As Dr. J. J. Smith has come to Europe for a few months 

 and brought a fresh number of monstrosities from Buitenzorg, 

 we have had a favourable opportunity to examine them 

 together and to offer a continuation of our descriptions of 

 March 1914. On this occasion we desire to express our sincere 

 thanks to Mr. C. A. Backer, Mr. J. Demmeni, Mr. Dommers, 

 Mr. Dumas, Mr. K. Gjellerup, Miss von Hertling, Mr. E. Jacob- 

 son, Mrs. H. Jeswiet-Hagedoorn, Mr. Ch. Joseph, Mr. Mousset, 

 Mr. D. VAN MuLLEM, Mr. A. Rant, Mr. J. Schuller tot Peur- 

 suM, Mrs. Stolk, Colonel Visser and General de Voogt for their 

 interest in our work, which is apparent fi-om the specimens 

 they have had the kindness to send us.
