 life. The iiorthern representative has been described from 

 Lake Tsana in Abyssinia 4000 feet above the sea, but if it

 to a molluscivorous diet hke its relative at the seashore and 

 waters of southern Africa has not been stated in the original 

 description. 



Since the above was put in print I have had the plea- 

 sure of receiving the following communication thanks to the 

 kindness of Mr. Oldfield Thomas : »the teeth of L. capensis 

 meneliki as well as the muscular attachments, clearly indicate 

 that this species belongs to the large L. capensis gronp. The 

 teeth of L. c. meneliki are broader than those of L. c. hindei, 

 and the muscular attachments stronger».
