wrist, but three or four times as long, and with the upper 

 and lower margins parallel ; the palm is oblique, that of 

 the right hand being developed into the form of a small 

 cup, possibly an abnormal condition, resulting from some 

 previous injury to the part, that of the left hand being 

 armed with a strong tooth near the centre, and a smaller 

 one which defines its posterior limit. The walking legs are 

 all of the same length, being tolerably long and rather 

 slender ; they have the thighs not developed, and the 

 penultimate joint of the last three pairs are serrated upon 

 the inner margin. The caudal appendages are short, 

 and each terminates in short branches. 



We know nothing of the habits of this creature, 

 of which a single specimen only has been sent to us by 

 Mr. Edward, who took it near Banff. 



The following sketch of Covesea Lighthouse, on the 

 shores of the Moray Frith, was kindly drawn for us by 

 Miss Gordon Cumming, of Altyre.
