5. SEPTEMCiNCTUS. p. 51. J)as i/jjus {= Tcitu axict.). 



Linnean references: Amcen. Acad. i. p. 281, and Syst. ISTat. 

 (6) p. 6, no. 6 ; but in the latter we are again referred to 

 the former. Thus the synonymy may be excluded and 

 primary importance given to the species described. This 

 is said to be still in the Upsala Museum. 



Seven-banded Armadillo. 



Type locality not known. 



6. NOVEMCINCTUS. p, 51. Dasypus. 

 Linnean references : Mus. Ad. Frid. p. 6, and Syst. Nat. (6) 



p. 6, no. 7, but in the latter no further detail is added 

 and we must take the former alone. 

 Nine-banded Armadillo. 



Prof. Einar Lonnberg informs me that the type specimen is still 

 preserved in the Stockholm Museum, and this will need expert 

 examination whenever an attempt is made to woi-k out the 

 present difficult group.

 from the latter work.
