  Cephalophula 
  doria,

  Including 
  :

   Doria, 
  zebra. 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  above 
  forms, 
  a 
  species 
  called 
  Cepha- 
  

   loplius 
  emini 
  has 
  been 
  described 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Noack. 
  The 
  hairs, 
  

   for 
  samples 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  to 
  Prof. 
  Noack, 
  are 
  

   much 
  thicker 
  than 
  in 
  any 
  species 
  of 
  this 
  group, 
  and 
  most 
  

   like 
  those 
  of 
  Ourebia. 
  It 
  is, 
  of 
  course, 
  quite 
  impossible 
  to 
  

   give 
  a 
  definite 
  opinion 
  with 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  status 
  of 
  this 
  

   species 
  without 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  actual 
  specimen.
