1. The material left by Professor Balfour. This comprised 

 a large number of the Cape species collected by Mr. Lloyd 

 Morgan and by the late Mr. Oakley of the South African 

 Museum, and some specimens of the New Zealand species col- 

 lected by Professor Moseley and Professor Jeffrey Parker. 

 Balfour also had fourteen specimens from Caracas, sent him, 

 I believe, by Professor Ernst, and oue specimen from South 

 Africa, of the exact locality of which I am ignorant, with 

 twenty-two pairs of legs. This specimen was found by 

 Mr. Mansel Weale, and given to Balfour by Mr. Wood 

 Mason. 



2. A large number of specimens from the Cape, collected partly 

 by myself in 1883, and brought to England alive, and partly by 

 Mr. C. Stewart, of the Royal Hotel, Wynberg, who in the 

 winters of 1884-85 sent me a large additional supply of live 

 animals collected on Table Mountain. I am under great 

 obligations to Mr. Stewart, not only for these specimens, 

 but for the great help which he gave me when I was at the 

 Cape. 



3. A large number of living specimens from Wellington, New 

 Zealand. These are the only specimens of this species which 

 have ever been brought to England alive, and I owe them to 

 the kindness of two gentlemen, who were personally unknown 

 to me until they began to help me in my Peripatus work. Mr. 

 Noel Barraud, of Wellington, at the request of my friend Mr. 

 G. E. Anson, M.A., of Trinity College, began to hunt for 

 Peripatus, and was successful in finding them. His specimens 

 were, after two unsuccessful attempts, brought to England 

 alive by Mr. Edgar J. Evans, chief officer of the Shaw, Savill, 

 Albion Company's magnificent steamer " Tainui/" The first 

 two lots all died soon after leaving Rio Janeiro, but in the 

 third attempt Mr. Evans was successful in finding a place near 

 the cold chamber, where the temperature in the tropics was 

 not too high for the animals. Since the third attempt Mr. 

 Evans has been successful every voyage. My most sincere 

 thanks are owing to both of these gentlemen, who, though not 

 specially interested in natural history, have put themselves to
