Peripatus collected by Mr. G. Whitfield Smith on the Island of Car- 

 riacou. This is quite different from the Grenada species, but it is 

 impossible to identify it with certainty from the unique, evidently 

 innnature specimen. Although Carriacou is within sight of the north- 

 ern coast of Grenada, it lies rather low and its comparatively dry 

 climate is in great contrast to the very moist region in the higher 

 mountains of Grc^nada where P. harhourl occurs. 



In Trinidad Professor Thaxter obtained fine series of both species 

 hitherto known from that island; six males and seven females (M. 

 C. Z. No. 201-208, 211-214, 217), of P. {Epipcripatus) trinidadensis 

 Sedgwick, and two males and four females (M. C. Z. No. 209-210, 

 215-216, 218-219), of P. (Macropcripatus) torquatus von Kennel. In 

 addition there is a single female (M. C. Z. No. 200), measuring 88 

 mm. in length with 31 pairs of legs belonging to P. (Epipcripatus) im- 

 thurmi, a species hitherto known only from the mainland of South 

 America.
