spiny and those of the last pair still more so. The animal has 

 the power of reproducing legs lost during the process of cast- 

 ing of the skin, especially in the earlier stages, but in my speci- 

 mens the new legs never grew up to the size of the normal legs 

 of the opposite side. 



The wing covers measure 39 mm., the wings themselves 77 

 mm., reaching down to the end of the fifth segment. 



The eggs are oval and smooth, of dark brown colour, 

 measuring 5 by 4 mm., surmounted by an almost spherical capi- 

 tulum, 1.5 mm. in diameter. These eggs were figured by Dr. D. 

 Sharp, F. E. S., of Cambridge, in his "Account of the Phas- 

 midte, with Notes on the Eggs," in Willey's " Zoological Re- 

 sults," part IX, fig. 39, under the name of Cyplwcrania 

 Jianit&ehi, n.n., and the author says that they are remarkable for 

 the large size of the capitulum. Later on, however, he identified 

 the species as Fun/enema hercitlanea, Charpentier.
