shining epidermis. The fasciculated leaves are very small, 

 somewhat glutinously rugulose, 1 or 2 lines long, scarcely 

 i line broad ; the terminal inflorescence has its spicated branch- 

 lets 6 lines long ; the calyx is broadly tubular, 1 line long, 

 cano-pubescent outside, divided halfway into five triangular 

 teeth ; the tube of the corolla is a trifle longer than the calyx, 

 cylindrical and pilose outside ; the pistil is as long as the tube 

 of the corolla ; the ovary semiglobose, seated upon the disk ; 

 the stigma, annular at base, is rather longer than the style, 

 conical, and divided at its apex into two short obtuse segments. 

 The glabrous fruit consists of two nucules, each 2-celled.

XII. — On Phidiana lynceus and Ismaila monstrosa. 

 By Dr. RuD. Bergh*. 

 [Plate I.] 

 The genus Phidiana^ Grray, may be thus characterized : — 



Phidiana, Gray. 



Corpus gracilius, elongatum. Ehinophoria perfoliata ; tentacula 

 elongata. Papillae dorsales in series obliquas confertas dispositae. 

 Podarium antice rotundatum vel subtruncatum. 



Marge masticatorius mandibulae singula serie denticulorum prae- 

 ditus. Hadula paucidentata, dentibus uniseriatis armata. 



This genus agrees, with regard to the structure of the rhi- 

 nophoria, with the more remote genus Antiopa, as well as with 

 FlahelUna^ Cuv., from which latter, however, it is easily dis- 

 tinguished by the bases of the papillae and by the produced 

 anterior corners of the foot in Flabellina j but the statements of 

 Dr. Gray and Messrs. Alder and Hancock, as to the occurrence 

 of lateral teeth in the latter genus, were not borne out by a 

 more recent examination of this point in a new species, Fl, 

 Semper I ^ Bgh. Facelina^ Aid. & Hanc, is also easily dis- 

 tinguished by the produced corners of the foot. Spurillaj Bgh. 

 (see the ^ Transactions of the Royal Danish Society of 

 Sciences,' vii. 1864, p. 205), forms an intervening link between 

 Phidiana and the more typical ^olididse, particularly ^oli- 

 diella^ a new genus, comprising as yet four species (viz. uF^. 

 Scemmeringii^ F. S. Leuckart, ^. occidentalism -^g^*? ^* ^P*? 

 JE. glauca^ A. & H., ^. Alderi^ Cocks), and which may be 

 thus characterized : — 



JEOLIDIELLA, Bgh. 



Forma corporis, rhinophoria, tentacula, papillae et podarium ut in 

 ^olidiis sensu strictiore.
