EIGHTEEN-BANDED ARMADILLO. 197 



vol. The Sexcinctus, pi. 1% of Schreber, and the 



Octocincttis, pi. 73. of the same author. All three 

 being varieties of the Novemcinctus, or Nine- 

 banded Armadillo. 



The Cheloniscus of Columna, aquat. 2. p. 15. 

 t. 16. seems to be no other than a variety of the 

 Three-banded., or Tricincius. 



The Four-banded Armadillo of Molina, men- 

 tioned in his Natural History of Chili., may per- 

 haps be a distinct species. Molina also mentions 

 an Armadillo with eleven bands, with four toes 

 on the tore feet and five on the hind.
