examined these specimens, new species of Ileleiom/x and 

 Dactylotus are present ; but, as they are partially digested, 

 their condition is not good enough to admit of their being 

 described. 



On examining all (he specimens of Cophophrijne sikkimeiisis 

 and Aeiuropliryne mammata in tiie British Museum, it is 

 now clear tliat they are not generically distinct. The tongue, 

 which is described as nicked in the former and entire in the 

 latter, may be very slightly nicked or entire in either species, 

 and the eusiachian tubes are vestigial and the tympanuuj 

 absent in both (vide text-fig. 2). The reason why these 

 orifices appear larger in Giinther's specimens of " Biifo 

 mammatUj'^ the types of the species on whicii the genus 

 Aeluruphrijne was founded, is that these specimens are in an 

 advanced stale of decomposition, and the bony openings are 

 therefore no longer padde<l and obscured by the usual buccal 

 linings. The choana', on the other hand, are somewhat 

 larger in ,1. niani/nata tlian in ('. aik/iutn/iais or C. ullicvla.
