 specimens described by Haacke as R. vincentianus. 

 1. Embryo, 97 mm. long. 2. Nostrils and mouth of same 

 specimen, 9 mm. wide. 3. Egg-capsule, 74 mm. long. 

 4. Uterus, 77 mm. long, laid open to show interior.

 together with two of the uteri and two egg-capsules, 

 described by Haacke (loc. cit. p. 188), are still pre- 

 served, however, and have been forwarded to me for
