is not referred to in Smitt's orlpnal work; but he subsequently 

 recorded it from off the West-Finmark coast, and pointed out 

 the differences between this species and his Fltistra memhra- 

 naceo-truncata. They may at once be separated by their avicu- 

 laria, which in the former are nearly circular and are placed 

 obliquely {vide Hincks, pL v. fig. 7) and in the latter are 

 oblong and are placed uprightly with respect to the zoarium 

 {vide Smitt, pi. xx. figs. 2, d). I have examined many speci- 

 mens of Smitt's species, including a type received from the 

 describer.

1. Theodosia Howittii (Csist.). 



Among some specimens of this fine species recently 

 received from Kina Balu, North Borneo, is a large male, 

 measuring 52 millini. from the tip of the prothoracic 

 horn to the apex of the abdomen ; the horn on the head is 

 more than 30 millim. long. Both horns are deep coppery, 

 tinged with purple.
