This is a peculiar little Eotifer that I found a single 

 specimen of. It has a carina along the back of its lorica, 

 and projecting from the front of this a horn-like spine. I 

 therefore called my specimen B. unicomuta ; but it had 

 already been described by Dr. Weber in his " Faune 

 Eatatarienne du Bassin du Leman " as Cozlopus porcellus. 

 It was, however, clearly not this species, and it is likely 

 that it will appear as B. or Calopus weberi in the mono- 

 graph of the Battulidce, that is about to be published by 

 Dr. Jennings, of America. 



Genus Coelopus. 



C. tenuior (H. and G., ii., p. 68) = Mastigocerca flcctocaudatus 

 (mihi). Trans. N.Z. Inst., loc. cit. 



C. brachyurus, Gosse (H. and G., ii., p. 69). 



Family Dinocharid^j. 

 Genus Dinocharis. 



D. inomata (mihi). Trans. N.Z. Inst., loc. cit. 



I have seen other specimens of this species, and find 

 them, in outline at least, and in marking of the lorica, exactly 

 like those from which I made my former drawings. 



Family Salpinid.2E. 

 Genus Diaschiza. 



D. tenuior (H. and G., ii., p. 81), found at Taieri Beach and 



Lincoln College = D. taurocephalus (mihi). Trans. N.Z. 



Inst., loc. cit. 



The variety tenna of my species is not sufficiently different 

 from tenuior to justify the new species. I have since found 

 tauroccphalus, and it is at least a very distinct variety of 

 tenuior.
