From the small number of specimens of the Wallichian U. setacea 

 which I have seen, and their rather imperfect condition, I may err in 

 determining it to be identical with the Khasia species. Of the latter, 

 however, I have had an abundant series through my hands ; and upon 

 these my description rests.
