A SINGLE spccimon ot" a small fomalc chaiiu'loon, wliicli I 

 tlicii retened provisionally to Chanueleon biutniatus, Fischer, 

 was presented by Sir Harry Johnston to the British Museum 

 in 1901. Further specimens which have since come into my 

 hands induce ine to regard this chameleon as the type ot" a 

 new species, for wliich 1 would propose the name of 



Chameeleon rudis. 



Differint; from Ch. bifcvniatiis in the coarser scaling and in 

 the much longer scales forming the gular and ventral crest,

 of the orbit. Uniform blackish olive. 



From snout to vent 52 mm. ; tail 47. 



I hope later to give a detailed description antl figure of 

 this chameleon, which has been briefly alluded to by Mr. J. L. 

 J\lonk, 'Zoologist/ IDOiJ, p. ^24, as likely to prove a new 

 species.

To the Editors of the ' Annals and Magazine of Natural History.' 



Gentlemen, — Prof. Clark, of Cambridge, U.S.A., has kindly called 

 my attention to a blunder in the synonymy of Solaster 2Mpposus on 

 I)age 89 of my ' Catalogue of British Echinoderms ' ; as it refers to a 

 common species, perhaps you will allow me to correct it. The 

 specific term papjiosa was first used for a starfish by Linnteus in 

 the ] 2th edition of the ' Systema Natura?,' page 1098, so that its 

 date is 1767. I have no palliation to off'er for the blunder.

A Correction. 



Paramilionia rubroplagata, B,-B,, ante, p. 345. 



I wish to withdraw this name, inasmuch as it falls under Sangala 

 gloriosa. Some little time ago I bought from a soldier who had 

 just returned from one of the "West- African expeditions a few 

 insects, nearly all Lyctenidas, but among them were two specimens 

 of this moth. I referred carefuUy to several of the most important 

 Old-World collections and could not name them. Hence I
