 that C. gigas is but a greatly enlarged form of C. brevicornis. See 

 also American Naturalist, May, 1883, p. 49^, where I have expressed 

 a similar opinion regarding the American form. 



A part of the original description of C. ingens is here given. 



Thorax large; abdomen rather slender; stylets slender, with the 

 lateral seta well towards the end; second and third setae alone long, 

 weakly pectinate; last joint but one of abdomen sometimes toothed 

 along the distal, under margin; jaws with large teeth; antennae very 

 short, not reaching to the base of the first cephalothoracic segment; 

 formula —^-^ — r- — ^^^--^ww^^rr; fifth foot two-jointed, the 

 proximal joint very broad with a strong spine; second joint cylindri- 

 cal with a long seta and a very short spine near the end; oper- 

 culum vulvae somewhat heart-shaped; egg-sacs oval-elongated, 

 reaching beyond the end of abdomen; length 4 mm., including 

 stylets and setae.

Is said to be elongated and slender; the antennae are nearly as 

 long as the first three segments. The fifth foot is like the smaller 

 forms of the above, but the second joint has only one spine. The 

 proportions of the caudal setae are very much as in the above. 



Rehberg denies that Sars' identification of this species so briefly 

 described by Claus is correct; his description is therefore copied. 

 Sars refers also with a query to C. obsoletus, Koch.
