animal discovered in the Aru Islands by Mr. Wallace; it chiefly 
ers from his specimen in the colours being brighter and more 
vetas d — ge parts which are rufous in the young beng 
red-bay in the adult. 
"Prof. Schlegel, in "pon * Nederl. Tijdschr. Dierk.’ vol. iii., describes 
the adult animal under the name of Phascogalea Thorbeckiana, ard 
Pi to the younger one as P. Wallacei (Gray). (See Record Zool. 
ii. p. 43. 
The examination of the skull of the adult animal shows that the 
skull described and figured in the Proc, Zool. Soc. 1858, p. 112, tab. 
64, is that of an animal with milk-teeth, while the teeth of the adult 
skull are very like those of Phascogale and Antechinus: they agree 
with the teeth of Antechinus apicalis in the third false grinder on 
each side being much smaller than the preceding teeth; but it differs 
from both se S gets in not having any small third false grinder 
the lower ; the true grinders in both jaws are more like those 
of ropes ‘aan Phascogale.

GENTLEMEN,— In February 1869 I published my identification of 
certain leeches sent to me for examination from the neighbourhcod 
of Horsham ; andi in May of the same year Mr. Gedge mentioned, in 
the ‘ Annals,’ having found in his note-book a memorandum of 
some having been sent to him, in the preceding January, from the 
same locality. I have now the pleasure of recording my having 
found this leech in the ditches of the Beddington sewage-irrigation 
farm of the town of ae m 
where it has been four weeks, with the exception of a few hours 
spent in an envelope in my pocket. Iam told that these leeches 
are also abundant on the other sewage farm belonging to the town 
of Croydon at Norwood. 
Iam ee aman 
The Waldrons, Croydon. Your obedient Servant,
