Specimen Examined : 



I (46 mm.).i James I., Galapagos Is. Sci. Exped. Research Assoc. 



{" St. George "}. 



I have examined no mature examples of this species, and the above description is 

 based on the notes made by Col. Tenison from the 3 type-specimens, said to be males, 

 preserved in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, one of which is figured here. B. 

 constellatus is very doubtfully distinct from B. leopardinus.
