 I have little doubt that these two specimens belong to this species, the type 

 specimens of which were collected at Rambha, Lake Chilka. They agree generally 

 with the description and figures given by Mr. Collinge. The surface is nearly smooth, 

 being very finely granular, and the irregular rugosities on the head are not very dis- 

 tinct. The colour (in spirit) is a light olive brown, with the usual lighter markings 

 near the median line. 



Cubaris granulatus, Collinge. 

 Fig. 33. — First leg of male. Fig. 34. — Seventh leg of male. 



The dense mass of setae on the third and fourth joints of the thoracic append- 

 ages described by Mr. Collinge are found only in the male, and on the anterior legs. 

 One of my specimens is a male and shows these setae well developed on the merus 

 and carpus of the first leg (fig. 33), nearly all of the setae being bifid or trifid at the 

 extremities. In the second leg there are similar groups of setae on the two corres- 

 ponding joints, but they are not quite so numerous as in the first leg, while in the 

 third they are still less numerous and are hardly more noticeable than the ordinary 

 setae on the succeeding pairs of legs, as shown in fig. 34, which represents the seventh 

 leg. 



The other specimen is a female and shows only the ordinary number of setae, 

 even on the anterior pairs of legs.
