■• Firmisternia. Believing the arciferous or raniform sternal structure to have about 

 equal systeuatic value with the presence or absence of teeth, I have separated the 

 toothless families with raniform sternum under the name of Firmisternia. It is not 

 impossible that this group may turn out to bo inseparable from the Gastrechmia. The 

 toothed Aglossa must be distinguished on the same principle from Pipa, and the sub- 

 order is accordingly named Odontaglossa.
