second figure is more correct tlian the first ? 4th. Points I 

 lay great stress upon are the difference in size of the giiathopods

 It is in form as a hood, from the inside of which rises a 

 conspicuous sharp spine (see Cahnan, gnJ and gn.'^). 



The Phoxas simplex of Boeck (nee Bate) is a synonjm of
