doubtful. Although very different in appearance from 
Zosime typica or any described species, it has the generic 
characters of Zosime, and I have therefore placed it in 
that genus.

Copilia brucit, n. sp. (Pl. IX., figs. 1 to 7). 
Length 1-4th of an inch. The first cephalothoracic seg-

body and nearly equal to the united length of the other 
segments; the frontal portion is roundly indented between 
the eyes (fig. 1). The abdomen is five jointed, the second 
joint in what appears to be the male having its posterior 
angles on each side terminated by one strong and one 
slender spine with a long seta above (fig. 7); the next joint 
terminates partially in two short spines. The two last 
abdominal segments are denticulated on the ventral side 
only (fig. 6). The caudal stylets are long and slender,
