  The 
  "black 
  streak 
  behind 
  the 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  orbit" 
  mentioned 
  by 
  

   Pocock 
  (1. 
  c.) 
  is 
  not 
  in 
  reality 
  a 
  'streak* 
  in 
  the 
  usual 
  acceptance 
  of 
  that 
  

   term, 
  but 
  the 
  long 
  black 
  hairs 
  of 
  the 
  narrow 
  line 
  beneath 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  

   on 
  the 
  forehead 
  turn 
  backwards 
  and 
  upwards 
  at 
  the 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  eyes 
  

   and 
  produce 
  a 
  black 
  line. 
  If 
  these 
  hairs 
  should 
  be 
  shorter 
  in 
  any 
  speci- 
  

   men, 
  as 
  they 
  most 
  likely 
  would 
  be 
  in 
  certain 
  seasons 
  or 
  age, 
  there 
  would 
  

   be 
  no 
  black 
  mark 
  at 
  this 
  point, 
  as 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  black 
  hairs 
  growing 
  

   upwards 
  from 
  the 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  eyes 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  streak. 
  I 
  emphasize 
  

   this 
  point, 
  because 
  Mr. 
  Pocock 
  makes 
  it 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  characters 
  separat- 
  

   ing 
  this 
  race 
  from 
  L. 
  tantalus, 
  and 
  might 
  possibly 
  mislead 
  an 
  inves- 
  

   tigator 
  with 
  a 
  specimen 
  having 
  shorter 
  brow 
  hairs. 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  not 
  aware 
  that 
  any 
  intermediates 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  following 
  

   forms 
  and 
  L. 
  tantalus 
  have 
  been 
  obtained, 
  and 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  criticized 
  

   that 
  they 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  reduced 
  to 
  races, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  all 
  so
