The figures of this species given by Sars as well as those 

 of Gourret, and the figures by the former of Pontophilus 

 norvegicus and Crangon echinulatus (=C. serratus, Norman *) 

 are admirable. The figure given by Kinahan, which is 

 supposed to represent this species, has been drawn as respects 

 the spination entirely from imagination ; and similarly we 

 have never been able to understand what the species is 

 which he described under the name Cheraphilus Pattersonii. 

 The carapace of the present species has five rows of spines (not 

 seven as drawn by him), and the number is three (with perhaps 

 two minute ones in front) in the central row; three in each 

 upper lateral row, and two on each lower row, these last 

 being situated on the front half of the carapace.

 and in trawl-refuse, not uncommon off Falmouth " (Cocks'); 

 Plymouth, frequent in 6-15 fathoms (Bate) ; Polperro 

 (Conch); off Devon coast in Start Bay (./?. A. Todd, vi.

* I am not quite sure whether uiy own name or that of Sars should 

 have precedence, as I know not the exact date of Sara's paper. (J. ser- 

 ratus was described by me at the Brit. Assoc. Meeting of 1861, the 

 same year as that of the paper of Sars. A. M. N.
