alpheus bicostatus, n. sp. Station 37, Sailus Ketjil, Paternoster-islands, Depth 27 M. and less. Station 99. Lat. 6°7°.5 N., long. 120°26° EH, Ancho- rage off North-Ubian. Depth 16—23 M. Station 205. Buton-strait, between floating seaweed.
A new species of the group ,,insignis’’ Cout., closely related to A. bidens (Oliv.) and A. cristatus Cout.
Rostrum acute, reaching about to the end of 1st joint of antennular peduncle, rostral carina subacute or obtuse, little prominent, without the teeth characteristic of A. cristatus, but with a very small tubercle immediately behind the base of the orbits, as in A. bidens. Midway between this tubercle and the frontal margin, at either side, a thin lamellar crest with rather sharp edge passes from the rostral carina
Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
ALPHEUS BICOSTATUS. 103
obliquely backward, about to the level of the small, median tubercle. Orbits prominent, as in A. bidens, grooves between the orbits and the rostral carina broad, moderately deep. Frontal margin at either side, close to the orbits, with a slender spine as in A. cristatus, these spines about one third the length of the rostrum proper.
Carapace with an acute, well-developed, though small, pterygostomian spine.
Antennal and antennular peduncles and thoracic legs similar to those of A. bidens, but the dactylus of the smaller chelipede of the male, which also presents the Balaeniceps-shape, appears broader in proportion to its length and more flattened, whereas the palm presents no trace of a transverse groove.
Length of male 18,5 mm., of female 20,5 mm.
6. Alpheus praedator, n. sp. Station 181 or 231. Ambon. Reef-exploration.

Larger chela as in A. bidens, but the groove on the upper border near the dactylus is continued on the outer (lower) surface of the palm until near the lower border and from the middle of this groove a broad, though shal- low depression extends almost to the middle of the outer surface of the palm; as the fingers, that measure two fifths of the length of the chela, are still more turned outward than the palm, the upper border of the dactylus is almost situated inferiorly. Lower border of the immobile finger grooved longitudinally. |
Legs of 34 and 4th pair of a stouter shape than those of A. bidens, but for the rest resembling them. So e. g. are the meropodites of the 3rd legs, armed with a strong, acute tooth, 4-times as long as broad in the middle and the propodites 4'/,-times as long as broad.
One specimen, perhaps a young female, 14mm. long.

ETUDE SUR LES COLOBICUS VRAIS DE L’EUROPE, DE L*ASIE ET DE L’AUSTRALIE
PAR
A. GROUVELLE.
Les Colobicus (Latr. Gen. Crust. et Ins. I], 1807, p. 9) se partagent en deux groupes (Pasc. 1863, Journ. of Ent. II, p. 128) caractérisés par la longueur relative du troisiéme article des antennes; dans le premier, qui constitue les Colobicus vrais, cet article est environ aussi long que les quatre suivants réunis, tandis que chez les insectes du second il est notablement plus court.
Dans cette courte étude nous ne nous occuperons que des Colobicus du premier groupe, provenant de l’ancien monde a l’exclusion de l’Afrique.
Les Colobicus du second groupe sont peu nombreux, au moins jusqu’a ce jour (rugosulus Pasc., limbatus Pasc. et granulosus Sharp); de plus ils semblent beaucoup plus rares que ceux du premier, Les quelques échantillons exa- minés me font penser qu’ils devront étre écartés des Colo- bicus Latr. et rapprochés du genre Namuraria Reitt.
Colobicus parilis.
Pasc. 1860, Journ. of Ent. I, p. 102. conformis Pasc. 18638, Journ. of Ent. II, p. 124.
L’examen des types des C. parilis et conformis Pasce., conservés dans la collection du British Museum, a conduit a réunir ces deux espéces. Le C. parilis habite Inde, la Birmanie, l’Indo-Chine et toutes les Iles Malaises. C’est Vespéce qui se trouve le plus fréquemment.

Thorax trapu, largement tronqué antérieurement; ailes hyalines, les antérieures avec une tache trés nette, noire, a |’extré- mité de la cellule radiale. Abdomen avec le pétiole court, renflé en dessus, le renflement se faisant assez brusquement, mais sans repli, le bord apical droit, non canaliculé; grelot de abdomen un peu allongé, la bordure du 2e tergite canaliculée. — Long. 6—7 mill.

Cette espéce est trés voisine de 1’J, variegata Smith, dont elle copie la livrée, mais elle s’en dis- tingue de suite par la forme du pétiole abdominal dont le rebord apical n'est point canaliculé, la partie postérieure bien plus convexe et la base sans repli.
La nidification est trés différente. L’ Jca- ria variegata Sm. construit un gateau plus ou moins dis- ciforme, irrégulier,

dans un plan différent de celui des alvéoles. L’/. Jacobsoni place ses alvéoles deux par deux seulement, en série, de maniére que le gateau est linéaire, en forme de ruban quand il est trés grand. Le fond du premier alvéole porte le pédoncule qui se trouve ainsi dans le plan du gateau.
M. Paul Serre, vice-consul de France, a découvert cette espéce avec sa nidification aux environs de Batavia ‘en 1904 et 1905. M. Edward Jacobson |’a reprise a Java également, a Moeara Antjol, en décembre 1907 et février 1908. Les nouveaux matériaux recueillis par M. Jacobson m’ont permis de reconnaitre cette espéce d’une facon défi- nitive.
Le nid, dont la figure accompagne cette note, m’a été envoyé par M. Jacobson et ne doit pas étre 4 son complet développement. M. Serre m’en a récolté de beaucoup plus grands; un, entre autres, mesure 22 centimétres et con- tient 111 alvéoles, bien que |’extrémité soit brisée et perdue.
Chrysis Jacobsoni, n. sp.
Corps de taille médiocre, allongé, subparalléle, d’un beau vert-bleu avec une tache sur le vertex, deux sur le pro- notum, l’aire médiane du mésonotum, les écailles et le disque des trois tergites abdominaux, bleu foncé vif. Téte globuleuse, de la largeur du thorax, cavité faciale courte, large, terminée en haut par une caréne transversale bian- guleuse; joues nulles; antennes noiratres, les trois premiers articles verts, le 3e plus long que le 4e; pronotum rectan- gulaire, les angles antérieurs subaigus, les cdétés subparal- léles; ailes trés légérement enfumées avec une tache brune dans la cellule radiale; mésopleures normales; pattes con- colores, tarses noiratres, le ler article teinté de vert en dessus. Ponctuation de la téte et du thorax réticulée, assez grosse, ruguleuse. Abdomen allongé, a ponctuation réticulée, médiocre; 2e tergite caréné, les angles postérieurs arron- dis; 3e tergite caréné, arrondi, comprimé légérement sur les cotés; série antéapicale remplacée par une simple dépres-

CHALCOPSITTA SPECTABILIS. 127
NOTE XVII.
ON A NEW SPECIES OF CHALCOPSITTA FROM N. W. NEW GUINEA
by
Dr. E. D. VAN OORT.
This magnificent new species of the genus Chalcopsitia, which I describe here under the name of
Chalcopsitta spectabilis, nov. sp.
is nearly allied to Chalcopsitta insignis Oustalet; it differs however in many respects from this species and shows at the same time some relation to Chalcopsitta scintillatus (Temminck).
Forehead, lores and upper parts of the cheeks red; head and neck black; lower cheeks and throat black with a red tinge; elongated feathers of the hind neck and upper back purplish black with greenish yellow shaftstreaks; back and wings dark greenish brown, the smaller wing- coverts with dark edges, near the bend of the wing the feathers violet; rump bright blue; upper tailcoverts dark green; tailfeathers above olive-green with violet tips, underneath olive-yellow with red bases; breastfeathers dark violet with red bases and some of the lower ones with yellow shaftstreaks; abdomen and under tailcoverts dark green; tibiae red; feathers of the sides of the body red with green or violet apical parts; underwingcoverts

red, some feathers with violet extremity; quills underneath dusky, bases of innerwebs bright yellow with orange margins; bill black, legs blackish; wing 176, tail 122, culmen 21, tarso-met. 21 mm.
The bird is a male and collected by Laglaize 13 March 1876 at Mambrioe, N. W. New Guinea. It has been purchased from A. A. Bruyn in 1878.

CONTRIBUTION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE AVIFAUNA OF THE NETHERLANDS,
BEING A LIST OF ALL THE SPECIES OF BIRDS HITHERTO OBSERVED, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCES TO SPECIMENS IN THE LEYDEN MUSEUM

Dr. E. D. VAN OORT.
(With 2 plates).
Though the specimens in our general ornithological col- lection, for the greater part collected before and at the time that the late Professor H. Schlegel interested himself much in the knowledge of the birds of the Netherlands — that is before 1865 —, in addition with those of the fine collection of stuffed birds, brought together by the late Mr. J. P. van Wickevoort Crommelin, all captured in the Netherlands and received by the Museum in 1893, form for many of the species a scientific material, | however acquired the experience, when taking the care of the Birds-collection of our Museum in 1904, that many other species, even some of the commonest ones, were repre- sented in an insufficient manner, so that it was impossible to make a somewhat serious study with the aid of this material. Moreover all the specimens of the old collec- tion are stuffed, series of twenty and more examples of the same species. These stuffed birds are very unmana-

geable for comparative examination and many of them are spoiled because they were exposed during tens of years in bad cases, open to daylight, dust and mould. It isa matter of course, that in a museum must be a collection of well- stuffed specimens for the general public, but three or four specimens in different plumage or age of each species are in most cases more than sufficient; the rest of the material, being by far the largest part and the true scientific material, must be preserved as skins, not be exposed to the general public, but open only to students of ornithology.
A skin-collection of indigenous birds was absolutely wanting in our Museum and as completing and enlarging of our collection of native birds was very necessary, I entered in relation with collectors in different parts of our country and had till yet the satisfaction, that many speci- mens, and among them some very interesting ones, came in the Museum and that gradually the base of an up-to- date skin-collection of our native birds is formed.
Special thanks for more or less important donations are due to the following gentlemen: D. Bakker, Dr. J. F. van Bemmelen, EH. Blaauw, F. E. Blaauw, J. Boonstra, J. M. Bottemanne, HE. J. M. de Bruyn, Mr. J. J. Clotterbooke Patyn van Kloetinge, J. Daalder Dz., R. van Kecke, J. van Hssen, W. J. Heyligers, G. Kniphorst, Mr. H. Kuipers, H. Leyborne Popham, J. Molenaar, A. A. van Pelt Lechner, T. M. Pike, G. Polvliet, C. A. L. Smits van Burgst, Mr. R. Baron Snouckaert van Schauburg, G. 8, van der Spruyt, C. N. Tieleman, F. A. Verster van Wulverhorst, F. H. Verster, J. Wurfbain and Mr. R. Baron van Zuylen van Nievelt.
I hope these gentlemen will continue in bestowing our collection with interesting birds and also I hope that still many other ones will follow their example and will help to make our collection as good as possible and worthy to be the National Collection. |
Our present government fortunately is also watchful of the interests of science and of our Museum, but at the same time watchful of the interests of the birds of our

country; everyone will be thankful for the Royal warrant of July 18th 1908, by which an end was put to the horrible slaughter among the terns on our coast. We may hope, that the protection of our birds becomes continually more general, so that finally every bird is protected, at least during its breedingperiod.
In the following lines I have given a list of all the species of birds observed with certainty in the Netherlands. Special mention is made of the occurrence of rarer birds, also | have given some remarks on more common species, based however only upon the material in the collections of the Leyden Museum of Natural History and chiefly con- cerning birds, received from 1 September 1904 till 1 Sep- tember 1908, while some acquisitions of former days are mentioned also. Behind the scientific names I have placed in brackets the popular name, under which the bird is commonly known in the Netherlands; this will be useful to the general reader in our country, who is not familiar ‘with the latin names. The number of the specimens received in the four years is mentioned at each species.
The birds of the Collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are indicated with the number, that each object bears and that agrees with the numbers in the Manuscript Catalogue of van Wickevoort Crommelin, as well as with those in the printed Catalogue of this collection edited by Dr. Jentink (Mus. d’Hist. nat. Pays-Bas, XIV, 1894). The nomenclature in the latter catalogue is not that of van Wickevoort Crommelin.
PopDICIPEDIDAE. 1. Podiceps cristatus (L.). [Fuur].
We received 20 specimens in different plumage. There is in the collection an albino of this species, killed in Holland and purchased in 1866 from the Cabinet van Lidth de Jeude (Schlegel, Cat. Urinatores, Podiceps cristatus, n°. 10). The upperparts in this example have a light brown tinge.

132 AVIFAUNA
A male, shot 18 November 1864 in the province of Noord- Holland, making part of the Collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (294—5) is interesting by the pale coloration of the upper parts.
2. Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert). [RoopHaLsFuuT].
Since 1904 we received only three specimens, killed in the neighbourhood of Leiden, being an old male and an old female from the Kagermeer, 22 September 1905, and a young female from Zoeterwoude, 16 October 1906.
8. Podiceps auritus (L.). [KurrpuIKer].
In the latter four years the Museum received three spe- cimens in winter plumage, killed in the vicinity of Leiden, viz.: 3, 24 January 1905, Nieuwkoop; Q, 19 October 1905, Kagermeer ; ©, 15 November 1907, Zoeterwoude. In our collection are five specimens in full summer dress: four in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (296 —1, 3, 5 and 8) and one in our old collection, presented by the late van Wickevoort Crommelin in 1856 (Schlegel, Cat. Urinatores, Podiceps cornutus, n°. 2).
4, Podiceps nigricollis Brehm. [GEooRDE FuUT].
This species the Museum did not receive in the latter years. We possess altogether ten specimens from Holland, among which are four specimens in full summer plumage, two in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (297—1 and 3) and two in our old collection (Schlegel, Cat. Urina- tores, Podiceps auritus, nos, 2 and 38).
2. Podiceps fluviatilis (Tunstall). [HaGeLzaxse}.
We received 13 specimens, only one in breeding plumage. Of this species, our commonest grebe, the Museum possesses only very few examples in full dress, altogether only six. Specimens in this dress from Holland are very welcome to our collection.

CoLYMBIDAE,
6. Colymbus imber Gunnerus. [IJspurKer].
This species is the rarest of the genus in Holland. Spe- cimens in full dress are extremely rare and I believe that the male, killed 15 May 1856 on the island of Wieringen in the Zuiderzee, in the possession of our Museum (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 301—1) is the only specimen in full dress having been killed in the Netherlands. The two specimens mentioned in Schlegel’s Catalogue (Cat. Urinatores, Colymbus glacialis, ns. 1 and 2) have not been killed with certainty on our shore.
7. Colymbus arcticus L. [PARELDUIKER].
This diver is less rare than the foregoing, although examples in full plumage are far from common. We received since 1904 four specimens in winter dress, one of them, a male from Leiderdorp, province Zuid-Holland, 12 January 1905, with some feathers of the summer plumage on the back. In the collection of the late van Wiekevoort Crommelin are two specimens in full summer plumage (300—1 and 4) and in our old collection one (Schlegel, Cat. Urinatores, Colymbus areticus, n°. 2).
8. Colymbus stellatus Brinnich. [RooDKEELZEEDUIKER].
Young specimens of this species are every winter tolerably common, adult ones are rarer.
Since 1904 we received 16 specimens in winter plumage, only one specimen showing traces of the red throat. One specimen, a male in winter dress, was shot on Texel, 29 May 1906. Only one specimen in the collection van Wicke- yoort Crommelin (299—7) is in perfect summer plumage, while in the Museum’s old collection there are two speci- mens in this dress from our country (Schlegel, Cat. Uri- natores, Colymbus septentrionalis, u*. 1 and 2).

PROCELLARIIDAE,
9. Fulmarus glacialis (L.), [NooRDSCHE sTORMVOGEL].
This is a rare visitor to Holland. Most of the specimens are killed in the cold season after stormy weather. Last year, however, a female was captured alive on the Vliehors near Texel on the 23% July. The primaries of the right
wing had not attained their full length, so that the bird was not able to fly.
10. Procellaria pelagica L. |STORMVOGELTIE].
This species has become in later time in Holland much rarer than formerly, when it was commoner than the next species. In 1863 Schlegel recorded in the Catalogue of the Procellariae three specimens killed in Holland and no spe- cimen of Oceanodroma leucorrhoa. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are 6 examples of pelagica and only 2 of leucorrhoa. The Museum has not received this species during the last four years.

12. Pufinus puffinus (Briinnich). [ NoorpscnE PiJLstToRMVOGEL].
This species is recorded by Temminck as having been captured in Holland. We have in the collection the two types of Procellaria anglorum Temminck (Man. d’Orn. 2° éd. II, 1820, p. 806), one originally labelled by Temminck » Puffinus anglorum, Kurope” and the other one » Pufinus anglorum, Kurope sept.’’; these localities have been changed by Schlegel into ,, Mer du Nord” (Cat. Procellariae, Procellaria anglorum, n°. 1 and 2). Specimens obtained in our country are not known to me }),
13. Puffinus grisea (Gmelin). [GRAUWH PIJLSTORMVOGEL |.
This species is not represented in our collection of indi- genous birds. An old male, captured 15 October 1900 at Hornhuizen, province of Groningen, is in the possession of Baron R. Snouckaert van Schauburg (Tijdschr. Ned. Dierk. Vereen. VIT, 1902, p. 48).
SULIDAE.
14, Sula bassanus (L.). [JAN vAN GENT].
We received three adult specimens, viz. a Q captured alive 7 October 1905 near Noordwijk, a © killed 15 November 1907 on the Zuiderzee and aQ killed 30 January 1908 near den Helder. It seems that young specimens are at present much rarer than in former days.

A pale brown variety of this species was received 19 October 1905. It had been killed on the Kagermeer the
1) Pufinus obscura (Gmelin) is placed wrongly on the list of the birds of Holland by Schlegel. Out of Temminck’s statements (Man. d’Orn, 2e éd. II, 1820, p. 808; IV, 1840, p. 510) is not to read, that an example has been killed in our country.
C. Nozeman (Nederlandsche Vogelen, IV, 1809, p. 369) gives under the name of Procellaria puffinus, B. Linn. the description and a coloured plate of a Daption capensis (L.), which was said to have been killed some years before near Sloterdijk, Noord-Holland.

We received further 13 specimens, young and adult ones, but no specimens in breeding plumage.
16. Phalacrocoraz graculus (.). [GQEKUIFDE SCHOLLEVAAR].
Our Museum received a young female, shot 7 October 1905 near the island of Texel, and an adult male with fully developed crest, killed on the seashore between den Helder and Callantsoog, 1 May 1908. .
We have still another specimen of this bird killed in Holland, viz.: a young female captured 25 February 1860 near Rotterdam (Schlegel, Cat. Pelecani, Graculus cris- tatus, n°. 6).
ARDEIDAE,
17. Ardea cinerea L. [BLavwe REIGER].
We received 14 examples in different ages. The Museum possesses an adult male in which one of the lengthened occipital plumes is white instead of black (Schlegel, Cat. Ardeae, Ardea cinerea, n°. 1, figured by Schlegel, Vogels van Nederland, 1854—58, pl. 186).
18. Ardea purpurea L. [PURPERREIGER].
The Museum purchased only three examples, viz.: young <’, 5 September 1905, de Kaag, Zuid-Holland; adult o, 11 May 1906, Bennebroek, Noord-Holland ; young o, 31 July 1906, de Kaag.
19. Herodias alba (L.). [GROoTE ZILVERREIGER].
We possess only one specimen, a female, shot 2 February 1855 near Zutphen (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 213—1).

20. Garzetta garzetta (L.). [KLEINE ZILVERREIGER].
This species is not represented in the collection by an example shot in our country. One indigenous example was preserved in the University Museum of Groningen, burnt in 1906; another was killed in July 1901 near Gennep, province Limburg (Snouckaert, Tydschr. Ned. Dierk. Vereen. Wir 2902, p. 271).
21. Nycticorax nycticorax (L.). [Kwak].
The night-heron is at the present time very rare in Holland. We possess three specimens: an adult one, only labelled »Holland”’ (Schlegel, Cat. Ardeae, Ardea nycticorazx, n°, 1), a young male, shot in September 1849 in Holland, without exact locality (Schlegel, ibid. n° 2) and a young male killed 19 August 1861 in the province Zuid-Holland (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 218—3).
22. Ardeola ralloides (Scopoli), [RALREIGER].
Two specimens are in our collection: an adult specimen, shot at the Kralingermeer near Rotterdam, purchased from the Cabinet van Lidth de Jeude (Schlegel, Cat. Ardeae, Ardea comata, n°. 1) and an adult one, shot on the Scholle- vaarseiland, July 1860 (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 215—1).
23. Ardetia minuta (L.). [Woupaapys].
In the latter years the Museum received four specimens: young o’, 14 August 1906, Kagermeer, prov. Zuid-Holland ; adult Q, 25 September 1906, Aalsmeer, prov. Noord-Holland ; adult Q, 15 August 1907, Leimuiden, prov. Zuid-Holland ; young (, 7 August 1908, Zoeterwoude, prov. Zuid-Holland.
24, Botaurus stellaris (L.), [Romrpomp].
It is a remarkable fact, that among the specimens pre- served in our collection are much more males than females.

138 AVIFAUNA
In our old collection are among 14 specimens only one female and an unsexed specimen, the rest are males. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are three speci- mens, two males and one female. In my time we received ten specimens, being seven males and three females.
CICONTIDAE. 25. Ciconia ciconia (L.). [OoIEVAAR}.
We received a young male and a young female of about four weeks of age, taken from the nest 10 June 1906 at Hintham near ’s Hertogenbosch.
26. Ciconia nigra (L.). [ZWARTE OOIEVAAB].
We possess three specimens killed in Holland, two young ones from Hoek van Holland, August 1859 (Schlegel, Cat. Ciconiae, Ciconia nigra, n°. 3, and the specimen in the col- lection van Wickevoort Crommelin, 210—1) and a young female from Zandvoort, 21 August 1884 (Coll. van Wicke- voort Crommelin, 210—2).
IBIDAE. 27. Plegadis falcinellus (L.). [Ists].
We possess an adult specimen, labelled by Temminck »tué en Hollande” (Schlegel, Cat. Ibis, bis falcinellus, n°. 2) and a young female, killed 30 October 1873 at Zwartsluis, province Overijssel (Collection van Wickevoort Crommelin,
207—2).
28. Platelea leucorodia L. [LePELaaR].
We received a young male and a young female, killed 9 August 1906 on Texel. In the old collection is a young male shot 3 December 1862 near Leiden, and in the col- lection van Wickevoort Crommelin is a young female shot 27 February at Hoek van Holland. We possess a fine

ANATIDAE. 29. Cygnus cygnus (L.). [WILDE zwaan].
The Museum purchased five specimens, viz. : adult o’, 3 March 1906, Texel; adult 9, 20 December 1906, Texel; adult o”, February 1907, Ierseke, province Zeeland ; adult oo’, 27 November 1907, Texel; young 9, 7 January 1908, Kagermeer, Zuid-Holland.
30. Cygnus bewickii Yarrell, [KLEINE zwAAN].
In the latter years we did not receive this species. We possess the following specimens captured in our country: adult <j, captured alive in Holland and received 17 July
1855 from the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam (Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Cygnus minor, n°. 1); adult ©, 15 March 1856, Holland, without exact locality
(Schlegel, ibid. n° 2); adult o’, 20 March 1858, near Meppel, province Drenthe (Collection van Wickevoort Crommelin, 237—1); adult ©, 16 December 1882, Angerlo near Doesburg, pro- vince Gelderland. Presented by Dr. R. Horst.
31. Cygnus olor (Gmelin). [KNoBBELzWwaaN].
It will be always very difficult to state, if the specimens shot in our country are wild birds or domesticated ones. The so-called Cygnus immutabilis Yarrell is without doubt a race arised in captivity. True C. olor we did not receive; only two specimens of the variety immutabilis, an adult female shot
1) In the beginning of December 1906 an example of Phoenicopterus roseus Pallas has been shot near Hindeloopen in the province Friesland. I have not inserted this species in the list, because we have to do, very probably, with a bird escaped from captivity. I have not seen the bird, but, judging from the descriptions, it must be the named species,

near Rijpwetering, Zuid-Holland, 1 June 1906, and an adult male shot on Texel, 20 July 1906.
32. Chen hyperboreus (Pallas). [SneEuweANs].
This species has been only seen in our country; till yet no specimen has been shot or captured.
33. dAnser anser (L.). [GRAUWE- GANS].
Till a short time since a few pairs of this species were breeding in Friesland, which seems to be at present not more the case. The Museum received two old males, both killed on Texel, 12 March and 2 April 1906.
34. Anser brachyrhynchus Baillon, [KLEINE RIETGANS].
This species is with A. fabalis the most common goose on migration. We received the following specimens: Q, February 1905, Warmond; Ooo, 13 December 1905, Veeregat, Zeeland, presented by Messrs. T. M. Pike and H. Leyborne Popham; o, 24 January 1906, coast of Groningen ; co, 20 November 1906, Westernieland, coast of Groningen ; young 9, 28 November 1906, Texel; in this example the lower fore part of the legs had a yellow tinge; ©, 10 November 1907, Westernieland, Groningen; also in this example the lower fore part of the legs was yellowish ; co, 14 January 1908, Noordwyk, province Zuid-Holland. . The above mentioned females dated 28 November 1906 and 10 November 1907 are true brachyrhynchus, their legs having only an abnormal coloration on the lower parts. They have nothing to do with the so-called Anser car- neirostris Buturlin, which is in my opinion a variation of Anser fabalis; a specimen of this variation has been shot by the late Mr. T. M. Pike in our country, in the province Zeeland, 17 February 1903 (Alphéraky, the Geese of Europe and Asia, 1905, p. 120).

390, Anser fabalis (Latham). [Rrzreans].
It is impossible to me to draw a well defined line between A, fabalis and A. f. arvensis Brehm [Axxercans]; there are all kinds of variation in the shape, length and coloration of the bill and the white surrounding of the bill, which all are only individual. We have a large number of bean- geese shot in our country, 20 stuffed specimens and 9 skins received in the latter years, which belong all to one species: Anser fabalis (Latham).
36. Anser erythropus (L.). [Dwereeans].
We did not receive this species in the latter time. The Mu- seum possesses the following specimens captured in our country: adult 9, 13 January 1865, Overijssel (Coll. van Wickevoort
Crommelin, 230—1); young Q, 7 January 1870, near Rotterdam; adult O, 3 November 1873, Overijssel (Coll. van Wickevoort
Crommelin, 230—2); adult o’, 6 November 18738, Overyjssel (Coll. van Wickevoort
Crommelin, 230—83); young Q, 16 October 1899, Eemnes, province Utrecht,
presented by Mr. F. E. Blaauw, November 1899; young ©, captured in Friesland. Purchased from the
Zoological Garden at Rotterdam, February 1902.
37. Anser albifrons (Scopoli). [Koueans].
Also this species we did not receive in the latter years, though it is a common winter visitor. The Anser pallipes de Sélys syn. Anser albifrons roseipes Schlegel seems to be a domestic race of this species, as specimens bred in cap- tivity often have pale red feet. According to Mr. F. E. Blaauw (N. L. M. XV, 1893, p. 216) the latter is a hybrid between A. albifrons and A. anser bred in a by the goose catchers.
38. Branta rujicollis (Pallas), [RooDHALSGANS).
In the collection is only one specimen from our country,

a young male without date, captured near Rotterdam and presented by H. Schlegel (Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Anser ruficollis, n°. 2).
39. Branta leucopsis (Bechstein). [Branpeans].
The Museum received a young female shot 1 February 1907 on Texel, and one old male, two old females, two young males and a young female shot on the Ooster Schelde, Zeeland, 2 March 1907, and presented by the late Mr. T. M. Pike.
Though not a wild shot bird, yet I will mention here the interesting hybrid between Branta leucopsis and Anser albifrons, bred in the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam, preserved in our collection (Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Anser leucopsis, n°. 8).
40. Branta bernicla (L.). [Roteans].
We received 17 specimens.

42. Branta canadensis (L.). [CANADAGANS].
In the collection are two adult males, which have been shot 22 July and 28 July 1876 in the Anna Paulowna- polder, province Noord-Holland, and which are presented by Jhr. Mr. D. van Foreest. The bird is observed on several occasions in our country, but it is doubtful whether these are real wild birds or such escaped from captivity.

43. Tadorna tadorna (L.). |BERGEEND].
The Museum received 9 adult males and females from Hoek van Holland, Texel and the coast of Groningen, and a young female shot 8 August 1905 at Leimuiden, Zuid- Holland.
44, Casarca casarca (L.). [KASARKA-EEND].
The Museum possesses a fine adult male, shot 6 October 1869 at Waardenburg, province of Gelderland. The late van Wickevoort Crommelin has mentioned this bird in the »Archives Néerlandaises des sciences exactes et naturelles’, tome IV, 1869, p. 394. I don’t believe the bird is escaped from captivity, as wings and feet are in best condition. The bird has been observed moreover in Germany, Sweden, Denmark and England.
45. Anas boschas L. [WILDE EEND).
We purchased a male, shot 20 April 1906 at Aalsmeer, Noord-Holland, in which the chestnut-brown colour of the breast 1s continued along the sides of the body, while some scapulars are also partly chestnut. The under surface is almost white, the vermiculation nearly invisible. The back is black, vermiculated with brownish and the wingcoverts greyish brown, vermiculated and edged with white. Further we purchased 20 males and females in different stages of plumage.

In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (241—12) is a male hybrid between these two species, agreeing with the above described one; this bird has been shot 10 March 1868 in the province Gelderland.
The bird mentioned by van Wickevoort Crommelin and by Schlegel as being a hybrid between the two above named species (van Wickevoort Crommelin, Ned. Tydschr. Dierk. II, 1865, p. 294; Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Anas boschas, n°. 30) is a steril female of the domestic race, assuming partly the male plumage.

OF THE NETHERLANDS. 145
In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin is an example, captured at Schagen, Noord-Holland, 2 October 1888 (243—12), labelled by him hybrid of Anas crecca and acuta (see the description from the hand of van Wickevoort Crommelin in Leverkiihn’s paper in Journ. ftir Ornithologie, 1890, p. 212). It is a female and it resembles in every respect the female of acuta exept in its size; the coloration of the head is also as in acuta, not as in crecca as Crommelin states. There is even no indication of a green wingspeculum, which in crecca both male and female possess and that should be indicated, when one of the parents was a crecca. If the bird is really a hybrid, it can be in my opinion only a cross of acuta and querquedula. The dimensions are: wing 225, tail 95, tarso-met. 28, bill 38 mm.
Hybrid between Dajila acuta (Iu.) & Anas boschas L.
Hybrids of these two species are represented in the general collection by the following examples:

These three specimens resemble the male figured in Naumann’s Voégel Mitteleuropas, last edition, Bnd. X, Taf. 9, fig. 1. From the third specimen I noticed the colours of the soft parts as: iris dark brown, bil! light grey with black tip and a black streak along the middle, lower bill for the greater part black, feet pale orange-yellow.
A fourth specimen of the same hybrid and also a male is received in 1870 from the Zoological Garden at Rotter- dam, but it is not mentioned whether it was a wild bird or a specimen bred in captivity. “s
In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are three specimens of this hybrid: a male shot 18 January 1862 near Rotterdam, a male shot 26 January 1866 in the pro-

vince Noord-Holland and a young male shot 26 November 1866 in the same province (241—7, 10 and 11).
Hybrid between Dajila acuta (L.) X Mareca penelope (L.).
We possess a male hybrid between these species, killed 20 January 1862 at Anjum, province Friesland, and presented by the late Mr. H. Albarda (Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Anas acuta, n°’. 19). This bird is described by the late van Wicke- voort Crommelin in Ned. Tydschr. Dierk. IT, 1865, p. 296, as a hybrid of the two named species, but later on (Ar- chives Néerl. Sc. ex. et nat. VII, 1872, p. 135) he supposed the bird to be a hybrid of Dafila acuta and Nettion crecca. The late Albarda mentioned the bird in his »Aves Neerlan- dicae’ 1897, p. 110, as a hybrid of Mareca penelope and Nettion crecca. The bird is however without doubt a hybrid between acuta and penelope. 3

and Messrs, Pike and Popham presented to us a fine series in different plumage, altogether 30 specimens.
49, Nettion crecca (L.). [WINTERTALING].
We received 15 specimens. In the collection van Wicke- voort Crommelin is a female (if correctly sexed?) — killed at Santpoort, 25 November 1854 (247—3), assuming the male plumage. Another example in the same collection (247—4), a female, shot near Naarden, 14 April 1855, has some white feathers on the forehead, on the head and in the tail, while a female, shot at Beverwyk, 23 October 1876, has a great amount of white in its plumage and shows the interesting fact that the left side is much more whitish than the right one. The green speculum in the right wing is more developed than in the left one, where only one feather is green. Bill and feet are of a paler colour than normal. A male, shot at Uitgeest, 2 October 1891 (Coll. van Wickevoort Crommelin, 247—10), has a small white collar on the foreneck.
Sometimes occur among these teals, as in other ducks, Specimens in which the undersurface is strongly ferruginous brown, probably in consequence of their sojourn on ferru- ginous water. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin is such an example, a male, shot 18 August 1857 on the Wikermeer (2475). I received such another specimen, a female, killed 14 August 1906 near Leimuiden, Zuid-Holland.
Hybrid between Nettton crecca (L.) X Dafila acuta (LL).
A male hybrid of these ducks is in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (243—10). The bird was caught 25 February 1868 at Waardenburg, Gelderland, and has lived till 26 December 1870 in the Zoological Garden at Rotter- dam. This bird much more resembles crecca than acuta (see description by van Wickevoort Crommelin, Arch. Néerl. Sc. ex. et nat. VII, 1872, p. 134).

D1. Querquedula querquedula (L.). [ZomERTALING].
This teal is very numerous in August and September, when it leaves us; it returns in March. In winter it is rare. Our Museum received in the latter years a fine series of 26 skins in different stages of plumage, all killed in the neighbourhood of Leiden, one of which, a male from Nieuw- koop, 2 August 1905, has its undersurface dark ferruginous brown.
52. Spatula clypeata (L.). [StoBeEND].
We purchased a fine series of 17 skins in different plu- mage, almost all killed in the neighbourhood of Leiden.
Hybrid between Spatula clypeata (L.) X Dajila acuta (L.).
A male hybrid between these species was caught in the province Zuid-Holland (place and date unknown); it has lived till 10 July 1877 in captivity in the Zoological Garden at Rotterdam, when it was purchased by van Wickevoort Crommelin (242—5).
It is difficult in this hybrid to determine which are the parents. Clypeata is evident in the shape of the bill and the coloration of the head, the top of the head, however, is mottled as in the male acuta. The forepart of the breast is brown like in penelope, some of the feathers vermiculated with black; rest of the undersurface as in acuta. The back is not unlike an immature penelope; the wing shows relations to clypeata and acuta. The speculum is almost as in clypeata, the ferruginous wingbar of acuta is here nearly white with only a ferruginous tinge on the apical end. It therefore is very likely that also penelope blood is in this hybrid.

53. Netta rujina (Pallas), [KroonEEnp].
After the specimen, which I have mentioned in vol. XX VI, p- 196 of this periodical, the Museum did not receive another example. We possess 10 specimens from the Netherlands.
54. Aythia ferina (L.). [TAFELEEND].
Very common on migration and not rare in winter; found breeding in Noord-Brabant, Friesland and Noord- Holland and I presume it breeds also on. the lakes near Leiden. We were presented by Mr. T. M. Pike with and we purchased together 24 specimens in different plumage, respectively from Veere (province Zeeland), the neighbourhood of Leiden and from Texel. An adult male, shot 28 January 1905 at Nieuwkoop, is interesting as to the amount of black on vent and under tailcoverts, not only the under tailcoverts being black, but also the abdomen is nearly black, only sparingly vermiculated with grey; also the black of the breast has a greater extension. In the collection van Wicke- voort Crommelin is an old male in full dress (249—3), shot 26 January 1855 on the Y, in which the undersurface is dull brown.
Hybrid between Aythia ferina (L.) X Aythia nyroca (Giildenstadt).
Of this hybrid, the so-called Fuliqula homeyeri Biadeker, a male is in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (249—5). The bird has been caught alive in our country, 25 February 1870, locality not mentioned, and has lived till 9 June 1870 in the Zoological Garden at Rotterdam.
55. Aythia nyroca (Giildenstidt). [WiTooceEnp].
This species belongs to the rarer ducks of our country. Every year specimens are killed on the lakes in the neigh- bourhood of Leiden and it is not impossible that a single pair breeds there.

A female cross of these species has been killed on Texel, 19 February 1897, and was presented to our collection by the late Herman Albarda. The colour and markings of the uppersurface are between those of fuligula.and marila; the crest is developed; the undersurface is more like that of marila, vermiculations on the feathers of the abdomen remember at marila; the bill is much smaller than that of marila, but a little larger than that of fuliqula; iris yellow; wing 200 mm.
57. Fuligula marila (L.). [TopPpEReEnD].
We purchased a fine series of 24 specimens killed in the months September till March, on inland waters as well as at the seacoast.
According to the late H. Schlegel a specimen of the american Puligula affinis Kyton should have been killed in our country (Schlegel, Cat. Anseres, Fuligula afinis, n°. 7). This specimen, a female, shot 21 December 1859 at Katwijk, is still in our collection. I have compared this example with our specimens of ajinis from North-America and with our series of marila and I am convinced that the specimen does not belong to afinis, but that it is a true marila. A female marila, shot 12 November 1904 on Texel, even is smaller than this specimen. The white surrounding of the bill in Schlegel’s specimen is also too extensive for affinis.
In January 1897 the late Herman Albarda presented to our collection a female duck, shot 13 January 1897 on Texel, which he thought to be a cross of Fuligula marila (L.) and Clangula clangula (L.). With this determination I cannot agree, as the bird is in every respect a female of marila, except in its abnormal small white collar on the foreneck.

The young in down in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin (256—5), captured near Santpoort, Noord- Holland, 5 July 1860, does not belong to this species, is even not a young of a diving-duck, but that of the domestic race of Anas boschas.
62. Somateria mollissima (L.). [H1DEREEND].
As I have already communicated in the »Ornithologische Monatsberichte”’ of 1906, the Hider Duck has bred in 1906 in Holland on the island of Vlieland. Through the kindness of the mayor of Vlieland, Mr. J. Molenaar, the Museum received three eggs of a clutch of four, found 7 June 1906 on the top of a dune on that island. Two further nests, containing each three eggs, were found a few days before and a few days later. The eggs measure 74,5 X 54, 78 & 55 and 76 & 55 mm.; they are of dull greenish colour. Mr. Molenaar informed me that already in the summer of 1905 Hiders have been seen on Vlieland, but then no eggs were found; in 1907 three pairs of these ducks were seen and one nest with five eggs was found, but unfortunately destroyed by boys. Mr. Molenaar supposes, that in 1906 as well as in 1907 incubations have succeeded. It is to hope, that his supposition is right and that the Eider Duck may become a regular breeding bird in Holland. In 1908 also eggs have been found on Vlieland as well as on Terschelling, where in 1906 and 1907 the bird also has been observed and also eggs have been found. In winter Hiders visit our country every year, but not always in the same number, being in some years tolerably common, in others again distinctly rare. As to the occurrence in the waters of the province Zeeland the late Mr. T,. M. Pike wrote to me, that they appear annually in the Veeregat in small lots, usually to be seen feeding over the musselbeds and stone piers, which extend from Veere towards the Roompot. He has seen on several occasions from 20 to 30 Hiders together in the channels, which run through between the Neeltje Jans Roggenplaat in the Ooster Schelde.

Concerning the annual appearance in autumn and winter of ducks and geese in the Zeeland waters, the late Mr. T. M. Pike, who has been shooting with the puntgun during more than twenty years on our coast, has given me inte- resting notes. He wrote to me: »The wigeon') is the most numerous here; it arrives in small numbers in September, becomes more numerous in October and November. Probably a good number pass through further south, but here retain some 4 or 5 thousand right through the winter. Next comes Anas boschas, not so numerous as penelope, but still to be reckoned by thousands, they become scarcer as the winter draws in, mostly I believe, owing to the decoy here at’ Vrouwepolder, which is the best in Holland and catches chiefly duck ?) and teal *), not many wigeon. Teal are numerous in October and November and then disappear, being got by the decoy and some going on south. Pintails*) remain in small number throughout winter, but are most numerous On migration in autumn and again in spring. Shovelers”*) are here in some numbers from October to March. I once killed a garganey °). The gadwall") does not occur here, but is found on the East Schelde on the Roggenplaat and is caught in some numbers in the Schouwen decoys. It is more a pond bird, that is does not come to the tide, unless

frozen out. The same applies to the tufted duck '); I once killed 28 of them at one shot, but in mild winters I do not see them. A few scaups*) may be seen here any time, but in severe frost as in 1891 and 1895 they appear in large numbers from their proper habitat, which is more outside water, such as Brugsluis and the next gat, outside of Schouwen.
Black scoters*) come annually in some numbers and a few velvet scoters*) also come in the Veeregat in hard frost. Long-tailed ducks®) appear almost if not quite annually, but the only adult male I ever saw was the one I sent to you. Golden eyes®) are common enough, but difficult to shoot. Nyroca I have never met, ferina is not common, usually with scaups.
The sheldrake ‘) is another common bird here. With regard to the association together of Anatidae, I have killed at one shot pintail, teal, shoveler, wigeon and duck. I often see mixed lots appearing together when resting on the sounds.
The goosander *) I have never seen here, but the redbreasted merganser’) is a common winter bird here from October to March. The smew '°) isa freshwater bird, only coming to the tide in frost. They are rare in salt water tided areas.
As to the geese, the earliest to arrive is the beangoose "'), which comes in September and stays at all events to March. The most numerous goose is the pink-footed goose '*), which does not arrive here in full numbers till early December and in mild winters the bulk of them leave early in February. The white-fronted goose '*) resembles the pink-footed in its seasons. The grey lag") is an autumn and spring migrant and rare during the dead of the winter. The most frequented haunt of this goose are the big grass marshes outside Stellen- dam and Middelharnis. White-fronted geese will associate

either with beangeese or pink-footed geese; I have killed them at the same shot. But pink-footed geese and bean- geese are not found together, according to my somewhat extensive experience, I have killed a thousand grey geese in my time. The pink-footed geese feed by day in the surrounding islands of Zeeland and assemble by night on the Scholleman shoal, on the outside of the Veeregat. The beangeese prefer the island marshes farther up the estuary. In moonlight nights they will sometimes remain all night in land. The lesser white-fronted goose‘) I have never recognised. The brent goose *) does not occur here, except in severe frost; it is common in the Brouwershavengat. The bernacle goose *) is common on the Krammensche Slikken, - but only comes here in frost. On 21 January 1903 [ killed 30 bernacles here at one shot. But in mild winters I don’t see them. The red-breasted goose *) has got once on the Dortsman sand near Stavenisse in company with bernacles by a friend of mine; this would be twenty years ago.”
VULTURIDAE, 67. Gyps fulvus (Gmelin). [VaLe GreR].

We received only one specimen, a young male, killed 26 October 1907 at Domburg, Zeeland, Altogether we possess — a series of 32 stuffed specimens from the Netherlands.
70. Circus pygargus (L.). [ASCHGRAUWE KUIKENDIEF].
We received a female, shot on its nest, with two eggs from Ameland, 12 June 1905, where this species is rather common. Further a male shot in July 1906 near Asten, Noord-Brabant, and a male shot 30 August 1908 at Deurne, Noord-Brabant. The series of 35 specimens in the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin is splendid.

74, Buteo buteo (L.). [Buizerp].
8 specimens killed in winter in the provinces Gelderland and Drenthe.
75. Buteo buteo desertorum (Daudin). [STEPPENBUIZERD].
There are in the collection of Mr. Bn. Snouckaert van Schauburg two specimens of this little buzzard, caught near Delden, province Overyssel, 16 April 1902 and 30 April 1904. Mr. Snouckaert has recorded these birds in his orni- thological annual reports (Tydschr. Ned. Dierk. Ver. VII, 1902, p. 267; VIII, 1904, p. 250) under the name of Buteo zimmermannae Khmcke. He was so kind to send me on my request for examination one of these birds, which appeared to me to be deserturum, agreeing with examples from southern Russia in our collection. I use the name desertorum for these South-Russian examples, though I am not quite sure, that this is the correct name for the desert buzzard of south-eastern Hurope.
76. Buteo ferox (Gmelin). [ARENDBUIZERD].
The only specimen observed in our country, is now living in the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam. The bird was captured in the beginning of December 1905 near Amsterdam.

We possess the skeleton of a female, captured May 1855 at Het Loo, Gelderland (van Oort, Cat. Ost. Ois. 1907, p. 53, Aquila pomarina — a). This bird lived till 1856 in the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam and was then presented to our Museum. Schlegel has given in his »Vogels van Nederland” under the name of Aguila clanga, its description and measurements (wing 17 pouces = 460 mm.) and the latter show, that the bird belongs to pomarina. —

A young female was shot 21 November 1907 in the Anna Paulowna polder and purchased for our collection. The Museum possesses further ten specimens killed in Hol- land; among them are three adult ones with white tails, two males in our old collection, one, only labelled Holland, purchased in 1858 from Mr. van Lidth de Jeude, the other killed near Lisse in 1837 and presented by C.

We received only two young specimens, a very small female (if well sexed?), killed 9 October 1907 at Wester- nieland, Groningen (wing 310 mm.), and a female killed 17 October 1907 near Workum, Friesland. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin and in our general collection together we possess 41 stuffed specimens killed in the Netherlands. We have very small specimens, which are determinated as females, but as the determination of the sex in young birds generally and in young birds of prey specially is very difficult and often requires microscopical examination, it is possible that the sexes mentioned on the labels are not always correct.
89. Falco barbarus L. [BARBARIJSCHE VALK].
We possess a female, caught August 1857 at Valkens- waard, Noord-Brabant. This bird lived till 2 August 1862 in the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam and was then pre- sented to our Museum. Schlegel supposed the bird to be Falco barbarus L. (Cat. Falcones, Falco barbarus, n°. 6); he mentioned it as a male, on the postament the sex is however given as female. After a careful examination I am also convinced, that this specimen belongs to barbarus. As the bird has lived during five years in confinement, the plumage is certainly not quite normal and not in keeping with its age. The uppersurface is pale brownish grey, the feathers with faint blackish bars and with pale rufous edgings; crown and forehead dark brown with black shaft-stripes and rufous edgings; hindneck rufous with some dark brown spots; earcoverts greyish brown; cheek- stripes blackish, margined with rufous at the hinder part; sides of neck, chin and throat creamy white; groundcolour of undersurface white with buff tinge, on the lower breast and the sides of the breast with rusty tinge; markings on the undersurface like in an old peregrinus, upperbreast with a few black shaft-lines; wing 310, tail 175, tarso-

metatarsus 51, culmen 26 mm. For comparison I had six specimens of barbarus in our collection (Schlegel, Cat. Fal- cones, Falco barbarus, n®. 1 to 5, and a young specimen from the Red Sea); apart from the markings on the under- surface our specimen agrees tolerably well with n® 4 of the Catalogue, an old specimen, not sexed, from Sennaar. Our specimen is the only one known to me from the Nether- lands, the specimen under the name of barbarus in the collection of the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam, caught 2 October 1886 at Cromvoirt, Noord-Brabant, being in my Opinion a young peregrinus, a female of small size (wing 315, tail 170, tarso-metatarsus 50 mm.) with not very broadly striped underparts.

We purchased 17 specimens from different localities. We possess 8 colour-variations of this species, all killed in Holland: two almost white ones, a grey one in which the brown colour is replaced by pale brown and yellowish white, a dark maroon one with pale brown head, a pale brown one, a pale brown one variegated with white and two specimens strongly variegated with white. A male, shot 18 September 1861 in the province of Groningen, is very dark at upper- and undersurface; chin and throat are however paler as usually.
96. Caccabis rufus (L.). [RoopE PatRiss].
This species has been observed in Limburg and Gelder- land. As it has been introduced in some parts of Germany, it is not certain, that the birds observed in our country really were wild birds. We don’t possess examples shot in the Netherlands.

147. Gallinago gallinago (L.). [WatersniP].
Twelve specimens. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin are three pale-coloured variations (205 —3, 5 and 6), and in 1858 a whitish specimen has been purchased from the Cabinet van Lidth de Jeude (Schlegel, Cat. Scolopaces, Gallinago scolopacina, n°. 20),
148. Gallinago major (Gmelin). [PorLsniP].
The Museum received 5 specimens, four of them killed in September and one, a male, shot 23 December 1905 near Putten, Gelderland. It is not always easy to distinguish G. gallinago from G. major, but looking at the first primary, there can be no doubt, the outer web of this primary being in gallinago whitish and in major dark brownish.
149. Gallinago gallinula (L.). [Boxse].

157. Larus glaucus Brtinnich. [ BurGemnxzster].
This species we did not receive in the latter years. We possess altogether two adult specimens and nine young ones, killed in the months November, December, January and March on the coast of Noord- and Zuid-Holland.
158. Larus leucopterus Faber. [KLEINE BURGEMEESTER ].

163, Larus ridibundus L. |[Koxmaxuw].
We received 15 specimens in different plumage. On page 212 of the twenty-fifth volume of the Catalogue of the birds in the British Museum, the late Howard Saunders described a female of the black-headed gull, obtained in England, that has the underparts, and even the shafts and webs of the primaries, suffused with a beautiful salmon-pink. On 16 October 1906 I received a female of this species, caught in the province of Groningen, which shows as to the shafts of the first 4 primaries the same peculiarity. A male, killed at Katwijk, 21 January 1908, had the breast and vent with a rosy tinge, which colour afterwards disappeared.
- The so-called Larus capistratus Temminck cannot be upheld as a small race of this gull.
164. Larus minutus Pallas. [Dweremesvw ].
This species, formerly breeding in our country, at present visits us only on migration. Every winter a few young specimens in first plumage and old specimens in winter plumage are killed. Old specimens in full dress, shot on spring migration, are rare. Since 1904 I received the fol- lowing specimens: co, winter plumage, January 1905, province of Groningen. o', winter plumage, January 1906, province of Groningen. o', winter plumage, 5 December 1906, province of Groningen. o, first plumage, 19 January 1908, near den Helder. ©, full dress, 1 May 1908, near Texel.

We received only one specimen, a female, killed 3 De- cember 1906 on the coast of Groningen. This gull is a regular, though not common winter visitant. In the col- lection van Wickevoort Crommelin is an old male, killed in June 1840 at Zandvoort, Noord-Holland.
166. Xema sabini (Sabine). [SaBinu’s VORKSTAARTMEEUW ].
We possess of this species a young specimen in first plumage, that was presented to our collection in 1863 by the late Professor van Lidth de Jeude of Utrecht. This specimen is labelled by Schlegel »Mer du Nord’’ (Schlegel, Cat. Lari, Larus sabinei, n°. 2). It is an old, badly mounted example, and as it is from the collection van Lidth de Jeude, in which there were more rariora from the Netherlands, it is very likely, that the specimen has been killed in our country and that it is the very bird mentioned by Temminck in 1840 as »un jeune sur les cétes de Hollande”’ (Man. d’Orn. 2¢ éd. IV, 1840, p. 489).
In the Museum of the Zoological Garden at ’s Gravenhage is a young male of this species, that has been shot on the shore near Hoek van Holland, 11 October 1892.
167. Hydroprogne tschegrava (Lepechin). [RevzeNnsTERN].
Of this in our country very rare species we possess two specimens: an adult one in winter plumage, not sexed, shot long time ago in autumn on Texel, very probably by Temminck, and an old female in summer plumage, shot
28 June 1847 on the Zyl, near Leiden, by H. Schlegel. Notes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX,

168. Gelochelidon nilotica (Hasselquist). [LacusteRn].
The Museum received four specimens, an old male, two young males and a young female, killed 7 August 1908 on the sandbank »Onrust’’ near Texel.
The old male is in breeding plumage, the young speci- mens are of different age; the oldest one, a male, has the bill dark grey and the base of the lower mandible olive- brown; in the two others the bill is dark grey and the base of the lower mandible pale orange.
We have still another example of this very rare visitor to our country: a male in perfect dress, shot 15 August 1838 on the Haarlemmermeer by H. Schlegel.
169. Sterna fluviatilis Naumann. [Viscuprerse}.
The Museum received 37 specimens in different plumage.
It seems that this species does not assume always its full plumage in the second year, for on 12 June 1908 a male and on 24 June 1908 a male and a female in winter plumage were killed near Texel. The dissection showed, that they were young birds of last year, the genitals being very small. The bill in these birds is black with a light horny tip and with some red at the base; the feet are dull dark red.
170. Sterna macrura Naumann. |NoorpDscHe stern].
This species breeds on Texel in an equal number with S. fluviatilis. In June 1905 and 1906 I collected on Texel three adult males and four adult females and a young in down. As a rule on Texel S. macrura seems to lay two eggs, for all the birds, snared on the nests containing two eggs, belonged to macrura. On 20 October 1906 a young male in first plumage and on 31 July 1907 a young female in first plumage were killed on the coast of Groningen. On the Hoek van Holland, where a large colony of S. fluviatilis is breeding, S. macrura does not breed; I have shot there several terns, but none of this species.

175. Alca torda L. [ALK].
We received 16 specimens, adult and young ones. This bird is a common visitor to our country. Specimens in full dress with entirely black head however are not often met with; we possess only three specimens in this plumage, viz. : o, 5 June 1836, den Helder.
o, 6 July 1858, Zandvoort. Q, without exact locality, 12 April 1874.
In the collection of the late van Wickevoort Crommelin, there is no specimen in this perfect dress.
An adult male with nearly black head, having on the black throat and cheeks still some white feathers, was killed on Schouwen, province of Zeeland, 27 February 1907.
This year I received a young male, without white groove on the bill, in which the head is nearly black, the throat and cheeks being mixed with some white feathers. The bird was shot near Texel, 12 May 1908. A similar, but still younger male was shot near Texel, 21 August 1908.

Specimens of this species in full plumage are observed more frequently on our shore than those of Alca torda. In this dress I received a male, killed January 1906 near den Helder, and a female, killed 18 March 1907 on Texel.
Of the variety Uria ringvia Briinnich [BasTaaRDZEEKOET], we possess the following examples killed in Holland:
o', full breeding plumage, 8 June 1861, Noordwyk. Q, winter plumage, 11 February 1868, Noordwijk. Q, winter plumage, 20 January 1887, Zandvoort. QO, winter plumage, 24 November 1888, Zandvoort. oO’, winter plumage, 14 February 1889, Zandvoort,

177. Uria lomvia (L). [Groove zEexKoerr].
We possess a specimen in full plumage labelled by Temminck » Uria brunnichii — Mer du Nord” (Schlegel, Cat. Urinatores, Alca arra, n°. 1), This is a true lomvia, having all the characters of this species. Very probably this example has been killed on our coast.
Albarda (Aves Neerlandicae, 1897, p. 111) states, that in the collection of Messrs. de Graaf, now in the Museum of the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam, is an example of this species. I have examined all the examples of Uria in that collection, but could not find however a lomvia.
178. Cepphus grylle (L.). [ZwARTE& ZEEKOET].
According to Temminck (Man. d’Orn. 1815, p. 610) a specimen has been found by Pallas on the coast of Holland. In the Museum of the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam is a specimen, found in December 1904 near den Helder.

180. Fratercula arctica (L.). [PAPEGAAIDUIKER].
In the winter of 1906—’07 F. arctica has been observed more frequently than in other years. The Museum received two young females, both killed on Texel in the beginning of March 1907. Most of the birds observed in our country are young ones, quite adult birds occur very rarely. A nearly adult female was killed 28 February 1908 on the seashore near Noordwijk and purchased for the collection.

We received 13 specimens, killed in the months August and October till March.
187. Asio accipitrina (Pallas). [Vetpuit].
This species 1s On migration not so common as the pre- ceding one. We purchased 13 specimens, 8 males and 5 females, killed from September till April.
188. Scops scops (L.). [Dwercoorvit].
There is no specimen shot in the Netherlands in the collection. In the Museum of the Zoological Garden at Rotterdam is a female, that was captured in September 1890 near that town. Mr. W. Geurtsen, praeparator at the School of Agriculture at Wageningen, informs me that he has stuffed in 1894 a specimen, that was shot that year near Wageningen. An old female was captured in the end of March 1906 near Gulpen, province Limburg (0. le Roi, Orn. Monatsb. 1908, p. 109).
189. Nyctea nyctea (L.). [SNEEUWUIL].
We possess no specimen killed in our country. About a dozen of examples have been observed in the Netherlands. According to Schlegel (Herklots, Bouwst. Faun. Ned. I,

1853, p. 64) there was an example of this owl, caughtin 1806 at Amsterdam after a heavy north-western gale, in the cabinet of C. J. Temminck, which collection became in 1820 the foundations of our present Museum. This example is not more in the collection, and it seems that it was already wanting in 1862, when Schlegel wrote his Catalogue of the Striges, for he did not make mention of it in that paper. |
190. Syrnium aluco (L.). [Boscnurt].
We received only one specimen, a female, shot at Groes- beek, Gelderland, in January 1906.

(Plate 8).
We received eight specimens. A male, killed 1 May 1907 at Noordwijk, has the undersurface white with a few black spots, the others are light or dark orange-buff on the under- parts, spotted with black. In the collection van Wickevoort Crommelin is a fine series of this owl; the two most in- teresting specimens are two old males, which have the underparts pure snowy white without any black spot; in one of them, killed 19 October 1869 at Vogelenzang (278) are even the feathers of the ruff nearly pure white, in the other one, killed 11 December 1885 at Hillegom (27—16), these feathers in the lower part are tipped with orange-buff and blackish brown. The upperparts in these two examples are very clear orange-buff mixed with light grey. The other examples in the collection have the underparts white, light or dark orange-buff or deep orange, more or less spotted with black.

female, wings 97 and 98 mm.; probably this is a northern bird, still on migration.
On migration in autumn there have been killed in our country more specimens with longer wings than those of our breeding birds. They all are probably northern birds, the true Savricola oenanthe (L.), while the breeding birds of our country seem to belong, very probably, to a different subspecies, having shorter wings and as a rule a narrower black band at the tail (Sazicola oenanthe grisea Brehm, ef. O. Kleinschmidt, Berajah, 1905).

This pipit is a common visitor to our shore in winter. We received three specimens killed in October, December and January. As the specimens in our collection shot in March and April have a reddish tinge on the breast, it seems that the rock-pipit, which visits the Netherlands, belongs to the Scandinavian form.

We received 14 specimens, adult ones, killed in the months January to April and in August and October, all presented by Bn. Snouckaert van Schauburg. We had only one example of this form from our country, a male, shot 10 December 1889 at Voorschoten, Zuid-Holland. The bird, that Nozeman (Nederlandsche Vogelen, I, 1770, p. 47, plate, the female) and Schlegel (Vogels van Nederland, 1854—58, p. 25], pl. 129) called Parus palustris, does not belong to this form, but is Parus montanus salicarius Brehm, When Schlegel wrote his ,,Vogels van Nederland’’ there were no specimens of the present form, killed in the Ne- therlands, in the collection of the Museum, only examples of P. m. salicarius Brehm. After Schlegel all the marsh- tits from the Netherlands were called Parus palustris. Kleinschmidt in 1897 (Ornith. Jahrb. VIII, 1897, p. 45, and Journ. fiir Ornith. 1897, p. 112) pointed out very clearly the occurrence of two different species of these tits in Germany, and Hartert in 1905 (Vég. paldarkt., Faun.

Hartert (Vég. paliarkt. Faun. Heft III, 1905, p. 320) states, that all the tree-creepers from the Netherlands seen by him, belong to C. brachydactyla. Also Mr. Snouckaert, who has examined a, tolerably small, number of specimens from different parts of our country, has found only the present form (Snouckaert, Verslagen en Mededeelingen Ned. Orn.

The Museum received 29 specimens. On a country seat at Oegstgeest in the neighbourhood of Leiden a large number of rooks are nesting every year. In May 1907 several young ones were killed, among which there were two specimens, having a white chin and throat, and one specimen having a white chin. In one of the first specimens some of the feathers covering the nostrils are also white.
At the same spot two breeding females were shot, one April 17 1906, the other April 11% 1907, which have chin and throat totally feathered and also the nostrils covered with feathers. In April 1905 and 1907 breeding females with partially feathered throats and with covered nostrils have been killed at the same place.

NOTE XIX.
ON THE SUPPOSED IDENTITY OF _ NEREIS (NEANTHES) SUCCINEA LEUCK. AND N. PERRIERI ST. JOS.
BY
Dr. R. Horst.
Examining a collection of Annelida from the Zuiderzee I met with several individuals of a Nereis-species, that I think can only be JN. succinea Leuck. Yet this worm is a somewhat mysterious species, first described by Leuckart in his ,,Verzeichniss der zur Fauna Helgoland’s gehérenden wirbellosen Seethiere”’) and, though this author stated that it was very common at Cuxhaven, it appears afterwards only to have been collected again near Norderney by Dr. Metzger ”), At least in Michaelsen’s ,,Polychaetenfauna der deutschen Meere’ *) it is not mentioned in the ,;,Tabelle der unter- suchten Polychaeten”’ and the only locality, quoted by him, is Helgoland. The detailed description of NV. succinea, pu- blished by Ehlers in his Borstenwiirmer *), was based on Leuckart’s original specimens and those of Dr. Metzger. I was therefore very glad that Prof. Ehlers would give me the opportunity to examine one of the specimens of his Museum and I am very much obliged to him for this

kindness. For, my specimens in some regards (length of the tentacular-cirri and shape of the posterior parapodia) deviate from the description given by Ehlers, and moreover I was struck by the great resemblance of the Zuiderzee-worms with the Nereis Perriert St. Jos. from the Coast of France '). Nereis succinea as well as N. Perrieri is characterized by the leaf-like development of the dorsal ligule with the parapodia of the posterior segments and the close affinity of both species was already recognized by de Saint-Joseph himself ?); however NV. succinea differs from the last-named species by having shorter tentacular cirri, more teeth at the mandibles and a smaller number of segments. The Norderney-specimen of Nereis succinea from the Géttinger Museum, that shows an indifferent state of preservation, is a rather stout worm, measuring 80 mm. in length, 6 mm. in its greatest breadth (with parapodia) and has only 68 segments, The length, stated by Leuckart for this species, is 100 to 150 mm., but unfortunately he does not mention the number of the segments. All the specimens from the Zuiderzee are much smaller, the largest of them measuring hardly 50 mm. in length and 5'/, mm. in breadth; however the number of their segments amounts to about 100. Taking this in account and also the well-known fact, that among the individuals of an Annelid there often reigns a great disagreement in the number of segments, I believe that the small number of segments of the Norderney-worm has to be considered as an exception. A character of more im- portance to distinguish NV. succinea from NV. Perrier appears — to be the different length of the tentacular cirri, for in the Norderney-specimen these cirri, reversed, do not extend farther backward than to the 4 seoment, as already stated by Ehlers.
In N. Perrieri however the longest tentacular cirri extend till the 7 setigerous segment, therefore four segments more backward. Now our Zuiderzee-specimens show great diffe-

backwards than to the 5‘ segment or the anterior border of the 6' one. Therefore, in my opinion, there cannot be assigned a great systematical value to this character. Lastly only remains the different number of teeth in the maxillae of both species, for in N. Perrieri there are only 4 to 5 of them, whereas the jaws of N. succinea possess 8 to 9 teeth. Though the maxillae of the Norderney-specimen have the teeth not very distinctly separated, and hardly 6 or 7 of them can be recognized, all our Zuiderzee-worms show a great number (8 to 9) of distinct teeth. The question there- fore remains, whether in all specimens of .N. Perrieri the teeth of the jaws are so less developed, as described by de Saint-Joseph. On the contrary I observed a remarkable agreement in the arrangement of the paragnathi of the proboscis of both species; for in A. Perrieri, as stated by
" de Saint-Joseph, both lateral groups upon the dorsal side
of the basal region of the proboscis (VI) consist of a circle of 6 to 7 small paragnathi around a large cen- tral one.

Upon the dorsal median area (V) ‘there are usually two paragnathi, obliquely placed next to each _ other.

rences in that respect, for in some of them the longest tentacular cirei reach the 8", even the 9° segment, whereas in Others, from the same locality, they do not extend farther backwards than to the 5 segment or the anterior border of the 6" one. Therefore, in my opinion, there cannot be assigned a great systematical value to this character. Lastly only remains the different number of teeth in the maxillae of both species, for in N. Perrieri there are only 4 to 5 of them, whereas the jaws of NV. succinea possess 8 to 9 teeth. Though the maxillae of the Norderney-specimen have the teeth not very distinctly separated, and hardly 6 or 7 of them can be recognized, all our Zuiderzee-worms show a great number (8 to 9) of distinct teeth. The question there- fore remains, whether in all specimens of NV. Perrier the teeth of the jaws are so less developed, as described by de Saint-Joseph. On the contrary I observed a remarkable agreement in the arrangement of the paragnathi of the proboscis of both species; for in NV. Perrieri, as stated by de Saint-Joseph, both lateral groups upon the dorsal side of the basal region of the proboscis (VI) consist of a circle of 6to 7 small paragnathi around a large cen- tral one. Now this character is also very distinct in the Norderney-specimen and is also visible in most of the Zuiderzee-worms. Upon the dorsal median area (V) there are usually two paragnathi, obliquely placed next to each other. As for the paragnathi of the maxillary region in the Norderney-specimen, group I contains 3 of them, placed behind each other, quite like in NW. Perriert; however in some of our Zuiderzee-specimens this number amounts to 6.
With regard to the shape of the superior ligule in the parapodia of the posterior segments, perhaps it could be concluded from the figures of Ehlers (pl. XXII, fig. 21), that with NV. succinea this lobe is more developed in a horizontal direction and that the dorsal cirrus is hardly ex- tending beyond the tip of the ligule. However I believe, that the imperfectness of this figure must be ascribed to the rather indifferent state of preservation of the worm;

for, as already stated by Leuckart, it could also be observed | in the Norderney-specimen, that in the posterior segments of the body the dorsal cirrus is more and more reaching the tip of the ligule and finally projects a good deal bey- ond it. Along the inferior border of the elongated ligule I observed always a series of dark coloured glands.

Comparing the figures of parapodia, taken from a Zuiderzee-specimen of JV. succinea with those from NV. Perrieri, published by de Saint-Joseph, one will not hesitate about the identity of both species. Consequently the conclusion that one of our northern Annelids should have such an unusually limited geographical distribution, as hitherto is ascribed to Nereis succinea, can no longer be maintained.

NOTE XX.
ON A BHAWANIA-SPECIMEN, A CONTRIBUTION TO QUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHRYSOPETALIDAE
BY
Dr. R. HORST.
(With plate 9).
Amidst sponges, recently collected by my friend Mr. P. J. Buitendyk in the bay of Batavia, I met with a Polychaete- worm, obviously belonging to the genus Bhawania of Sehmarda '). Though I cannot give full information about its structure, because I had only a single specimen at my disposal with its head so far withdrawn that it was quite invisible, nevertheless I think the present communication not without interest, since Schmarda’s description is rather incomplete and there still reigns a good deal of uncertainty about the affinity of the paleae-bearing Polychaetae.
It is a slender, flattened worm, measuring 25mm. in length and 1'/, mm. in breadth; the body is only slightly tapering at its anal extremity and has about 175 segments. Its colour is yellowish gray with a somewhat paler dorsal border and a median row of black spots at the ventral side; moreover there is a couple of black patches at the base of each foot, forming along the sides of the body a narrow dark band, The dorsum is entirely covered by the paleae (fig. 1), which are arranged in slightly bent transverse rows, with the concavity directed forward; this concavity increases towards the head and on the anterior segments

the rows nearly have the shape of a circle. Each row consists of a left and a right half, each containing in the middle of the body 20 paleae; the median ones of both sides are partly stretching over each other in the middle of the back. The paleae differ somewhat in size in different regions of the body, and in the same row the lateral ones are the longest and extend a little beyond the others. As rightly stated by Ehlers *) these paleae show a great resemblance with the scales of the butterfly-wing; they consist (figs. 2 and 3) of a shaft, entirely hidden in the dorsum, and a broad distal division. The shaft, measuring about a third of the total length of the bristle, is faintly knee-like bent and becomes somewhat broader in its upper beneath the cuticula lying portion.
The distal portion of the bristle has an longed spoon- hike shape, with an arched surface, its convex side being turned upward; its margin is plain, except at its median side, that is bluntly serrated. Both sides of the palea do not have the same structure. Its convex side (fig. 2) shows three strong, longitudinal ridges, one in the middle and one on both lateral area’s; the spaces between these ridges are densely beset with small round tubercles, that assume a more transverse shape towards the distal end of the bristle. The concave side of the palea (fig. 3) possesses 14 to 15 delicate, longitudinal veins, the median ones of which are prolongating into the shaft; the area’s between these veins show a fine transverse striation, like as observed in the shaft of most compound bristles, The paleae have a yellowish hue (by transmitted light) except at the tip, which is colourless; in some of them I observed moreover 6 to 7 pale narrow, transverse bands, dividing the total surface in as much transverse fields. The distal portion of a palea measures about 0.25 mm. in length and 0.08 mm. in breadth. :
The paleae of Bhawania are much agreeing with those

of Chrysopetalum '), however in these worms the total margin of the bristle is serrated and there occur only 5 longitudinal ridges on its dilated portion. The paleae of Paleanotus *). too, as far as can be concluded from Schmarda’s incomplete figures, have a similar appearance; on the contrary the long paleae (»spinose dorsal bristles’? Mc. Intosh) of Palmyra *) differ considerably and have a quite other feature.
Outward from the row of paleae and separated from it by the dorsal cirrus, the notopodium bears a fascicle of elongated, spatulate bristles with a pointed tip and a short shaft (fig. 4); they show the same fine transverse striation as the underside of the paleae, but it is usually masked by foreign matters adhering to them. A yellow, faintly bent acicula occurs at the base of this fascicle. Chrysopetalum appears to lack this dorsal. fascicle; however in Paleanotus it is probably present (Schmarda, loc. cit. p. 163).
The neuropodium contains a fascicle of compound bristles, much resembling those of Nereis (fig. 5). The stalk has at its distal extremity a forked cup, much higher at one side than at the other, in which a falcate appendix is articulated, that ordinarily is provided with hairs along its concave border; in some of them this terminal piece is twice as long as in others. Moreover in the dorsal portion of the ventral fascicle there occurs a couple of setose bristles (fig. 6), the distal region of which is also furnished with fine hairs along its margin. This fascicle is likewise sup- ported by a yellow acicula. In Chrysopetalum as well as in Paleanotus the ventral fascicle contains also compound bristles; Palmyra on the contrary has simple, forked ven- tral bristles.
All segments of Bhawania are provided with a dorsal cirrus, situated outward from the row of paleae and almost as long as these; it consists of a cylindrical basal

segment and a tapering distal part, nearly of the same length. This terminal portion is provided on its surface with small tubercles and shows in its basal region several strongly refringent glands. The ventral cirrus like- wise is articulated, but it has a short conical basal segment; its distal part is dilated at the base and contains also numerous glands. A pair of slender anal cirri are present, extending somewhat beyond the posterior segment.
Whether our Batavia-worm is specifically distinct from the Bhawania myrialepis of Schmarda, from Ceylon, is not easy to decide. The dimensions of the last-named species are much greater, its length being 63 mm. and its breadth 4mm., whereas the number of segments amounts to 220; the paleae are of a gold-colour mixed with red, and the belly is reddish brown. Regarding the head Schmarda states: it is small, provided with five antennae of the same length and wants the eyes; but I have some doubt, that his description as well as his figure is not exact, perhaps because he could not clearly distinguish it, like as in our specimen. On the contrary the cephalic lobe of Paleanotus agrees with that of Chrysopetalum in the presence of 3 antennae and 2 pairs of eyes.
For a longtime there reigned a good deal of uncertainty about the real characters and the systematical position of Palmyra, because, as rightly stated by Racovitza’), the’ descriptions of the different authors were very divergent and discrepant. By the investigations of Grube *) and Me. Intosh we now have a better knowledge of the structure of Palmyra aurifera and it is proved by these authors that Palmyra is distinguished from Chrysopetalum and Palea- notus (and Bhawania?) not only by another structure of the head (stalked eyes, a single unpaired antenna) and by the parapodia having simple ventral bristles, but also by

the presence of scales'). Mc.Intosh has been the first, who demonstrated that Palmyra possesses smooth, diaphanous scales, that were overlooked by Savigny, by Audouin and Milne Edwards and by Grube. Considering that Palmyra moreover agrees with Pontogenia in the appen- dages of the head (stalked eyes, unpaired antenna), in the shape of the ventral bristles and of the cirri with their slender terminal part, then in my opinion there can nomore remain any doubt, that Palmyra belongs to the A phrodi- tidae, as supposed by Savigny, and cannot be united with Chrysopetalum, Paleanotus and Bhawania in the same family. Therefore the family of the Palmyridae cannot longer be maintained and, as already suggested by Hhlers, it is desi- rable to use instead of that the name of Chrysopetalidae.
This family may then be characterized as follows:
Body short or elongated, with few or numerous segments, all bearing on their dorsal side a fan or a transverse row of paleae. Cephalic lobe provided with tentacles and eyes’). Buccal segment with two or four tentacular cirri on each side. Parapodia uniramous or biramous, with dorsal cirri upon all segments. Compound ventral bristles.

Mediterr. (Nice, Porte-Vendres); Adriat. (Quarnero) ; Madeira.
1) About the distribution of the dorsal cirri there still reigns some uncer- tainty; whereas Grube says that they appear alternately as with the Aphrodi- tidae, according to Mc. Intosh ,,they occur both on feet provided with scales and on those without them.”
2) I suppose that the palps in Paleanofus have been overlooked by Schmarda.

Dr, E. D. VAN OORT.
In the following lines I enumerate some birds of New Guinea, which our Museum received in the course of the year 1908. Mr. C. L. J. Palmer van den Broek and Mr. P. J. van Cloven presented to the Museum two small col- lections of birds, unfortunately mostly unlabelled, which are said to have been collected respectively near Fak-Fak and near Kaukas, western New Guinea, south of the Mac Cluer Gulf. As there are among the skins from Fak-Fak three unlabelled specimens of Schlegelia wilsont and among those from Kaukas one Geoffroyus personatus rhodops and two Myristicivora melanura, also unlabelled, it is quite sure, that not all the specimens are from the given localities. Of course I mention only those birds, which are provided with a label, but in some cases, regarding rare species, | mention also unlabelled specimens.
From Mr. J. Henkelman we purchased a collection of birds, that are collected on the Owen Stanley Mountains, eastern New Guinea, shot above 3000 feet, some specimens on Mount Victoria at 12000 feet of altitude. Several species are important acquisitions to our collection. Three forms are described as new subspecies.

Falco severus, n°. 9), belonged indeed to a new form, an eastern representative of Falco severus Horsfield. The other bird however, that, which Sharpe called the adult female (being a male, collected by Dr. E. A. Forsten in 1842 on Ceram), belongs to quite another species, is namely a me- lanistic Falco lunulatus Latham (Falco lunulatus, Schlegel, Cat. n°. 7). The two birds from Mount Victoria agree with Sharpe’s typical specimen from Halmahera, only the black longitudinal stripes on the undersurface are a little broader ; this may be however a difference of age.
The lighter, western true Falco severus Horsfield (syn. Falco aldrovandii Temminck, F. rufipedoides Hodgson, F. severus indicus Meyer & Wiglesworth) is found from British India to the western Indo-Malayan Archipelago, whereas the darker, eastern race, Falco severus religiosus Sharpe, inhabits the Moluccas, New Guinea and the adjacent islands. Intermediate forms we have in our collection from the Philippine Islands (Falco guttatus G. R. Gray) and from Celebes.

Of Rallicula leucospila Sal- vadori (Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, VII, 1875, p. 975) we have only one specimen, a male, shot 27 January 1876 at War- mendi, Arfak district, purchased from A. A. Bruyn in 1878.

One specimen. Kaukas. Coll. van Cloven. — This specimen has the upper and under wingcoverts distinctly edged with greyish. The distribution of rubiensis is not clear to me; possibly it may not have a subspecifical rank. The type- specimen of Columba pinon Quoy & Gaimard was shot on Rawak, a small island north of Waigeoe. In the des- cription the authors say nothing as to greyish edgings to the wingcoverts, but on the plate the wingcoverts have less distinct edgings (Voyage autour du monde, Zoologie, 1824, p. 118, pl. 28). We have no specimen from Rawak, but four specimens from Waigeoe, which have no distinct edgings to the upper wingcoverts. From Salawatti we have two specimens, one of them having a faint indication of edgings to the upper and also to the under wingcoverts. Among seven specimens from the Aroe Islands two have also the upper wingcoverts faintly edged with greyish. Three specimens from northwestern New Guinea (Amberbaki, Dorei, Andai) have upper and under wingcoverts very faintly edged with grey; the same is the case in two specimens from Sorong, one from Skroe and two from the Triton Bay. Nine specimens collected by Mr. H. A. Lorentz along the Noord River, southern New Guinea, are without light edgings to the wingcoverts, while two specimens collected by Dr. J. W. R. Koch at the Etna Bay are true rubiensis, having very distinct light greyish edgings to upper and under wingcoverts. According to Rothschild and Hartert both pinon and rubiensis occur also in eastern New Guinea.

I separate here the form, which occurs on the mainland of New Guinea, south of the MacCluer Gulf under the name of intermedia. The type-specimens are three birds, collected by Mr. K. Schidler at Skroe, west-coast of New Guinea, south of the MacCluer Gulf, viz.: a male and a female (?) shot 17 January 1897 and a female(?) shot 26 February 1897. This subspecies differs from Cyclopsitta desmarestii Garnot, from Dorei, by the brighter vermilion-orange pileum and hindneck, by the smaller occipital blue spot, which is sometimes absent, by the smaller and paler, rather greenish blue suborbital spot, which spot is larger than that in occidentalis and more pure blue. The cheeks are green with orange tips to only a few feathers, the earcoverts are green, not golden yellow as in occidentalis, all the feathers with orange extremities.

The young bird (Skroe, 26 February 1897) has the cheeks green with yellow shaftstripes, much resembling desmarestit, but the subocular spot is smaller and more greenish blue and the blue occipital spot is wanting.
Of Cyclopsitta desmarestii and subspecies we possess the following specimens:
a. Cyclopsitta desmarestii (Garnot).
9 specimens from Dorei and from Arfak (collected by Wallace, Hoedt, von Rosenberg and Woelders).
b. Cyclopsitta desmarestit intermedia Oort.
7 specimens from Lobo Bay (8. Miiller coll.), Skroe (K. Schadler coll.), Kaukas (and Fak-Fak).
c. Cyclopsitta desmaresti occidentalis (Salvadori).
5 specimens, 2 from Sorong and 3 from Salawatti, collected by Dr. Bernstein. The specimens from Salawatti are much brighter coloured on cheeks and earcoverts than those from Sorong. More material probably will show that specimens from these two localities are constantly differing.
d. Cyclopsitta desmarestii blythi Wallace.
- 4 specimens from Misool, collected by Wallace, Bernelot Moens and Hoedt, and one specimen without locality pre- sented by van Musschenbroek. The two specimens collected by Hoedt are young birds; they have large bluish green subocular spots. The bird presented by Bernelot Moens, an old specimen, has under each eye a light green feather, In the specimen collected by Wallace the subocular spot is quite wanting.

The male of Psittacella madaraszi is much like the male of Psittacella modesta Schlegel (Ned. Tydschr. Dierk. IV (1871), p. 36), so that the first seems to be a subspecies of the latter; the females however differ so considerably, that we must consider them as two species.

Two adult specimens. Evidently from Fak-Fak. Coll. Palmer van den Broek.
Two adult specimens. Evidently from Kaukas. Coll. van Cloven. — Chalcopsitta insignis Oustalet is only a bright coloured subspecies of Chalcopsitta ater (Scopoli). It is nearly allied to ater bernsteini von Rosenberg, but all the red in the plumage is much more pronounced and the feathers of the neck and of the breast have red bases. Rump- feathers and upper tailcoverts are brighter blue than in bernsteini and the ends of the breastfeathers are dark pur- plish blue. Under wingcoverts, innerwebs of quills and ti- biae are red. The type-specimen of insignis is said to come from Amberpon Island, off the westcoast of the Geelvink Bay. I have little doubt, that our specimens are from the mainland of New Guinea, south of the MacCluer Gulf. (Iris yellow with grey; van Cloven.)

Chin and throat dull brownish white, breast brownish olive with lighter shaftstripes; vent and under tailcoverts sandy brown with rosy tinge. Back, wing- coverts and tail dull green, quills blackish.

I think it better to use for this species the name novae-guineae instead of atricapilla, as the latter name can give much confusion.

©. Like the male, but feathers of the mantle with distinct light shaftstripes; chin, throat and foreneck pale ferrugi- neous, not orange-rufous as in temminckii; no black spots on the sides of the foreneck.
Wing 87, tail 73, culmen 12.5, tarso-met. 33 mm.
This subspecies is nearly allied to Orthonyx temminckit novae-guineae A. B. Meyer, from which it differs by the less pure white of the undersurface, which has a more mottled aspect; by the more brownish olive rump, which is In zovae-guineae more rufous like in temminckit, and by the pale coloration of the throat and the foreneck in the female, which is in the female of novae-guineae orange- rufous. In the latter form the rufous on the foreneck is also less extended.

One adult specimen. Mt. Victoria, 12000 ft. Coll. Henkelman. — Our specimen agrees tolerably well with the description in the Catalogue of Birds by Seebohm. The feathers of the crown and of the nape have however no conspicuous subtermi- nal ochraceous spots; the basal half of the inner webs of the secondaries and of many of the primaries is not pale buff, but pure white. This form seems to be very nearly allied to Oreocincla heinei Cabanis, of which it is only a sub- species or with which it is very probably identical. I leave open this question, as we have no more specimens oy papuensis and no specimens of heznez.

Pitohui kirhocephalus in our collection provisionally obscwrus, for I then could not unite these specimens with Rhectes decipiens Salvadori, as his description ,,rufo-cinnamomens, subtus valde pallidior,” does not agree with our examples, the colour of the underparts being not ,,rufo-cinnamomeus, valde pallidior” but much more ,aurantio-ferrugineus.” There is no doubt, however, Salvadori’s decipiens and my obscurus are the same, for in the description of Pitohut kirhocephalus (Lesson), which has about the same coloration on back and underparts, Salvadori speaks also of ,rufo- cinnamomeus, subtus valde pallidior.”’

NOTE XXII.
A NEW AND CURIOUS BURMESE ASCALAPHID FROM THE GENOA MUSEUM (GLYPTOBASIS SPINICORNIS)
BY
Dr. H. W. VAN DER WEELE.
(With 2 text-figures).
Some time ago Dr. R. Gestro at Genoa communicated to me for determination a small collection of Ascalaphidae, made by the late Leonardo Fea in Burmah. As that part of my recently appeared »Monographie der Ascalaphiden”’ (Catalogue des Collections Sélys, 1908) was then already printed, I publish here the description of the single new and very curious species in this collection.
Glyptobasis spinicornis, nov. sp.
Nearest related to Gil. denti- fera Wlk. from India by the coloured tips of the wings in the QO, but larger, about as large as Acheron trux WIK.
Antennae reaching about to ~
the pterostigma, black, in the © straight and simple, in the very curiously shaped in the basal fourth (fig. 1), which is S-shaped. The basal part is very stout and slightly curved outwards, com-
posed of long joints that bear =
very short and feeble bristles at the articulations (somewhat remembering the antennae of the o& of the brasilian genus Orphne).

246 GLYPTOBASIS SPINICORNIS.
The following part is almost angularly curved inwards and bears two large, equal, sharp spines at the innerside; the rest, which is nearly straight, bears three feebler spines at its base, which increase very distinctly in size towards the tip.
Head black, with dense black villosity on the face and between the antennae. Vertex and occiput yellow. Hyes bronzy.
Thorax and legs black with black villosity, the yellow stripe on the dorsum is as in G. nugax W1k., the oblique stripe on the breast is cream to yellowish.
Abdomen in both sexes shorter than the hindwings, yellowish above, venter and sides black. The gonopoda of the © (fig. 2) have short and somewhat curved app. sup.,
Pig. 2. the tips of which are thick and broad with many short spines. The genitalvalve is more primitively formed than in the other species of this . genus and broadly pentago- \ nal.
The wings are more nar- rowly petiolated and broader than in dentifera and nugax. The pterostigma is pale brown to black, with 5 crossveins. The apicalfield has 3—4 rows of cells.
Nervature brown and dense.
In both wings are 8—l1 cells between the ramus obli- quus and the postcosta, in the hindwings this number is larger than in the forewings. Radialsector with 7—8 branches. Between cubitus inferior and hindborder are at the most 14 cells in one row in the forewing, in the hindwing 9 cells.) Membrane hyaline in the ©’, in the Q the tips of all wings have a brown quadrangular spot, which is of

Close to and much resembling P. lugubris Rits. from Nias (N. L. M. vol. XIV, 1892, p. 215), but smaller (measuring 26 mm. in length) and more vividly colored.
Above opaque, the smaller basal half of the elytra, how- ever, shining. — Head dark blue with green tinges, red in the middle beneath. 1st, 2nd and basal half of 3r¢ antennal joint dark blue, apical half of 3r4 joint and the 4th—7th joints yellow, the 7th spotted with black at the apex above, the subsequent joints black. — Prothorax red, front- and basal margins dark blue, the latter surrounding the coxae and invading the intercoxal part. Without any trace of spine or tubercle laterally ; the disk flat, strongly punctured, sharply separated from the sides as if it were a piece led in; the sides and undersurface finely, evenly and very densely punc- tured, forming a lustreless surface. Scutellum dark blue, with black pubescence. — Elytra metallic green, the smaller basal half bald, shining, rather densely punctured, the larger apical half opaque, very finely and densely punctured and covered with a short and very dense black pubescence; at one third of its length this black portion is crossed by a very narrow transverse band of a pale yellowish pubescence, touching neither the suture nor the lateral margins, and a similar though still more delicate pubescence is present on the shining green basal half just before the black pube- scence. — Meso- and metasternum and the abdomen steel- blue, the latter more greenish towards the apex and covered by a silky white pile, especially on the hindborders. The legs steel-blue, the femora strongly punctured, the tibiae more finely. The 5th ventral segment broadly and deeply - emarginate, the 6th broadly but less deeply.
Hab. Borneo: Mahakkam river. — The described male- specimen has been presented to the Leyden Museum by Prof. A. W. Nieuwenhuis, to whom I dedicate the species.

NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF MEGALOPTERA. 249
NOTE XXIV.
NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF MEGALOPTERA LATR.
BY
Dr. H. W. VAN DER WEELE.
About 8 months ago I finished my monograph of the Megaloptera (Sialidae) for the ,Catalogue des Col- lections Zoologiques du baron E. de Selys Longchamps.”’ Though the work is since ready for the press, it cannot yet be printed. As there are many new genera and species described in it and because other workers in this interesting family might describe them before my monograph has been published, I give here short descriptions of them in order to secure their priority.
This order of insects, separated from the other Neuroptera and especially from the Planipennia under the name of Megaloptera, contains two families: the primitive Sia- lidae and the much higher specialised Raphidiidae.

Gen. Corydalus Latreille (1802).
This name has the priority for Corydalis of the same author, the latter being two years younger. The following species are new:
Corydalus primitivus, nov. spec.
This new species remembers in form, size, colour and
pattern of the wings C. afinis Burm. and cornutus L. The nervature is not so dense as in the former and not so
open as in the latter species. Mandibles of the o’ mostly short, but when elongated they are nearly straight. The genitalia are rather primitive as the app. sup. are straight,

Habitat: Argentine Republic.
A series of 5 specimens in the Leyden Museum and one female in the collection de Selys.
Platyneuromus, nov. gen.
Characterised by the two broad dents of the very flat head and by the genitalia of the ©’. The type is Corydalis soror Hagen from Mexico.
Neoneuromus, nov. gen.
This genus is created for N. sikkimmensis Weele, fene- stralis Me. Lachl. and latratus Mc. Lachl. with their sub- species.
Gen. Chloronia Banks (1908).
Banks only indicates it as a name, giving no descrip- tion. He enumerates corripiens Wlk. in it, which species I accept now as the type. N. hieroglyphicus Ramb. is a second species. I give here the short description of two new species.
Chloronia meridionalis, nov. spec.
Nearest related to corripiens Wlk.
Antennae black, the basal fourth yellow. Body yellow, tips of mandibles and spot between the ocelli black. Pro- notum with two short, black, longitudinal lines in the anterior half and two ditto in the posterior one, which latter are more removed from one another than those in the anterior half. Legs yellow, knees darkbrown. Abdomen yellow.
Wings pale yellowish grey. Nervature brown, the cross-

veins black. In the forewings there are fuscous streaks or points along the hindborder to the tip as in corripiens, and also similar points in the cells between the branches of the radialsector. In the hindwing are only three small fuscous points between media and radialsector visible in the first cell.
The genitalia of the of are similar to those of corri- piens, the app. inf. are very different and the genitalvalve is more like that of hieroglyphica. The penis much remem- bers that of corripiens, but it has two small tubercles as in bogotana, but much smaller.

One male from Minas Geraés, 14 November 1900, Ken- nedy coll., is in my collection in the Leyden Museum.
Chloronia bogotana, noy. spec.
Nearest related to corripiens Wlk., but much resembling hieroglyphica Ramb. in the form of the penis and in the coloration of the wings.
Antennae yellow. Head reddish yellow, tips.of mandi- bles and two longitudinal lines on the occiput, black. Prothorax with traces of dark spots in the anterior and posterior angles. Meso- and metathorax and abdomen of the same colour. Legs luteous brown, the last tarsal joint shining black above, the knees of the anterior legs dark- brown, those of the other legs paler.
Wings with yellow membrane and nervature, the cross- veins nearly all black, only paler in the posterior wings. The discal crossveins of the forewing are broadly margined with a pale bluish grey colour, that also is to be seen as spots in the cells. Costalveins, the crossveins at the origin of the media and those distalwards from the cubiti are deep black. The hindwings have paler crossveins and the dark spots are absent.
INotes from the Leyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
254 NEW GENERA AND SPECIES
The genitalia of the male remember by their elongate clubbed app. inf. and by the curved app. sup. those of corripiens. The genitalvalve also is similar, but the penis is more like that of hieroglyphica, as it consists of two digitiform hairy prominences.

Protohermes davidt, noy. spec.
Much resembling P. albipennis (Wlk.) from India, but larger, with much denser wingnervature and also very dif- ferent in the genitalia of the male,
Body luteous. Tips of mandibles and the spot between the ocelli, black. Antennae black, the two basal joints luteous, with a brown annulus in the middle. Prothorax with a broad, black streak at each side. Mesothorax with two black spots. Legs luteous to fuscous.
Wings large and very broad, with yellow nervature, which becomes brown towards the apex and borders; there are no well-defined pale spots. In the hindwings the yellow nervature occupies only about the half, in the forewings nearly two thirds of the wing. In the latter the postcosta and cubitus inferior with adjoining nervature are fuscous. The crossveins are very numerous and the number of costalveins in the forewing can increase to 46, in the hindwing to 39. |
The gonopoda of the male are yellow. The app. sup. are broadly triangular with rounded tip. The genitalvalve consists of two divergent acute triangular prominences, which are as long as the app. sup. The app. inf. are short, clawlike, with black tips.

Hermes sumatrensis, nov. spec.
Nearly related to maculipennis Gray and probably a sub- species of it, but differing by the apical spots of the wings, which are about twice larger than in that species and about one half of those of maculifera Wlk. The creamwhite spots of the forewings are all isolated, more numerous and some- what larger than in maculipennis. There is no basal cream- coloured spot at the hindborder of the forewings, only two isolated round spots represent the reminiscences of it. In the hindwings this spot is much larger, about as large as in maculifera, and it reaches the anal angle, so that it is about one and a half larger than in maculipennis. In the middle it has a long apical prominence and it occu- pies about the basal half of the wing.
As the © is stiJl unknown, it may be that there are no differences in the gonopoda with maculipennis or maculifera, which both species it seems to connect.

Hermes maculifera tonkinensis, nov. subsp.
Very similar to maculifera, but the wings are relatively broader, the white spots less numerous, but larger.
Notes from the Lieyden Museum, Vol. XXX.
256 NEW GENERA AND SPECIES
The basal white spot of the hindwings also occupies nearly half the wing, but in the anterior part there is an isolated large white spot, which is always connected with the basal patch in maculifera. On the hindborder the white colour surpasses the anal angle much farther, but the dark colour is not gradually increasing in breadth, but ends with an acute prominence in the basal patch.

Hermes selysi, nov. spec.
Probably only a local form or subspecies of maculifera from which it differs in the following points:
About one third smaller in size. Spots in the forewings very small, pointlike, the apical] spots relatively half so small, only somewhat larger than in swmatrensis. In the hindwings the basal spot is very small and irregularly trapeziform; it reaches about to the middle of the anal- border and is not connected with the other spot.
The female has the pronotum black, but in a specimen that may be a damaged male it is of a light orange colour without indications of black spots.
Body @ 25 mm., forew. 25—382 mm., hindw. 23—29 mm. Abd. Q 10 mm., gr.br. 9—11 mm., gr. br. 83—1] mm.
Habitat: Sylhet and Assam.

Somewhat larger than typical sinensis-specimens and characterised by the milky hyaline membrane on which the dark pattern is very distinct. The oblique band of the forewing is larger and mostly connected with the dark ante-pterostigmatical spot. In the hindwing it is narrower, nearly equal in breadth or gradually pointed towards the hindborder.

Subfam. SIALIDINAE,
This subfamily only consists of one tribe, the Srax1y1, which contains only two genera: Sialis and Protosialis.
Protosialis, noy. gen.
Body and wings more slender than in Stalis. Colour of the body black with orange. Antennae in the male thick and pilose, in the female thin and naked.
Wings elongate and narrow, elliptical, with dark mem- brane and thin nervature, so that the latter is not so distinct. The costal-area is not enlarged before the middle but gradually narrowed. The costalveins have an oblique direction, not a vertical one as in Sialis. The radialsector has two branches, the first of them being one-forked, the second simple and as long as the last simple end of the radius. In Sialis these last two branches are always forked.
Habitat: North- and Central America, Cuba and Chile.
The type of the genus is S. americana Ramb., and other species of it are mexicana Banks, bifusciata Hagen and chilensis Mac Lachlan.

This species belongs to the nearest related of fuliginosa by its external characters, size ete.
The costa is black at the base, the two markings on the occiput are somewhat divergent and the wings are more or less dark smoky brown.
The genitalia, however, are very different and as the female only is known, there is an interesting resemblance with infumata Newm. from N. America, as the hindborder of the 7th sternit bears a small semicircular excision in the middle. The 8th sternit is a solid piece with straight hindborder and broadly bilobed frontborder. The first bears in the middle a hyaline hexagonal piece, which has a small distal knob.
Habitat: Japan.
I examined three females from Japan in de Selys’ col- lection, and in the Museum of Paris and of Leyden. The male is unknown.
