Description of Species. 



Genus Edwardsia (Qua tref ages). 



1. Edwardsia tricolor (nom. nov.), Farquhar, 1898. 



This species (fig. 1) was described by Farquhar under the name 

 Edwardsia elegans. I have changed the specific name to 

 tricolor, the name elegans having been 

 in use for another species since 1849. 

 Mr. Farquhar has fully described the 

 external appearance of this species, so I 

 shall only briefly state my own obser- 

 vations. The body is brown, wrinkled, 

 and covered with a rough cuticle, which 

 is thin at the upper end. It is marked 

 longitudinally by 8 double brown lines. 

 There is a strong constriction between 

 body and capitulum. The lower part of 

 the capitulum is bulbous, and is divided 

 into 8 segments by double 'white lines, 

 continuous with the brown lines of the 



C'^v^/ scapus (fig. 2). In colour each segment 



is brown, with a large white spot. 

 Fig. 1. Above this is a narrower white portion. The tentacles
