material goes, engnmis is alw^ays separable, at least by the brighter 

 colour of the mantle, from geminorum, but certain individuals of 

 c/emitiorum are iu every respect indistinguishable from some speci- 

 mens of lepidiis aud cagai/anus, and the same is the case with 

 certain individuals in the series oi enganwa \ in other words, though 

 apparently always separable from each other, geminonim and 

 enganus are so intimately related to the forms inhabiting the 

 islands on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula as to be some- 

 times indistinguishable from these.
