 teeth, and is narrower and longer, apjiroachiug hha(ja a little iu dentition. We do 

 not venture to explain when these J-segmeuts were stuck on, and whence they 

 came ; but their presence is in so far of interest as they show that the armature of the 

 penis-sheath is either individually or geographically variable. Further material must 

 decide which alternative is correct, but it seems to us that the difference will turn 

 out to be geograjihical, as onr two New Guinea individuals are far more red beneath 

 than the type of molticm.
