... 1 and Fig. 1). The holotype is compared with the largest adult male of Heterogeomys hispidus (H. torridus is smaller than hispidus) available to me in Table 1. Relative to the length of the ramus (measured from the anterior mental foramen to the posterior margin of the capsule that surrounds the root of the lower incisor), the depth of the ramus anterior to the molariform tooth-row is 33.0 per cent in H. onerosus compared with 27.3 per cent in H. hispidus.

... was cool, I cut it into lumps, and making a hole in one side of each lump, I inserted a large dose of strychnine and cyanide, contained, in a capsule that was impermeable by any odor; finally I sealed the holes up with pieces of the cheese itself.

A single plant of another orchid might bear ...
