MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM 



In the paper on the Scisenidse of Japan, by Jordan and Thompson, the 

 name Scicena argentaia is accepted from Houttuyn for the species called Scicena 

 bleekeri by Steindachner. On fuller comparison we are obliged to reject 

 Houttuj^n's trivial description as inadequate and unidentifiable. The Japanese 

 species from Tokyo, in question, however, cannot be Scicena bleekeri, which is 

 an Indian species. It must apparently receive the substitute name, suggested 

 by Dr. Doderlein, of Scicena yeddoensis.

This si^ecimen from Chinnampo, in much better condition than the original 

 type, agrees with it in all essential respects.
