  response 
  to 
  an 
  inquiry 
  concerning 
  this 
  species,. 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  J. 
  Arrow 
  

   writes 
  : 
  "As 
  to 
  Paussotropus 
  there 
  appears 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  mistake, 
  * 
  * 
  *. 
  The 
  

   type 
  specimen 
  bears 
  the 
  locality 
  "Batchian," 
  but 
  this 
  evidently 
  incorrect, 
  for 
  we 
  have 
  

   since 
  acquired 
  two 
  specimens 
  taken 
  by 
  Dii 
  Boulay 
  in 
  West 
  Australia 
  and 
  one 
  labeled 
  

   "Adelaide." 
  * 
  * 
  * 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  very 
  remarkable. 
  The 
  eye 
  is 
  nearly 
  

   circular 
  and 
  placed 
  laterally, 
  its 
  anterior 
  edge 
  just 
  reaching 
  the 
  front 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  

   head, 
  but 
  the 
  declivity 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  elevated 
  immediately 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  eye 
  and 
  forms 
  

   a 
  peculiar 
  cup-shaped 
  lobe 
  as 
  seen 
  from 
  the 
  side."
