no. 343S) incidentally mentioned but not described by Peters. 

 Tonies's description of E. schoe'tisis was based on two 8])ecimens 

 ticketed Gambia and acquired by him at the dispersal of the Mu'^cum 

 of the Zoological Society, and on one in the Paris Museum received 

 from Gaboon together with the specimen described by Tomes as 

 E. franqueti. The Gambia cotypes are probably no longer in 

 existence ; in any case they are not in the Tomes Collection lately 

 acquired by the British Museum. Also the Gaboon specimen 

 appears to be lost; the writer has not found it in the Paris Museum 

 nor even any record of it in the old or new registers of the OhiroT)tera 

 of tliat collection. Gambia may be fixed as the type locality of the 

 species.
