In the study of the material liere presented, it was found that 
the most satisfactory mounts were made from specimens boiled in 
a solution of KOH composed of etjual parts of water and saturated 
solution of the potassium hydrate. The material was allowed 
to boil several minutes, then was transferred ■ to warm water and 
washed with camel’s hair brush until all the coloring matter had 
left the body. From here the specimens were readily transferred 
to glycerine jelly for temporary study or through the clearing 
mixture mentioned in the previous paper into balsam for permanent 
reference. 
I am again placed under obligations to Professor T. D. A. 
Cockerell who has very kindly read the manuscript and given 
some notes upon the species here studied. The drawings 
accompanying this paper were made by Miss Ella Weeks under 
the author's immediate supervision. Thanks are due her for the 
care and skill exercised in their production. 
All measurements given, both in text and plates, are\in micro- 
millimeters.

Color light brown, older scales comparatively flat, younger scales 
when dry wrinkle up forming ridges on longitudinal median line. 
In older specimens the longitudinal median surface is smooth, this 
area being fusiform, but not greatly enlarged in the center. Fusi- 
form space pitted on each side, the lateral surface in folds; the 
depressions each contain several small pits. The caudal margin 
somewhat plicate. The edges of body wall not upturned on 
median margins of caudal opening. Ciland pits in derm compara-
