380 Mr. J. E. Gray on some species of Cercolabes. 
This species is exactly intermediate between Cytispora and 
Spheropsis, scarcely agreeing with either genus ; resembling the 
former in its delicate perithecium and oozing spores, and the 
latter in its simple cavity and spores. In both these points how- 
ever an approach is made to Cytispora, therefore the predomi- 
nance of characters points to this rather than the other. Nema- 
spora grisea, Corda, is we believe a young Diplodia.

XXXIV.—On the species of Cercolabes confounded under the 
name of C. prehensilis. By J. E. Gray, Esq., F.R.S., Pres. 
Bot. Soc. &e. 
Mr. Wareruovss in his ‘ History of Mammalia’ observes, that 
C. prehensilis “is frequently met with in Brazil and Guiana, and 
it occurs likewise in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a district of Bolivia, 
in which nearly all the mammalia are identical in species with 
those of Brazil,” ii. 411. Further on he proceeds to describe 
a specimen in the British Museum brought from Bolivia by 
Mr. Bridges. 
When Mr. Waterhouse made these observations the specimen 
was not stuffed, and he could not examine the skull; since that 
period the skull has been removed, and I think its examination 
proves that the Bolivian species is perfectly distinct from those 
which are received from Brazil. 
It may be thus defined :— 
1. Cercolabes prehensilis. Brazilian Coendon. 
Black and white varied. Quills white, with a broad subtermi- 
nal reddish brown (or black) band; under part of the body and 
upper part of the base of the tail whitish, under part of the base 
and end of the tail dark brown; whiskers slender, black to the 
base ; upper cutting-teeth smooth in front. 
Young. Fur reddish with a few scattered spines. 
Hab. Brazils, adult and young. 
Var. ? On spines and under part and end of tail black. 
Half-grown ? 
Hab: Spanish Main. 
2. Cercolabes Boliviensis. Bolivian Coendou. 
White, slightly black varied. Quills white, with a rather nar-
