206 BB. J. a. BE MA.N ON THE POBOPHTHALMOFS 



created by Bell in his Moaograph of the Leucosiidse will not 

 stand the test of revision. The granulation of the upper surface, 

 even in the four Mergui specimens, is not equally developed, but 

 the cariniform median granulated line is distinct in all. In 

 three of them the median spine of the posterior margin is nearly 

 three times as long as the lateral spines, but in the fourth specimen 

 the three spines are about the same size.

A single male specimen was collected. 



I)o7'ippe quadridens, Fabr., is a common species, and is dis- 

 tributed throughout the Indian Ocean, the Malayan Archipelago, 

 along the coasts of Australia, and in the seas of China and 

 Japan.

A very young specimen in the Collection appears to be allied 

 to D. granulata, de Haan, with which, however, I do not venture 

 to identify it, as I do not know whether Z>. granulata occurs in 

 the Bay of Bengal.
