Shih argued that Dalrymple "obtusely and consistently misreads Woolf's hyperbole", interpreting literally Woolf's comments about burning male-dominated colleges, and Woolf's likening women using their sexuality to control men to prostitution. Shih also criticised Dalrymple's attacks on Woolf's anti-militarism and her calls for working-class education. Shih suggested Dalrymple's objection to Three Guineas was due to his opposition to Woolf's "politicization of the private lives of women".

The edges of a vague geniculate median band are marked faintly darker, especially as two dark costal spots which form the corners of an equilateral triangle with the discal spot. The forewing fringes are chequered to not chequered. The hindwings are fuscous with only very faint striae and fasciae; even less conspicuously patterned than the forewings but with a clear dark fuscous, shortly linear discal mark.

Botanical illustration of Tromotriche revoluta Tromotriche was first described as a genus in 1812, and its Greek name refers to the quivering hairs that surround the lobes of its flowers ("tromo-" = "trembling"; "-trichos" = "hair"). The soft stems of Tromotriche species are obtusely, roundly four-angled (in cross section). Low, rounded mounds run along the edges of the angles, and leaf remnants are not visible. The stem surface is soft but often slightly rough.

The shell grows to a length of 5 mm, its diameter 9 mm. The shell is much depressed, biconvex, obtusely carinate peripherally and openly umbilicate. Its color is flesh- tinted, with a band below the suture composed of fine obliquely radial dark red lines alternating with white ones. This is followed in the middle of the upper surface by a spiral series of oblique, oblong red blotches alternating with opaque white ones.
|
|
The forewings are pale ochreous or brownish-ochreous, variably tinged grey. The stigmata are very small, indistinct and dark fuscous, with the discal approximated and the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is an indistinct pale shade from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, obtusely angulated in the middle, the upper portion slightly sinuate. There are also very small dark fuscous marginal dots around the apex and termen.

Like all members of the genus Synodontis, S. resupinatus has a strong, bony head capsule that extends back as far as the first spine of the dorsal fin. The head contains a distinct narrow, bony, external protrusion called a humeral process. The shape and size of the humeral process helps to identify the species. In S. resupinatus, the humeral process is flat, rough, longer than it is broad, and obtusely pointed at the end.
|
|
The spine of the pectoral fin is as long or slightly longer than the dorsal spine, and serrated on both sides. The adipose fin is 3 to 4 times as long as it is deep. The anal fin contains five unbranched and seven to eight branched rays, and is obtusely pointed in the front. The tail, or caudal fin, is deeply notched, with the upper lobe longer and sometimes ending in a filament.
|
|
The spire is obtusely elevated. The shell has about five whorls, that are nearly flat. The body whorl is large, subangulated near the base, with three very dark bands, two of which are below the angle. The penultimate whorl has two bands only, and the lowest of these is nearly or quite concealed by the suture, and on the upper whorl the same band is indicated only by a dark, hair-like line.
|
|
The forewings are light grey, suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish towards the costa and dorsum from about one-third onwards. The stigmata is cloudy, obscurely and indistinctly darker, the plical rather obliquely before first the discal. There is an obtusely angulated obscure whitish transverse shade at four-fifths, the terminal area beyond this suffusedly irrorated with whitish. There are also indistinct dark grey marginal dots on the apical part of the costa and termen.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 10 mm and 55 mm. (Original description) The large, rather stout shell has a fusiform shape. It shows an elevated, acute, turreted spire and eight or nine obtusely shouldered, angular whorls. The body whorl is large and somewhat inflated, with a broad, flattened or a slightly concave, sloping subsutural band, which is covered with distinct, strongly receding lines of growth and with more or less evident, raised, spiral cinguli and grooves.
|
|
The rest concavely slope above, then are obtusely angled about the middle, rounded, and much contracted beneath, obliquely plicated and spirally lirated. The plicae are rounded, oblique, but little elevated, more or less obsolete at the upper part. The transverse lirae are most beautifully and finely granulated. They are separated by deep-cut striae of different sizes, those in the concavity of the whorls subequal and finer than those beneath, which, again, are not all of uniform tenuity.

E. christi Rätzer (36 c). This species comes nearest to cassiope, being however at least one-third larger. The forewing more elongate than in cassiope, apex and distal margin rounded, also in the hindwing, the apex of the latter being obtusely pointed in cassiope. The brown transverse band of the forewing is of even width and runs parallel with the distal margin, being sharply defined proximally and distally and separated by the veins into spots, usually 6.
|
|
Like all members of the genus Synodontis, S. pardalis has a strong, bony head capsule that extends back as far as the first spine of the dorsal fin. The head contains a distinct narrow, bony, external protrusion called a humeral process. The shape and size of the humeral process helps to identify the species. In S. pardalis, the humeral process is rough, a little longer than it is broad, with a ridge on the bottom edge, and obtusely pointed.

Microhyla borneensis is a very small species with a snout to vent length of about for females and around two thirds of this for males. It has a broadly triangular body that is flattened dorso-ventrally. The snout is obtusely pointed, the eyes are small and have round pupils and there are no visible tympani. The skin on the dorsal surface may be smooth or bear tubercles and that of the ventral surface is always smooth.
|
|
The interstitial furrows are punctulatedly impressed. The body whorl is obtusely angled at the periphery, regularly attenuated anteriorly; ornamented with flat spiral ribs (about 30), separated by narrow furrows, crossed by sigmoidal lines of growth which produce the appearance of punctations in the interstitial furrows. The aperture is narrow, broadly emarginate in front and measures about half the length of the shell. The outer lip is thin and sharp on the edge, smooth within, much curved medially.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 16.5 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm. (Original description) The slender shell has a fusiform shape. It is whitish, banded with brown between the ribs; zones two in number on the upper whorl—one a little below the upper suture, and the other at the base. The shell contains 10 whorls, the two first smooth, convex, the rest somewhat excavated above, obtusely angled at the middle, obliquely costate and spirally striated.
|
|
Mature buds are obtusely conical shape and slightly warty, long and wide with a conical operculum that is about the same length as the floral cup. Flowering occurs between November and April and the stamens are red, rarely cream-coloured. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped to conical capsule about long and wide, with four wings along the edge and five valves in a wheel-like arrangement. The seeds are black with a compressed oval shape.
|
|
The forewings are purplish fuscous, obscurely speckled with ochreous whitish. The stigmata is large, dark fuscous, accompanied with two or three whitish scales on the sides and with the plical slightly before the first discal, an additional cloudy spot is located midway between the first discal and the base and there is an obscure pale obtusely angulated subterminal line, indented above the middle. The hindwings are grey, lighter and bluish tinged in the disc.Meyrick, Edward (1916–1923).
|
|
The forewings are dark slaty fuscous, with violet reflections. The veins are sprinkled with blackish and the stigmata are small, whitish and with the plical beneath the first discal. There is a very fine interrupted whitish line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, obtusely angulated above the middle and there is a pale ochreous apical patch, with the anterior edge nearly straight, enclosing two or three dark-grey longitudinal marks. The hindwings are light-bronzy fuscous.

Psilocybe weilii caps range from (2)3 to 6(8.5) cm in diameter and are obtusely conic to convex to campanulate. The margin is incurved or inrolled when young, becoming irregularly lobulated then straight with age. Psilocybe weilii are subumbonate, hygrophanous, glabrous, and subviscid when moist from the separable gelatinous pellicle. It is translucent-striate at the margin, and purple brown or chestnut brown to dark brown, fading to buff or straw yellow as it dries, with the center remaining blackish brown.

Lophoceras is a genus of Nautilids belonging to the tainoceratacean family, Koninckioceratidae, found in Lower Carboniferous sediments in Europe, and named by Hyatt, 1893. The shell of Lophoceras is evolute, large, with a slight impressed zone on the inner rim. In early volutions whorl sections are rounded, but later develop an obtusely angular ventral area and venter that disappears toward the front of the mature body chamber. The suture has an angular ventral saddle, broad shallow lateral lobe, and a dorsal lobe.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 30 mm, its diameter 12 mm. (Original description) The fusiform shell is rather large, rather thin, translucent white with very little lustre. It has a high, regularly tapered spire of six obtusely shouldered whorls, not counting the protoconch which is broken off, and a long, nearly straight columella and a broad, straight aperture occupying about half the length of the shell. The posterior sinus is as broad as the subsutural band, shallow, slightly broken.
|
|
The foot is strong. In the alcoholic specimen it is transversely wrinkled below, wrinkled and more or less granose at the sides above, the posterior end obtusely pointed. Anteriorly it is wider, with the lateral angles produced and the anterior margin double. The rostrum is quite peculiar, dilate, and squarely cut off at the end, which exhibits a flat, circular face concentrically wrinkled, with a very large rounded mouth, the edge of which is deeply radially wrinkled, giving it a papillose aspect externally.

The delicate stipe rests atop a flat circular disc. The cap of M. stylobates is in diameter, and depending on its age may range in shape from obtusely conic to convex to bell-shaped to flattened. The structure of the cap margin also depends on the age of the mushroom, progressing from straight or curved inward slightly, to margin flaring or curved backward. The cap surface is smooth, although if viewed with a magnifying glass, minute spines can be seen.
|
|
The cap is obtusely conic to convex, and does not expand to become flattened with age; it reaches in diameter. Its margin is bent in slightly at first but soon straightens. The cap surface is smooth except for a faint fringe at the margin from a rudimentary veil, sticky, hygrophanous but opaque when moist, deep brown in the center and somewhat darker brown near the margin. As the mushroom matures, it fades slowly in the center to a dull cinnamon color.
|
|
Bulliard's original drawing of C. tuberosa The cap of C. tuberosa ranges in shape from obtusely convex to cushion-shaped with a margin curved inward when young, to flattened in age, with margin curved downward to straight. The cap sometimes has a shallow depression in the center, or a shallow umbo. Its diameter is small, reaching a maximum of . The cap surface is dry to moist, smooth to covered with fine soft hairs, and somewhat hygrophanous—changing color depending on the level of hydration.
|
|
The forewings are light grey, more or less wholly overlaid with ochreous white and with blackish markings. There is a rather broad basal fascia, the outer edge obtusely angulated below the middle and a moderate irregular-edged slightly oblique fascia at two-fifths, not reaching the dorsum. A rather broad transverse fascia is found at two-thirds with an anterior projection above the middle, and containing an irregular white spot in the disc sometimes extending to the posterior edge. There is also an irregular apical spot.
|
|
The forewings are pale grey closely speckled with dark grey, with scattered black scales. The stigmata are moderate, cloudy and blackish-grey, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal, an additional spot midway between the first discal and the base. There are small cloudy ochreous-whitish opposite spots on the costa before three-fourths and the dorsum before the tornus, connected by a faint pale obtusely angulated shade. There are five or six black marginal dots around the apex and upper part of the termen.
|
|
The forewings are grey, the tips of the scales are whitish, sometimes largely tinged light brownish. There are several small obscure spots of blackish irroration along the costa, a stronger spot preceding the subterminal line. The discal stigmata are cloudy, obscure and dark fuscous, with tufts of scales beneath these, and above the dorsum at one- fourth. There is an obscure pale subterminal line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, obtusely angulated in the middle and sinuate inwards towards the costa.
|
|
The cap of M. aurantiomarginata ranges in shape from obtusely conic to bell-shaped, and becomes flat in maturity, reaching diameters of . The cap color is variable, ranging from dark olive fuscous (dark brownish- gray) to yellowish-olive in the center, while the margin is orangish. Alexander H. Smith, in his 1947 monograph of North American Mycena species, stated that the caps are not hygrophanous (changing color depending on the level of hydration),Smith (1947), pp. 198–9. while Mycena specialist Arne Aronsen says they are.
|
|
Below the subsutural band the whorls are obtusely angulated, but without a distinct carina. Commencing at the shoulder and extending a short distance below it are numerous oblique, not very elevated, longitudinal ribs, which fade out before reaching the middle of the whorls. The whole surface of the whorls, including the ribs, is covered with conspicuous, raised, spiral cinguli, between which there are two or three smaller ones, separated by deep concave grooves of about the same breadth. The whole surface is covered by distinct, raised lines of growth.
|
|
There is a rather oblique slightly curved ochreous-whitish streak from before the middle of the dorsum, attenuated upwards, reaching two-thirds across the wing. There is a transverse series of six short longitudinal ochreous-whitish lines on the veins about three- fourths, becoming longer downwards, and a seventh on the dorsum. A coppery- metallic transverse line is found from four-fifths of the costa to tornus, obtusely angulated above the middle, the extremities whitish. There is a fulvous streak just beyond this, sending a branch into the apical projection, the lower portion terminal.
|
|
Maxillary lobe of the second pair of feet very long, nearly straight from the base, not attenuated, directed mesad nearly horizontally, and united on the ventro-meson to the lobe from the opposite side without forming a sensible angle; the two together lightly arched on the cephalic border, and forming an even curve. Sternal piece large, slightly contracted between the fourth pair of coxae, gradually enlarging and obtusely truncate cephalad. The feet are very long and slender; tibia of the second pair with a few false articulations. Palpal claw denticulate.

The body of the fish is a uniform brown or brown with indistinct darker spots on the body and fins. Juveniles may also display large dark brown spots on the sides. Like other members of the genus, this fish has a humeral process, which is a bony spike that is attached to a hardened head cap on the fish and can be seen extending beyond the gill opening. The humeral process on this species is obtusely keeled, much longer than deep, acutely pointed, and extends slightly beyond the occipito-nuchal process.
|
|
There is an irregularly triangular light pinkish-brown patch extending on the dorsum from the base to the middle, its apex reaching nearly to the median costal spot. The second discal stigma is dark fuscous and there is an irregular light pinkish-brown shade from the median costal spot obtusely angulated in the middle to the dorsum at three-fourths, and a curved shade from the posterior costal spot to the tornus. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.

The pelvic brim is the edge of the pelvic inlet. It is an approximately Mickey Mouse head-shaped line passing through the prominence of the sacrum, the arcuate and pectineal lines, and the upper margin of the pubic symphysis. The pelvic brim is obtusely pointed in front, diverging on either side, and encroached upon behind by the projection forward of the promontory of the sacrum. The oblique plane passing approximately through the pelvic brim divides the internal part of the pelvis (pelvic cavity) into the false or greater pelvis and the true or lesser pelvis.

|
The forewings are bronzy blackish with leaden-metallic markings, tinged pale bluish or violet. There is a patch occupying the basal fourth of the wing, the edge obtusely angulated in the middle, including an elongate blackish spot in the disc. There is an irregular fascia from a white dot on the middle of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum, nearly interrupted by an irregular oblique blackish striga in the disc. An oblique mark is found from the costa at three-fourths, white on the costa.

Restoration of H. bessonowi Helicoprion was first described by Alexander Karpinsky in 1899 from a fossil found in Artinskian age limestones of the Ural Mountains. Karpinsky named the type species Helicoprion bessonowi; Oliver Perry Hay originally described the species. This species can be differentiated from others by a short and narrowly spaced tooth whorl, backward-directed tooth tips, obtusely-angled tooth bases, and a consistently narrow whorl shaft. One of two Helicoprion species described by Wheeler in 1939, H. nevadensis, is based on a single partial fossil found in 1929 by Elbert A Stuart.

The forewings are green, with the tips of the scales whitish. There are large subcostal and subdorsal tufts at one-fourth and smaller tufts mixed dark grey representing the stigmata, the plical hardly before the first discal. There is a paler shade from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, very obtusely angulated in the middle, the upper half slightly sinuate, some dark grey irroration beyond the angle. There are also cloudy blackish-grey marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen.

Long-nosed armadillos have a broad, depressed body, an obtusely pointed rostrum, long, pointed ears and short legs. The carapace consists of two immobile plates, separated by six or seven movable bands, which are connected to each other by a fold of hairless skin. The carapace is mostly blackish, hairless and with the scales of the anterior edge of the movable bands not notably different in colour from the rest of the dorsum. Lateral scutes have dark blackish-pink centres only slightly discernible from the rest of the carapace, but never as obviously pale as in the nine-banded armadillo.

Cerconota myrodora is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas), French Guiana and Guyana."Cerconota Meyrick, 1915" at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms The wingspan is 21–22 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous with three obscure rather irregular grey transverse lines, the first rather curved, rather oblique, the lower half forming the posterior limit of a triangular purple dorsal blotch, somewhat marbled with ground colour, the second and third obtusely angulated in the middle, the space between these forming a suffused purplish blotch on the dorsal half.

On the supraoccipital, a slight groove can be seen at each anteroventral extremity, particularly at the dorsolateral side. Leptopleuron is also characterized by its opisthotic having no foramen on the ventral ramus, specifically for nerve IX. The opisthotic is identified by a short transverse ridge that flanks a relatively deep and crescent moon-like notch ventrally. As for the prootic, the anteroventral process extends out into a free-standing distal plate rounded at the anterior. Characteristic of Leptopleuron as well is its extremely tiny stapes with a cone-like and obtusely sub-triangular footplate in lateral view.

These ribs are obtusely rounded and wave- like, the interspaces being shallow, concave, in breadth about equal to the ribs. On the body whorl there are from twenty-five to thirty. On the spire- whorls the intersections of the cinguli and ribs, which are of about the same size, produce a pretty regularly cancellated structure, but on the body whorl the cinguli are more numerous and less prominent than the ribs. The protoconch is chestnut-brown and consists of about 2½ regularly increasing whorls, the apical one being very small and regularly coiled ; this surface appears to have been minutely cancellated by microscopic lines.

Typical vegetation in South East Asia is more woody than in South America, and the parang is therefore optimized for a stronger chopping action with a heavier blade and a "sweet spot" further forward of the handle; the blade is also beveled more obtusely to prevent it from binding in the cut. This is the same rationale and (in practical terms) the same design as the Indonesian golok and very similar to the Filipino bolo. The parang blade ranges from 10 to 36 inches (25.4 to 91.44 cm) in length. The parang has a weight of up to 2 lb (0.9 kg) and the edge usually uses a convex grind.
|
|
The forewings are fuscous, partially tinged with reddish brown and with a pale whitish-green dot on the fold near the base, and a spot on the dorsum at one-fourth. The discal stigmata is pale whitish green, approximated, with the plical larger, rather dark fuscous mixed with pale whitish green, very obliquely before the first discal. There is also a very obscure pale obtusely angulated shade crossing the wing from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, as well as some minute dark fuscous dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.

Beddomixalus differs from the other rhacophorid genera by being a slender and elongated medium-sized frog, the female measuring up to in length; its yellowish-buff or reddish-brown dorsum carrying two distinct yellowish-cream longitudinal stripes; vomerine teeth and an absent lingual papilla; distinct supratympanic fold as well as tympanum; a rounded canthus rostralis; an obtusely concave loreal region; a simple and tubular Wolffian duct. At the same time, the early development of non- pigmented eggs occur exposed on moist swamp beds, without protection nor parental care; it has free-living aquatic tadpoles which are adapted to lentic conditions; and the genus inhabits mid- to high elevation forests.
|

There is an obtusely angulated whitish transverse shade at three-fourths more or less indicated. Beyond this is a black dash to the apex, interrupted just before the apex, sometimes edged with brownish beneath. The hindwings are light gray, paler and bluish tinged in the disc.
|
|
The forewings are fuscous with an orange dorsal patch containing some fuscous scales and three oblique leaden-metallic lines from the costa, the first near the base, the second at one-third, the third from the middle. The second line is longer, acutely angled in the disc, and extending to the dorsal patch, while the third line gives off a fine orange line to the tornus, obtusely bent in the disc, and preceded by two or three longitudinal orange streaks. There is a leaden- metallic transverse line from the tornus to the angle of the costa. Beyond this is an orange apical patch partly traversed by some black lines from the anterior edge.

The forewings are glossy dark leaden grey, sometimes whitish sprinkled in the disc and with black subbasal dots in the middle and on the dorsum. There are cloudy blackish dots obliquely placed above and below the fold at one-fifth of the wing. The stigmata are obscurely darker, partially edged with some whitish scales and there is an obscure obtusely curved-angulated subterminal line of whitish irroration (sprinkles) from a white dot on the costa at four-fifths to the tornus, preceded by irregular white irroration tending to form longitudinal marks, and followed by a round suffused black spot towards the costa, and three large dots towards the termen. The terminal area is purplish tinged.
|
|
The forewings are whitish-ochreous suffused light grey and sprinkled dark fuscous. There is a small blackish spot on the base of the costa and an irregular purple-blackish streak from one-fourth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, thickest on the costa, the first discal and plical stigmata forming spots on this, the second discal stigma forming a small blackish spot ringed whitish-ochreous. There is a pale ochreous spot on the costa at three-fourths, where an obscure shade obtusely angulated in the middle runs to the tornus, the terminal area beyond this forming a light fuscous fascia speckled blackish. There are also two pale ochreous dots on the costa towards the apex.

Giandomenico Fracchia, Villaggio's "monstrously shy" character, is tasked to sell a piece of real estate in Transylvania, otherwise he will lose his job. The customer is the obtusely nagging and prickly accountant Arturo Filini, who suffers from heavy nearsightedness and who does not realize that the manor he is interested in is actually Count Dracula's castle. Once on the spot, Fracchia is terrified at the going-ons while Filini, in true Mister Magoo-style, dismisses them as 'tricks' to dissuade him from the estate deal. Meanwhile, a young and attractive vampire hunter (Isabella Ferrari), arrives, determined to avenge the death of her brother, who perished trying to rid the world of Dracula and his cohorts.

Close-up of a male A female This species of lizard has a large head that is elongated and depressed, with the cheeks swollen in adult males. The snout is longer than the diameter of the orbit (eye cavity). The upper head scales are unequal and smooth or obtusely keeled, the scales being larger on the sinciput (brow) than on the occiput. The canthus rostralis and supraciliary (brow) has a clear and sharp edge, two small separated spines or groups of spines above the ear are present or absent; the diameter of the tympanum is half or a little more than half that of the orbit; it has 10 to 13 upper and as many lower labial scales.

He then goes to the beach to visit Karl, who attacks Richard, provoking Richard to attack him before he gets free and runs off into the jungle. On the day of the Tet festival, Sal obtusely asks Richard to kill Karl because of the threat he poses to the group's now-fragile social integrity, complaining that she constantly has to lift morale in the wake of the poisoning incident and Sten's death. Richard swims out to the cave where the group's only boat is kept, only to find that Karl has used it to escape to the mainland. Étienne corners Richard, thereafter and Richard soon discovers that Étienne, along with the rest of his clique, has become frightened of Richard's "doing things" for Sal.

The forewings are drab, with the costal edge paler and the markings confined to the distal area. There is an obtusely bent greyish white blackish-edged subterminal streak, thickened and pure white at the costa, preceded by an orange streak thinly edged blackish. The area distad of the subterminal streak is orange on the upper half and pale apricot yellow on the lower half. There is also a thick plumbeous streak along the costa towards the apex and a large mixed drab and black circular marking at the middle of the termen, a similar dash above in the deep excavation beneath the apical prominence, a third dash below a little before mid-way to tornus reaching inward from the termen to the middle of the yellow blotch.

The forewings are pale yellow-ochreous, partially tinged with brownish, and thinly sprinkled with dark fuscous or black. There is an undefined basal fascia of dark fuscous irroration and there are two undefined transverse shades of dark fuscous or blackish irroration, the first from one- fourth of the costa to two-fifths of the dorsum, angulated on the fold, the second from two-thirds of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, obtusely angulated in the disc, followed by a paler shade with a few white scales. The stigmata are blackish, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, these two placed on the first transverse shade, the second discal transverse, edged with a few white scales.

He takes up with his lover, who has been violently driven away in a jealous rage by the preacher for "fornication". Eventually Jose offers Ivan an opportunity to make a modest living running marijuana, moving the drug from the country to the city on a motorbike as part of a large police-protected network. When Ivan complains about the poor pay and what he obtusely believes is high risk, being oblivious to the collusion with the authorities that makes the thriving enterprise possible, Jose sets up a take-down for him with the corrupt local police official running the protection racket, Detective Jones. On Ivan's next trip he is flagged down by a policeman who routinely had waved him by, panics, and shoots the officer, who dies from his wounds and crashing his motorcycle.

The forewings are ochreous fuscous, with the discal stigmata blackish, the plical represented by an elongate cloudy darker fuscous spot beyond the first discal. There is an obtusely angulated pale bluish-grey dark- edged line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, towards the costa becoming white and edged with blackish. There is a black dot following the angle of this line, edged beneath by a small spot of coppery-metallic suffusion, a blackish dot on the tornal margin beyond the line, and sometimes a small indistinct blackish dot between these. The apical prominence beyond the line is light ochreous yellowish, cut by an oblique whitish posteriorly blackish-edged line near and parallel to the preceding line, the blackish margin running into the apex.

There is a dot towards the base in the middle and there are oblique marks from the costa before and beyond the first projection, and a spot before the second. A small spot is found on the dorsum at one-fourth and an oblique fascia of suffusion from above this to the disc at three-fifths, as well as a fascia of darker suffusion from the disc beyond this to the dorsum before the tornus and an obtusely elongated line from beneath the middle of the costa to the tornus, its lower half followed by a fascia of light grey suffusion nearly reaching the termen. There are also four cloudy dots on the apical part of the costa.

However, the courses are not parallel, being thinner towards the most acutely angled quoin (located where the face of the arch makes an obtuse angle with the abutment in the plan view, at S and Q in the development to the left, and at the left hand side of the photograph of the intrados on the right) and thicker towards the most obtusely angled quoin (at O and G in the development and just off the right hand side of the photograph), requiring specially cut stones, no two of which in a given course being the same, which precludes the use of mass-produced bricks. Nevertheless, two courses beginning at opposite ends of the barrel at the same height above the springing line are exactly alike, halving the number of templates required. French; Ives, 1902, op. cit., p. 101.

The forewings are lilac-fuscous, mixed with brown, with some scattered blackish scales and several tufts of scales on or near the fold anteriorly, as well as two oblique obtusely angulated series of brown tufts crossing the wing from before the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, the first including in the disc a small blackish-mixed spot partially outlined with whitish. Beyond these, the terminal third of the wing is wholly ochreous- white, crossed by a strongly sinuate line of grey dots from a small spot on the costa to the tornus, a cloudy grey dentate line near the termen, and a series of minute indistinct blackish dots suffused with ferruginous-ochreous just before the termen. The hindwings are grey, the apical margin suffused with whitish.

The costal edge is ochreous brown anteriorly and there is a fascia from the base of the costa along the dorsum to one-third, as well as a thick streak rising from this near the costa and running to the costa at one-third, then along the costa to three-fourths, extremity pointed. There is an oblique fascia rising from this at one-fourth, the posterior edge obtusely angulated, expanded on the dorsum so as to extend nearly from the middle to the tornus. There is also an irregular fascia running from the costal streak beyond the middle almost or quite to touch this at the tornus, then abruptly angulated upwards and running near the termen to the apex, with a more or less distinct prominence touching the termen in the middle.

There is some brownish-ochreous suffusion between these on the subdorsal area, as well as a curved brownish-ochreous line from above the middle of the third streak to four-fifths of the dorsum. There is also a violet-silvery metallic subterminal streak, angulated above the middle and indented between this and the costa. The apical and terminal area beyond this is brownish ochreous, with four blackish longitudinal marks, and a black marginal line.
