* [Tlie specimen obtained by our contributor was submitted for de- 

 termination to Mr. George Gray, who has most kindly compared it with 

 examples in the British Museum, and informed us that he could not 

 refer it to any other species, though some slight differences were ob- 

 servable. Can it be this species which has hitherto been taken for 

 O. tarda in Morocco ? — Ed.]
