a. Part of the head. 



h. The neck. 



* It seems to nic very doubtful whether this space, which occupies the sides 

 of the head, both above and below, does really represent the eyes, its quadran- 

 gular shape and levigated surface do not favour that idea, and it is too near the 

 occiput. See Plate II, Fig. 2. e. and 3. 



f Mr. Guilding, in the particulars he has added to my original description, 

 and of which I have, in most cases, availed myself, describes the neck by the 

 term latum, and his figure so represents it ; but in my specimen it is not so 

 •wide, and rather longer in proportion, (Fig. 4.) so that it must either be a dis- 

 tinct species, or perhaps the other sex.
