Abstract
SINCE I learnt from Mr. Moseley's notes on the species of Peripatus (Ann. and Mag. of. Hist., v. ser., iii., 263), that one of them, referred by Grube to P. Edwardsii, had been obtained from this country, in the neighbourhood of Colony Tovar1), I tried to get specimens of this highly interesting animal. But all my efforts being unsuccessful for a long time, I finally lost all hopes, and the pressure of other business, scientific and not scientific, caused me to lay the matter on the shelf, little thinking that I had my desideratum close at my elbows.
