  Now, 
  in 
  summarizing 
  the 
  above 
  figures 
  according 
  to 
  both 
  the 
  sex 
  

   and 
  the 
  geographical 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  specimens, 
  excluding 
  

   the 
  two 
  that 
  have 
  no 
  definite 
  data, 
  the 
  averages 
  are 
  found 
  to 
  be 
  as 
  

   follows 
  : 
  

  

  Having 
  thus 
  examined 
  a 
  rather 
  large 
  series 
  of 
  Colombian 
  and 
  

   Ecuadorian 
  specimens 
  that, 
  as 
  a 
  rule, 
  showed 
  outer 
  rings 
  on 
  their 
  

   body 
  and 
  so 
  looked 
  very 
  much 
  like 
  M. 
  dumerilii 
  (Jan) 
  as 
  represented 
  

   in 
  Jan's 
  figure

  as 
  described
