* Dr. Keichenow writes to me that he considers (E. saharae to be a distinct species,
so that I have reinstated it in the ‘ Hand-list ’ for the present. Personally, I do not
believe it to be distinct, any more than I do (E. indicus (cf. Oat. B. p. 6), though
Dr. Bianchi writes that he considers this form also to be quite recognizable.
