nature," and so on ; however, this matter is unimportant and need 

 not be dwelt upon. 



The points respecting Delias ithiela and Terias sari may be easily 

 settled ; the types of both being in the collection of the British 

 Museum, Mr. Distant, who is often able to visit that institution 

 during the year, should neither have trusted my opinion as to the 

 probable locality of the former nor Mr. Moore's identification of the 

 latter. It is no excuse to say, when an error has been committed, 

 " I did but copy the error of my friend ;" it certainly reminds one 

 of the ancient inhabitants of Paradise, but not in their happiest 

 condition. 



In answering what I thought a sufficiently clear statement 

 respecting T. senna, Mr. Distant seems utterly to have missed the 

 point — that the T. santana and T, senna, of Pelder are species allied 

 to T. dro7ia, or, if he prefers it, are local races of T. drona, and 

 have next to nothing in common with Terias inanata. My identifi- 

 cation of T. senna is the same as it always has been, for Mr. Distant 

 himself proves, by reference to my paper of 1871, that I then re- 

 garded it as possibly a variety of T. santana ; he must therefore be 

 mistaken when he says that he examined specimens of T. inanata 

 and T. semui in the national collection and failed to see any diff"er- 

 ences, since the most unskilled lepidopterist would see them at a 

 glance. 



Lastly, in my note on T. cesiope I begin by the distinct statement 

 that " Por some years past this species has been entirely misunder- 

 stood ; " therefore what I or any one else regarded as T. cesiope in 

 1879 is entirely beside the mark as an excuse for figuring the 

 *' true T. cesiope " under the name of T. Jiecabe. The typical, and 

 therefore " true," T. cesiope being a Chinese species and not occur- 

 ring ('so far as is known) in any part of India, the locality " Conti- 

 nental India " is not correct. If my statement on this head was1)f a 

 misrepresentative character, I regret that it was made ; but until I 

 read Mr. Distant's explanation I always supposed that this truly 

 "somewhat Avide " one was intended to rank with others separated 

 by the same stop, thus: — "Continental India; N.W. Himalaya; 

 Bombay ; " &c. I am not aware that I have anywhere remarked 

 that Mr. Distant has figured as T. (esiope a variety of T. Jiecabe ; 

 what I have stated is that he has figured the male T. asiope as 

 T. hecabe, var. a. 



The Nerve-terminations in the Pedicellarice of EcJiinida, their Sense- 

 organs and Olands. By Dr. Otto Hamann. 

 Nerve-terminations have not hitherto been described in the pedi • 

 cellaria3 of the Ecbiuida, nor indeed elsewhere in their bodies. The 

 only statement as to a supposed sense-organ has been made bj'^ 

 Sladen *, who observed upon the inner surface of the three valves 

 of gemmiform pedicellarioe in Sphcerechinus granularis cushion-like 

 elevations, which have since been seen also by later observers, such 

 as Koehler f. The latter observer says : — " It is possible that these
