Oshima has described two new species Calotermes (?) ina- 

 murai (8, p. 61, PL I, figs. 5, 6, 21, 22, PL II, figs. 2, 19; 9, p. 

 272) and Calotermes {Cryptotermes) clentatus (10, p. 2, PL I, fig. 1, 

 PL II, figs. 8, 9 ; 11, p. 289, fig. 1) from Formosa. As I have 

 not had any opportunity of examining these termites, I do not feel 

 disposed to include them in the present communication. 



Before proceeding further, I take the opportunity of expressing 

 my sincere thanks to Professor Watase, under whose supervision 

 the work was done, and for his constant encouragement during 

 the course of my work. To Professors Ijima, Goto and Assistant 

 Professor Yatsu, I am also indebted in various ways. To these 

 gentlemen I am sincerely grateful. While in Formosa during the 

 months of May and June, 1911, with Professor Watase, I also 

 received many acts of courtesv and assistance from the officials of 

 the Formosan Government, to whom I tender my hearty thanks. 



I must not let this opportunity pass without expressing my 

 hearty thanks to Baron Hamao, former President of the Tokyo 

 Imperial University, and to Professor Sakurai, Dean of the College 

 of èci ence ' f° r the various acts of kindness and help, without 

 which :t would have been difficult for me to carry out the work.
