96 Description of New and Little known Species of 



This beautiful species I have named after my friend the 

 Rev. Owen Glenie, Colonial Chaplain of Trincomalie, who 

 was often the cheerful companion of my Zoological pursuits, 

 and who will, I hope, on my departure from the Island, con- 

 tinue those researches which he has so well begun. 



This is perhaps next to Trevebjana Zeylanica (n. s.) and 

 Doris Gloriosa, the most remarkably coloured species in Cey- 

 lon. Found in the Inner Harbour in deep water, as also at 

 Cottiar, opposite Fort Frederick.
