486 ADDITIONAL NOTES ON PERIPATUS LEUCKARTI. 



specimen from lUawarra), There is one of sucli areas between 

 the legs of each pair except the last, but more frequently in 

 addition there is a second one in front of each of these. They are 

 sometimes larger than at others, but they occur in both sexes. They 

 are placed chiefly in the furrows but the paleness extends also on, 

 to the ridges. Mr. Dendy calls attention to them, and Saenger 

 also evidently noticed them for fig. 31 of PI. xiii., illustrating 

 his paper is a figure showing a ventral view of so much of the 

 hinder portion of the body as includes the last two pairs of legs, 

 and a reference line marked gm points to what is evidently intended 

 for the pale area between the legs of the last pair but one. The 

 explanation of the figure is in Russian, but Professor Stephens 

 has kindly translated that portion of it relating to gm as "bare 

 spots observable between each pair feet in medial line." I am 

 unable at present to throw any light upon the subject of their 

 import.
