10. Correction as regards the Ceylon Species of ‘‘ Phlebotomus.”’— 
In my account of the species of Phlebotomus that occur in Ceylon 
(Spolia Zeylanica, Vol. VII., Pt. XX VI.) I divided these species into 
two groups, distinguished by the relative positions of the tip of 
the first and the anterior fork of the second longitudinal vein of the 
wing. In my key on page 59 P. argentipes was placed by some error 
in the wrong group. The key may be amended as follows :— 
(1) The tip of the first longitudinal vein of the wing 
but little in advance of the anterior fork of 
the second longitudinal vein. 
(a) Colour silvery brown; the area of the 
wing paler than the anterior border ; the 
cox yellowish; the anterior branch 
of the second vein about twice as long 
as the distance between the two forks 
of the vein a .. P. marginatus. 
(6) Dorsal surface of the thorax dark brown, 
the sides yellow. The anterior branch 
of the second longitudinal vein less than 
twice as long as the distance between 
the two forks ee .. P. argentipes. 
(2) The tip of the first longitudinal vein far in 
advance of the anterior fork of the second. 
(a) Thorax brown; coxe yellowish; the 
whole of the wings paler than the 
abdomen. The anterior branch of the 
second vein about five times as long as 
the distance between the two forks .. P. zeylanicus. 
(6) Colour uniform, dull yellowish-gray. 
Wings very narrow ; the anterior branch 
of the second vein shorter than the 
distance between the twe forks .. P. babu.

ll. The Ceylon Jungle Fowl in Captivity—During the experi- 
ments carried on by members of the Ceylon Poultry Club with the 
Ceylon jungle fowl several interesting incidents occurred which are 
worth recording. The following notes record some of these incidents.
