Fauna and Flora of the Lesser Antilles

IN the article on this subject in NATURE of August 16 (p. 371), it is stated that Guilding discovered a Peripatus in Dominica many years ago. This is, I believe, an error, for Guilding's Peripatus juliforme was found by him in St. Vincent, an island to the south of Dominica, and the first specimen of Peripatus found in this island was, I understand, the one now in the British Museum, taken home by Mr. G. Angas.
