' The evidence adduced by Lonnbero; (Ann. Mag. ?fa(. Hist. (7) i. pp. 8H-87, 

 189S) in favour of his view that the Scorpion described by De Geer as/, macit- 

 latas is the 8. caropcBus ot the 10th ed. of the " Systenia ' appears to me to be more 

 cogent than tlie evidence in favour of the identity of Scorpio maiirns and 

 Scorpio ai'.siraUs of the latter work. Yet Kraepeliu in hia * TierreicU ' accepts 

 the two last, but rejects S. europceus.
