Port North (north-west corner of West Falkland), 

 17. i. 1910, " on a rock, having been driven by the rising 

 tide from a mass of decaying Macro cystis." 



By desire of the collector and donor, to which the author 

 has much pleasure in acceding, this remarkable species has 

 been named in honour of the late Professor H. N. Moseley, 

 F.R.S., who many years ago met with what was probably the 

 same fly when he visited the Falkland Islands as a naturalist 

 on board H.M.S. 'Challenger'* 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



Correction of Generic Name. By C. Fokster-Cooper, M.A., Univer- 

 sity Demonstrator in Comparative Morphology, Cambridge. 



Owing to the kindness of Dr. C. W. Andrews, of the British 

 Museum, and of Prof. Trouessart, of Paris, I learn that the generic 

 name Thaumastotherium proposed for a new genus of Perissodactyles 

 in this Journal (No. 70, 1913, p. 376) is preoccupied. 



The generic name Baluchitherium is therefore proposed as a 

 substitute.
