DESCRIPTION OF ANOTHER NEW REGULOIDES. 389 



species. Mr. Doig's list (S. ¥., VII., 503) included 4 

 species, to which I added 4 others ; 8 in all. Now this present 

 list of Capt. Butler's adds 8 species, and 1 doubtful one. 



Our total therefore up to date is 378 ascertained species and 

 13 doubtful ones. 



These 13 are as follow. No doubt as time goes on, the total 

 will not fall short of 400, but we now have to rely mainly on 

 my friend Mr. Doig, as we have unfortunately for Sindh lost 

 Capt. Butler.
