C. americana.'' 



* There is no doubt that the Palirmon anophthalmtis Kollar, Sitz. Ber. 

 Akad. Wiss., Wien, I, 1848, p. 137, from the caves of Kompoljska and Portis- 

 kavez in Carniola is the same species as Troglocaris schmidti. As there is no 

 published description by Kollar, the name anophthahnus cannot be employed. 



" C. americana is a somewhat doubtful species, but certainly it is closely 

 allied to C. typus.
