IIYPERIA GALBA.

Banff, and Professor Milne Edwards mentions having 

 found it on the shores of France. 



Among several specimens sent to us from Banff, were a 

 few of a smaller size, which differed from the others in 

 having much shorter antennae, the inferior being the 

 shortest, and terminating in a more obtuse extremity than 

 in the larger specimens. We were at first inclined to 

 describe them as a distinct species, but, all other condi- 

 tions being considered, we feel certain that they are 

 only immature specimens, a circumstance which induces 

 us to think that probably H. medusarum (Fabr.) of the 

 Arctic sea may likewise be but the young of this or some 

 other species. 



The following vignette represents the little fishing vil- 

 lage of Polperro, in Cornwall, a place that has been 

 rendered attractive to naturalists as the scene of the la- 

 bours, as well as the residence, of Jonathan Couch, Esq.,
