  This

  this

  I 
  follow 
  Prof. 
  Perrier 
  in 
  using 
  Miiller 
  and 
  Troschel's 
  specific 
  name, 
  

   on 
  the 
  ground 
  that, 
  though 
  Graj^'s 
  name 
  hurtoni 
  has 
  the 
  precedence 
  

   by 
  two 
  years, 
  the 
  " 
  type 
  " 
  is 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  found, 
  and 
  the 
  description 
  is 
  

   useless 
  for 
  any 
  purposes 
  of 
  identification. 
  As 
  cepheus 
  is 
  obviously 
  a 
  

   proper 
  name, 
  I 
  prefer 
  to 
  use 
  it 
  without 
  making 
  any 
  alterations 
  in 
  

   its 
  termination.

  What 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  young 
  specimen 
  of

  was

  As 
  Prof. 
  Perrier's 
  description 
  would 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  based 
  on 
  a 
  single 
  

   small 
  dried 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  I 
  give 
  the 
  measure- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  two 
  specimens 
  preserved 
  in 
  spirit 
  : 
  —

  r=9,
