Jordan end Hubbs state? °that “the type locality of Isch- 
cus 
’ 
nomembres gabunensis is very probably incorrect,” which may, 
or mey not, be true. Notwithstanding that genus may be 
it 
identical with Menidia, as they clsim, we feel that is 
impossible that the two types were -ectually secured in 
French Congo. "e have examined scales from the type of 
gabunensis and find the basal striae 6 to 8, circuli above 
end below 14 to 16 and apical circuli 32 to 35. A series of 
Menidia notata show 7 to ll basal striae, usually 
+o 9. We heve also examined the type of Phoxargyrea dayi 
Fowler in this connection and find it has 9 or 10 basal 
striae and the circuli 17 above and same 7, also ir- 
M., notata of similar 
regularly fine apically or about 44. In 
size the scales were usually much nore imbricated or narrower. 
Tt is thus evident that the scales show very slight charact- 
ers.
