Drxon—Wotes on Depastrum Cyathiforme. ~183 
pl. 3, figs. 8-11), by Allman to Carduella cyathiformis (Quarterly 
Journal of Microscopical Science [1860], vol. vili., p. 125, pl. 5, 
fis. 1-6), by Gosse to Depastrum cyathiforme (Ann. & Mag. Nat. 
Hist. [1860] vol. v., p. 481), are due to the variations to be met 
with in specimens of different ages and sizes, and to the variability 
of habit exhibited by the animal. This view has already been 
suggested by H. James-Clark (Journ. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 
[1863] vol. vi., p. 550, n. 
SCIEN. PROC. R.D.S., VOL. VIII., PART ii. 0
