distinctly pyramidal, the sides flat, yellow. Median segment 
coarsely irregularly reticulated, the reticulations wider in the 
centre of the segment; the posterior and supramedian ares 
united. Propleure strongly obliquely striolated ; the base of 
the mesopleure coarsely punctured, running into stout longi- 
tudinal striolations, except in the middle, where it is smooth 
on the lower side. Metapleure coarsely reticulated all over, 
its extreme base yellow, the yellow line broader above, 
narrower below. Areolet much narrowed at the top, being 
there not much more than half the length of the space bounded 
by the first transverse cubital and recurrent nervures. Four 
anterior legs fulvous, the cox and trochanters yellow, the 
front tarsi fuscous towards the apex; the hinder cox, basal 
joint of trochanters, the apex of the femora broadly, and the 
apical third of the tibia black. The basal half and underside 
of the petiole and the sides of the apex of the petiole yellow; 
its apex broadly raised in the middle, the sides of the raised 
part and the centre keeled, the sides with transverse keels ; 
the extreme apex of it smooth, the depressed sides irregularly 
transversely striolated ; the second segment irregularly reticu- 
Jated, more closely and less irregularly towards the apex. 
Gastroceeli smooth, yellow. ‘The apices of the second and 
third abdominal segments pale yellow, the third segment closely 
longitudinally striolated, the other segments impunctate, 
shining, their apices pallid yellow; the second segment 
broadly in the middle, and the apices of the others narrowly, 
pallid yellow.

L.— On the supposed Rediscovery of ‘ Moseleya”’ in 
Torres Straits. By S. Pacs, F.Z.S. Ke. 
AmonG the collections obtained by the ‘Challenger’ Expe- 
dition was ineluded a single specimen of a coral for which 
Quelch * founded the genus Moseleya, with the single species 
M. latistellata, Quelch. ‘This form, which until now has only 
been known from the unique type specimen in the British 
Museum, owes its great interest to the deductions which have 
been drawn as to the supposed relationship of the genus to 
the so-called Rugosa of Paleozoic times, and as to the affinities 
ot the latter group. Thus, Quelch placed Moseleya in the 
Cyathophyllide ; and even in the most recent work on corals f
