Verconella adust a : a Correction. 
A misprint occurred in Mr. Hedley’s note in the February number 
(p. 54), by which he was made to suggest that Siphonalia dilatata of 
Suters Manual should take the name of Verconella adjusta (Phil.). The 
correct name is V. adusta. A photograph of this species and of the true 
Verconella dilatata is reproduced.
