creeping puds, although both adjacent pads are deeply emarginate 

 at this point. 



Integument. The folds number twelve to each segment dorsally, 

 but the hyaline lines between them are broken frequently to include 

 a small or medium-sized papilla which is placed directly in a lanceo- 

 late, island-shaped spot in the position of the inter-rugal furrows. 

 The primary papillae are always inserted close to the center of the 

 folds and are usually very well differentiated from the accessory ones 

 which are very small and placed on the sides of the folds. The papil- 

 lae of intermediate size are placed near the center of the folds, but 

 not so regularly as the large ones and are often situated halfway to 

 the margin; they do not appear regularly between each pair of large 

 papillae as two or even three or more large ones commonly occur in 

 continuous series. The large primary papillae have a rather uniform 

 large circular base and taper evenly to a rounded tip. 



Coloration. The color in life is uniform dark purple. 



Type locality. Furcy, Haiti. Beneath a pine log in a little hollow 

 below the trail along the ridge, about one mile from the chapel. 



Mr. Mann, who observed the color of the living animal, adds that 

 it "was living two hours after capture, when it was fixed." 



Peripatus manni, sp. nov.

9 • Resembles Peripatus sedgwicki Bouvier, but the number of the 

 smaller primary papillae is even less than in that species. The large 

 primary papillae are widely separated as in sedgwicki and the accessory 

 papillae extremely reduced in the same way. The color is totally 

 different from that of sedgwicki or any other Caribbean species as 

 the body is dark purple, with a bright orange spot on each side of the 

 head. 



Form ami dimensions. The type, which is evidently not completely 

 grown, is slender, 17 mm. in length. There are thirty-one pairs of legs 

 of the usual form for the group. 



Integument. The folds number twelve to each segment and are of 

 very regular width on the dorsum. The furrows between the folds are 

 extremely well marked, being wider than usual, which results in mak- 

 ing the elevated portions unusually narrow. The large primary pa- 

 pillae are set very far apart along the ridge of each fold with a smaller
