BRUES: A NEW PERIPATUS FROM COLOMBIA. 379 
One unusually large specimen (Plate 2, fig. 5-6) has the periphery of 
the papillae unusually well defined by a series of irregular non-pig- 
mented lines which form a noticeable network along the folds. It is 
possible that there may be one or more varietal or subspecific forms of 
edwards that might be distinguished. However, a close study of 
the material on hand, supplemented by other specimens in the M. C. Z. 
and in the American Museum of Natural History does not seem to 
offer any characters of sufficient constancy to warrant any such 
division.
