  The 
  single 
  female 
  from 
  Newport 
  is 
  placed 
  here 
  with 
  some 
  doubt 
  on 
  

   account 
  of 
  its 
  divergence 
  from 
  the 
  others; 
  and 
  all 
  the 
  specimens 
  have 
  

   been 
  dried 
  after 
  long 
  immersion 
  in 
  alcohol, 
  bleaching 
  the 
  colors 
  to 
  some 
  

   extent, 
  and 
  contracting 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  parts.
