All the Litoceri described in this paper have been selected 

 from a large number of specimens ; and, after repeated examina- 

 tions, I have seen none that can be considered intermediate or 

 doubtful ; it will be, however, as well to recollect that the colo- 

 ration of individuals of the same species varies considerably, — 

 isolated spots in one specimen, for instance, becoming, by their 

 connexion, bands or stripes in others ; and, again, the spot may 

 disappear or be reduced to a line or point, and a complication 

 is the result, which differs in that respect very widely, perhaps, 

 from the description.
