unsatisfactory from several points of view. The chief cause of this is prol)ably tliat these autliors 

 have paid attention to too few characters. 



A new classification of this family seems to me absolutely necessary and should be carried 

 out as soon as possible. It may perhaps seem premature to attempt to do this at this early 

 stage, as our knowledge of the species belonging to this group that have previously been 

 described is very incomplete in most cases on account of the incompleteness and obvious 

 uncertainty of these descriptions. In spite of this I thought it best to make the attempt.

'"" "'""'"• fan only be considered as a provisional one, is as follows: — 



Genus Asterofe: —

The number of species included in this genus has been considerably restricted. 

 Ill addition to the species described by me below the following forms probably belong 

 to this genus:
