the tail, tlieir length being in one specimen iiljout 1 mm., in tlie 

 other tlie spines are only half this length. Fourteen pairs of 

 enlarged tubercles on the dorsal surface of the tail. Between 

 the rings bearing these large tubercles are rings with generally 

 three to four rows of smaller tubercles, which are equal in size 

 to those on the dorsum. The second specimen has similar rings 

 of tubercles on the tail, which latter, however, appears to have 

 been reproduced. This is the first time that a specific locality 

 has been assigned to this species.
