with long black hairs as well as a few white ones, in this 

 respect resembling C. feredayi. But from C.feredayi it dif- 

 fers in the colour of the lower surface of the hind wings, 

 and in the male and female being unlike, as in C. salustius. 

 The following is the synonymy as well as references : — 



Chrysophanus feredayi.

Art. III. — Note on the Distribution of some Australasian 



Collembola. 



By Arthur Dendy, D.Sc, Professor of Biology in the 



Canterbury College, University of New Zealand. 



[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 7th November, 



1900.'] 



Some years ago I sent specimens of some large Collembola, 

 collected in Tasmania and New Zealand, to Sir John Lubbock 

 (Lord Avebury), who kindly examined them and published 

 descriptions of them in the " Proceedings of the Linnsean 

 Society of London" (Zoology, vol. 27, p. 334). Unfortu- 

 nately, a slight error seems to have crept in with regard to the 



* In both' the last descriptions there is a misprint. On page 274, 

 line 4 from the bottom, the word " female" should be omitted.
