42 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



to "Seha (T/i/'s. 1, Tah. 90, n. 5,)" wliich is the figure of a Ci/conus. The -nriter notices 

 that Seba mentions also "poux marins de Groeuland, qui font la nourriture des haleines." 

 On p. 361, "Puce de m.GT,psillus marinus, est un petit animal carnassier, qui se trouve en 

 grand quantito sur les bords de la mer du Cap de Bonne Esperance." Its name is derived 

 from its power of leaping. It is armed "d'un petit aiguillon," by which it fixes itself on 

 to fish and drives them to desperation. Rondelet's account of the ape-like shrimp is then 

 given, with the concluding remark, " Peututre que les puces de mer sont le meme animal 

 connu k Amboine et h Banda, sous le nom de Fotock, vmjez ce mot." Under "Fotok," 

 Tom. 3, 13. 550, he only says, " Voyez Pou de mer." There may be other information of 

 importance in other parts of this work and in the three other editions of it. I have given 

 specimens to encourage research. The Danish translation by H. v. Aphelen is dated, 

 according to Hagen, 1767-1770, and must have been Tnade therefore from the first or 

 second edition. 



1776. MuLLER, Otto Friedrich, born 1730, died 1784 (Hagen).
