4. Ovicells springing from about half distal border of orifice. Vibracula close together through- 



out their length 7. C. angusta 



Ovicells springing from whole width of distal border of orifice, vibracular chambers usually 



not touching, grooves in contact ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 



5. Scutum with pointed distal lobe, a very prominent giant frontal avicularium below many 



of the bifurcations, its chamber narrowing to relatively small attachment, mandible 

 considerably longer than wide, other frontal avicularia not enlarged. Cryptocyst 



narrow and smooth 8. C. rostrata 



Scutum with blunt distal lobe, giant frontal avicularia below bifurcation rare, 1 not very 

 prominent, their chamber widening to broad attachment, mandible comparatively short, 

 sometimes many frontal avicularia moderately enlarged, cryptocyst extensive, usually 

 granular 4. C. darwinii

Harmer (1926) redefined Caberea boryi. 



Busk, as he himself recognized later (1884, p. 29), at one time confounded several 

 distinct species under C. boryi. Neither of his plates in the British Museum Catalogue 

 (18526, pis. xvi, xxxviii) represents true C. boryi (see C. zelandica and C. darwinii 

 below). Of his list of localities, Algoa Bay is confirmed by a specimen (99.7.1.304) 

 in his collection. The specimens from South Devon are not available, but doubtless 

 belonged to the British species, well known as C. boryi, whether it is Audouin 's species 

 or not (see Harmer, 1926). 



The material from Cumberland Island likewise cannot be traced. Harmer accepted 

 Busk's figs. 4 and 5 (pi. xvi) as C. boryi, and implied, in his synonymy, that they repre- 

 sented the Cumberland Island specimen. I have shown (p. 373) that they represent 

 C. zelandica, and were probably drawn from New Zealand material. It follows that 

 Harmer's conclusion that the Cumberland Island specimen was C. boryi was not 

 founded on good evidence, though not improbable on geographical grounds. When
