and species, hut, while supplying illustrative figures of the 

 latter, he gives it no name. Milne-Edwards, after describing 

 the genus under an altered name, assigns to it first a new 

 species, L. rcynaudii, and then secondly distinguishes Thomp- 

 son's species, for which he supplies the name trjims, in a 

 footnote misquoting Thompson as authority for the generic 

 name Leucifcr. Milne-Edwards speaks of his L. rcynaudii as 

 being about 4 inches long. His enlarged figure of it, however, 

 only measures 3 inches, and a line indicating the natux-al size 

 is 14 mm. long, not very greatly in excess of Dana's measure- 

 ment for the same species. Dana adds three species to the 

 genus — L. acestra, pacificus, and acicularis. The first of these 

 is regarded by Faxon as probably identical with L. rcynaudii, 

 and the second is made a synonym of L. typus by Bate, who 

 says {loc. cit. p. 448): "So far as I can determine, there are 

 only two species of Lucifer." Later Hansen states that there 

 are four species preserved in the Copenhagen Museum.
