POSTSCRIPT ON AUGOCHLORA. 



I found considerable difficulty in determining the specie? of Augo- 

 chlora described by F. Smith, especially as there was no indication 

 of the spur-character, which divides the species into two groups. I 

 wrote to Mr. E. A. Smith, suggesting that it would be a great con- 

 venience to students if the types in the British Museum could be 

 examined with reference to this character, and the result published. 

 With great promptness Col. C. T. Bingham, to whom this sugges- 

 tion was communicated, examined the types, and he has most kindly 

 sent me the report which I give below. — T. D. A. C. 



"The types of the following Augochloni are in the Museum, and 

 these I have carefully examined and have arranged them under 

 Robertson's two sections."
