This form is not unlike 0. commune, with the exception that there is a diastema between the canine and pm-1, and another between pm. 1 and pm. 2. The instance of the two varieties of C. gracile noticed above indicates, however, the need of caution in founding new species merely on the presence or absence of a dia- stema. Under these circumstances it appears desirable to await additional specimens before deciding whether the present ones should be regarded as a new species, or merely as a well-marked variety. The name bravardi, either as a specific or a varietal one, may eventually be appropriately applied to this form. Hob. France. M. 1401.
