  This 
  large 
  species 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  typical 
  Porania. 
  In 
  several 
  of 
  

   my 
  former 
  articles 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  distinguished 
  from 
  the 
  following 
  

  

  * 
  Perrier, 
  Sladen, 
  and 
  others 
  have 
  resurrected 
  one 
  of 
  Linck's 
  ante-binomial 
  

   names 
  {planus) 
  for 
  this 
  species. 
  This 
  proceeding 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  entirely 
  unwar- 
  

   ranted 
  and 
  unnecessary.
