 numerous lines of opake white epidermis.

 Eelix Butleri, tar., Ifeiffer. 



Eab. Island of Luzon, Philippines ; Coming. 



This species appears to be distinct firom E. Butlen, 

 both in form and in the character of its epidermis. It 

 was procured by Mr. Cuming from the mount*ins of thr 

 Erigotes, an imdvilized tribe dwelling in neat hats, in a 

 part of Luzon as yet unconquered by the Spaniards.
