In color, however, the specimen before me seems to differ somewhat from the normal color of imthurmi for according to Professor Pearse's field notes, it evidently showed in life lozenge-shaped markings. Bouvier has found in cer- tain individuals indications of lozenges in addition to the median dark line, however, so that this variation is perhaps of not very great importance. The specimen was fixed in Gilson's fluid and it is impos- sible at present to see any indications of the original color-pattern. The present record greatly extends the range of imthurmi, but after a long series of comparisons I am convinced that it is either a non- typical or varietal form of imthurmi.

All specimens are from the Cincinnati Coffee plantation, 18 miles south of Santa Marta, Colombia. The field numbers are those referred to in the preceding taxonomic account. 49. One Peripatus, in a log 30 X lj ft. on a hillside southeast of the Plantation. Altitude about 3,000 feet. July 7, 1913. 50. Two Peripatus, same as 49 per locality and date, in a small stump 1 \ ft. high and 5 inches in diameter, with borers (Passalus, etc.) imagoes, larvae, and pupae. 58. Peripatus in a rotten log with one beetle, isopods, ants, etc. Altitude about 5,300 feet. July 8, 1913. This log, like the others I had examined up to this time which contained Peripatus, was on an open hillside exposed to the sun, with Pteris growing all around. I found a cricket in this log which was fastened by its dorsal surface by a sticky secre
