This species is the latest addition to the African Ca.pitonidce, and is interesting from 
the striking difference which it exhibits from the other known genera. It is to be hoped 
that before long we may obtain more information as to its habits and indication from some 
of the energetic field Naturalists who are collecting in Western Africa. As yet even the 
female is unknown, and the following note by Professor Barboza de Bocage in the “ Pro- 
ceedings of the Zoological Society for 1869,” is all that has yet been recorded about it: — 
“ Four males from Caconda. It is the second species known of the genus Buccanodon.
