BRUES: TWO NEW FORMS OF PERIPATUS FROM HAITI. 521 



papilla usually, but not always, placed between adjacent larger ones. 

 The large papillae do not form distinct lines parallel with the longi- 

 tudinal axis of the body except for a line on each side of the median 

 dorsal line. On each side of the median line is an even series of large 

 papillae, so that there is a narrow dorsal longitudinal band along the 

 body which is devoid of papillae. The larger primary papillae have a 

 small cylindrical base, with the apical portion much enlarged, while 

 the smaller ones are short and but little enlarged apically. The 

 accessory papillae are extraordinarily small. 



Coloration. The color in life as observed by Mr. Mann is dark 

 purple, almost black, with an orange spot on either side of the head. 



Type locality. Furcy, Haiti. Mr. Mann has also furnished the 

 following notes on the habitat of the single specimen: — "Taken be- 

 neath a stone, in red clay soil, on the trail leading to Furcy, about a 

 mile and a half from the settlement. The altitude of Furcy is given 

 at 1500 and 1730 metres by different authorities, and this location 

 is about 30 metres lower. Beneath the same stone were numerous 

 phalangids and centipedes. The individual was very delicate, dying 

 a few moments after being placed in the collecting box".
