SPOLIA ZEYLANJCA. 
The young ones, when ready for escape from the maternal 
pouch, are seen in the neatest possible longitudinal rows, each 
individual as straight as an arrow. At this stage the head is 
longer than the first segment of the perseon, instead of much 
shorter as in the adult. The seventh segment of the perseon 
is very short and totally devoid of limbs, which the other 
segments have almost of the full-grown character. 
The name of the species refers to its comparatively small size.

As this minute species was rather fully discussed under the 
second of the above references, it is scarcely necessary to add 
anything here, except to note its occurrence in association with 
yet another sphseromid. It was not actually observed upon 
Sphceroma terebrans , but was associated in the same tube with 
the specimens of that species.
