I'lie above sjiecies has been referred by modei-n authors to C. C'/jiri.-,-, it however dillrra from 

 it in so many particulars tliat, witliout evidence of their identity, it would be rash to consider it a 

 variety of that species ; in all probability, if we possessed more accurate localities for this and 

 several other nearly allied species in this genus, we should find that they were confined to a more 

 limited area than is at present accorded to them.
