* In one abnormal specimen a 2nd pair of lateral lobes was well developed and highly chitinised, the lobe on the one side being larger than that on the other side of the pygidium. In both cases they were larger than the 1st lateral lobes, being elongate, more or less parallel-sided, finely serrated at the apex and falling away towards the outer edge. The bigger of the two had a conspicuous notch on the outer edge in addition. In the same specimen the circumgenital glands were also abnormal ; median group 5, a single gland midway between the median and right anterior group which consisted of 11 glands, right posterior 7, left anterior 14, left posterior group 21.
