Tho only species of Glessvla thut I luive certainly from Bombay 

 Island is G. noiigena (Bs.)' some specimens of wliicli were obtained l)y 

 myself. I have . another species marked " Island of Bombay," but I 

 did not procm-e it myself, and it h possible there may be a mistake 

 about the origin of the only specimen I possess. 



iiVmc/iw p<ndrt/'(« is found throughout a large area iu the Bombay 

 Presidency, but the occurrence in Bomljay Island of E. hengalensis, 

 the representative Bengal form, is, I strongly suspect, dne to that 

 species having been introduced. The ova or young might easily have 

 been broucrht with plants. It is not improbable that Bidiminits insidaris 

 which, as Mr. Pelle points out, is an inhabitant of a drier climate than 

 that of Bombay Island, may also have been unintentionally imported 

 by man.
