 which he was at Patipolla (middle of October) , but that some of the adults were 

 brown in colour and had apparently not been long hatched. 



3. E. COMPTONI, var. 

 In a series of three specimens from Bulutota which are preserved in the Colombo 

 Museum collection only one agrees in size with either of the preceding forms. This 

 is equal to the largest specimen I have seen of E. comptoni var. flachi from Patipolla. 

 The other two are very unequal in size, and the larger of them is much smaller 

 than the smallest specimen of the series from Patipolla. Until a larger series is 

 available it is impossible to be certain how these Bulutota specimens ought to be 

 regarded, but it is probable, I think, that the species E. comptoni will eventually be 

 found to vary in size in the same manner as Episphenus indiens and certain other 

 species (see below, p. 262), and that even var. flachi will prove to be unworthy of 

 a distinct name '.
