smindersi, which is found together with the ordinary phase, 

 this is enlarged and bect)nies an ca-ect process witli a truncate 

 sunnnit, the mandible is very strongly compressed, curved 

 instead of straiglit, with its iraier edge smooth in the basal part 

 antl serratt^ t)nly towards the entl. In this phase the front 

 angles of the head are generally rather more acute than in the 

 ordinary form, \\\v front margin more nearly straight, the; 

 lateral angle of the ])i'()notum generally blunter, and the 

 prosternum more or less produced behind. 



These features, however, cannot be relied upon as constant. 

 S]iecimens have been found together with the common fm-m 

 both in India and Burma.

Types of baladeva and angulatus i]i tlie Hojie Department,

 Oberthiir's collection. 



This s])ecies is very conunon in the Darjeeling District during 

 Jidy and August. It is not, as was long supposed, the Lucanns 

 lama of Olivier, the original figure of which is a very bad one. 

 Examination of the tyjie specimen of that insect in the Paris 

 Museum has showii it to be, as Dr. Didier supposed, a female 

 of the Philippine Calcodes alces F. The name Neolucanus 

 maximus was given by Pouillaude to the large male phase 

 (saundersi) and small males were called angulatus by Hope. 

 The types of waterhousei Boil, and ollenbachi Did. are small 

 males of reddish colour, perhaps a little innnature.
