I have found that the genus Clathria of Schmidt pos- 

 sesses distinct , often very numerous anchors and hows ; 

 so it is to be placed under the Desmacidinae. But not 

 all the species , described by Schmidt , belong to the same 

 genus. Prof. Oscar Schmidt was so kind as to send me 

 original specimens; unhappily he had not specimens of all 

 his species , and so the question remains undecided as re- 

 gards CI. 7'ectaiigidosa.
