Liiperus scutellatus Jac. and Malacosoma donMeri (P. Z. S. 1897, 

 pp. 568, 569). 



The locality for both these species, which has been left out, is 

 Madagascar. 



Hemixantha piceipes Jac. 



Tig. 6 in Plate xxi. of the P.Z. S. 1899 represents a variety of 

 this species, not H. terminata as erroneously given. 



Longitarsiis africanus Jac. (P.Z. S. 1897, p. 555). 



Of this species more specimens have kindly been sent by Mr. 

 Marshall, which prove the insect to vary greatly iu coloration ; some 

 of the specimens are piceous above, and others nearly black, with 

 the apex of the elytra fiavous ; I may also add to my original 

 description, that the last joint of the antenuae is in nearly every 

 case fuscous. 



(EdionycJiis natalensis Baly. 



This species is identical with Physodactyla africaua Dej. 



(EdionycJiis rur/icollis Jac. 



(EdionycJiis africana Jac. : this species is an Eutornus, and the 

 specific name must be altered to clarki on account of Eutornus 

 africanus Clark. 



Both these species, on account of their short and robust 

 antennae, should find their places in Eutornus Clark.

Prof. Bell drew attention to a collection of Land-Planarians 

 made by the Society's Corresponding Member, Dr. Goeldi of Para. 

 These, like many other collections of Land-Planarians, had been 

 confided for description to Prof. Graff, and some of them were 

 the types of new species described by that author in his magnificent 

 monograph. The collection before the Society had been sent to
