Luperus scutellatus Jac. and Mctlacosoma donkieri (P. Z. S. 1897, 

 pp. 568, 569). 



Tbe locality for both these species, which has been left out, is 

 Madagascar. 



Hemixantha piceipes Jac. 



Fig. 6 in Plate xxi. of the P.Z. S. 1899 represents a variety of 

 this species, not //. terminata as erroneously given. 



Lonyitarsv.s africanus Jac. (P.Z. S. 1897, p. 555). 



Of this species more specimens have kindly been sent by Mr. 

 Marshall, which prove the insect to vary greatly in coloration ; some 

 of the specimens are piceous above, and others nearly black, with 

 the apex of the elytra flavous ; I may also add to my original 

 description, that the last joint of the antenna is in nearly every 

 case fuscous. 



(Edionychis natahnsis Baly. 



This species is identical with Physodactyla africana Dej. 



(Edionychis rvyicoUis Jac. 



(Edionychis africana Jac. : this species is an Eutomus, and the 

 specific name must be altered to clarki on account of Eutomus 

 africanus Clark. 



Both these species, on account of their short and robust 

 antennae, should find their places in Eutomus Clark.

Prof. Bell drew attention to a collection of Land-Plauarians 

 made by the Society's Corresponding Member, Dr. Goeldi of Para. 

 These, like many other collections of Land-Planarians, had been 

 confided for description to Prof. Graff, and some of them were 

 the types of new species described by that author in his magnificent 

 monograph. The collection before the Society had been sent to
