Obs. — The type specimen was collected by one of us [R.H.P.], and the 

 others by Mr. Chas. Danver-s Power. Included among the latter is one that 

 has newly cast its skin, and its predominant colour is pale green. The species 

 displays some little variation in the yellow abdominal markings ; in some 

 examples they are broad, in others narrow. A. tjracilis is common around 

 Sydney. It may be looked for oi\ both sides of the harbour. Some years 

 ago one of us [W.J.R.] took it in the vicinity of Mi's. Macquarie's Chair 

 and on the site where the power-house now stands at Rushcutters' Bay.
