[I have retained this description, not thinking it would be right to omit it 

 altogether, but it is probably not a good species. Mr. Matthews had written at the 

 top of his original description " immature 135," and this number refers to S.jlari- 

 icntre. Among the specimens returned to Mr. Lewis, there is nothing named 

 S. ochraceum; but there is an immature specimen among those of S.flaviventre.
