 fuseocinereum maculis rotundato-angulosius, intensius coloratis 

 marmoratnm. Hac maculoe, in variis variog individuis, ad dorsi 

 latora inprimis conspiciuntur. A'enter albidns dilute fuscocinereus " 

 (Jaeger pp. 18 — 0). " Thier weizengelb, auf dem Eiicken mehrore 

 grosse, unregelmassige braunviolotte Flecke " (Selenka 1867 p. 

 339). " Im Leben ist die Grundfarbe des Piiickens gelblichgrau, 

 die Flecken sind sehr unrcgelmassig und zicmhch dunkelbraun " 

 (Sempek p. 79). " Dorsal surface auburn, with some largo spots or 

 bands of yellowish-white colour, ventral surface yellowish-white ; 

 here and there, especially along the sides of the body, a large darker 

 violet spot may be foimd witliin a light yellowish space. The am- 

 bulacral appendages have the shape of cylindrical pedicels, wliich, 

 however, are smaller on the dorsal surface. These pedicels are 

 supported Ity a well- developed terminal plate and numerous 

 transverse rods. Scattered among the dorsal pedicels other am- 

 bulacral appendages may be seen, which, being slightly larger 

 than the dorsal pedicels themselves, present an obvious conical 

 form, and may evidently bo regarded as papilte. These papilla} 

 are supported by a great number of rods, l)ut their terminal plates 

 are very reduced." (Thkel pp. 202 — 3). According to Selenka, 

 the pedicels have the end-plate but are entirely without support- 

 ing rods. " Fiisschen ohno Stiitzstabe, aber mit astigcn Korpern"

 biscuitartige Formen " (Selenka 1807, p. 339). SEMrEi; figures 

 very irregular, ratlier thick rosettes (Taf. XXX Fig. 10). Accord-
