Systematic Position of Zeledonia coronata. 5 



is of considerable breadth, but near the lower third of the 

 breast the outer border of the tract becomes suddenly eraar- 

 ginate, and is continued forwards from this point as a narrow 

 band to terminate in the region of the cloaca. Whether the 

 right and Left portions of this tract join in the middle line 

 in front of the cloaca I am unable to say, the specimen 

 from which the description was taken having been too much 

 damaged to settle this point.
