The Fossors and their prey were recorded in the following 

 table, the notes being taken from the French and Portuguese 

 of the labels on the specimens or from the common labels 

 written by the collector and pinned beneath two or more 

 specimens. " Nid "' had been taken to mean burrow, inas- 

 much as the species belonged to the groups which were well 

 known to dig in the ground. Dr. R. C. L. Perkins had further- 

 more kindly examined the specimens and was sure, from their 

 structure, that all except one were fossorial in habits. The 

 one for which this evidence was not clear was the Podiiim, 

 which on other grounds, viz. its prey, consisting of several 

 cockroaches, was also sure to be fossorial. ^Vhen there is 

 no reference to the burrow it is to be inferred that the prey 

 was being carried or dragged by its captor. In most cases 

 it was stated on the label that the Fossor had been captured 

 with its prey.
