//a/j._Uralla, N.S.W, (Mr. G. McD. Adamson). 



This termite differs from the other members of the genus in 

 having no ocelli, but the wings are so typical that I hesitate to 

 remove the species from the genus Cnlotermes. 



This species is rather common in the Uralla District, Mr. 

 Adamson having sent me several families taken in Decemljer in 

 dead stumps and logs, with the winged termites in their galleries. 

 Of two different lots from different nests, one has the soldiers 

 darker coloured and somewhat lai'ger, but otherwise they agree.
