This is a synonym of (S'. ranthnsoma, Turn. (Tr. R.S. 

 S.A., 1898, p. 93) a species which is locally abundant in 

 North-western Australia, from which it has been received from 

 several collectors. I received my type from Mr. Georsfe Mas- 

 ters, the Curator of the Macleay Museum, and if I am not 

 mistaken Mr. Lower received an example from the samie 

 source before he published his description. 



I think the evidence I have given is sufficient fco show 

 that Mr. Lower's localties are not always accurate, and that 

 the scientific worker will be acting with commendable caution 

 if he refuse to base any conclusions on such data except in so 

 far as they have been corroborated bv other observers.
