 ish tinge prevails. In the males of C. hrachyotis (some- 

 times too present in the females) the collar is much more 

 developed and generally redder colored than in male-speci- 

 mens of C. marginatus. 



The dimensions , in Millimeters, taken from about twenty 

 specimens of C. hrachyotis and several specimens of C. 

 marginatus vary as follows :

 1845) and presented by the latter to the Zoological Society's 

 collection. According to Dr. Dobsou (Catalogue, Indian 

 Museum, 1876) the type is an adult (ƒ preserved in al-
