that English authors sboukl include Eoussel's South Sea species, Cijamiis ovah's and Cyarmis 

 gracilis, in the English Fauna. Only on the supposition, he says, that the Cyamid para- 

 sites on the Southern Whale are possibly also to he found on the Basque Whale, could these 

 species be included in the Fauna of Great Britain.

Description of Two Rare Crustaceans from the Coast of Durham, one of them 

 a New Species. Transactions of the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club. Volume IV. 

 Part I. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1858. pp. 15-16. PI. II. 



Kroyera arenaria, Spence Bate, the new species, is thus described : — 



" Antennee. inferiores quam siiperiores sunt loncjiores. Qnathopoda secuiida sunt cheliformes; 

 rarpi producuntur ultra dadylomm extremitates. Super regiones dorsales posterimvs, 

 nullx dentes." 



" This species differs from the one on which the genus was founded, chiefly in the absence of the 

 carinated dorsal ridge, and in the peculiar form of the second gnathopoda. In K. Cariruita 

 they are subcheliform, but the carpi are produced so that they reach beyond the extremity 

 of the fingers — a peculiarity T neper saw in any other Crustacean." After further descrip- 

 tion, Mr. Spence Bate says, " this genns belongs to the subfamily Phoxides, the habits of 

 which are not much known." If Kroyera carinata, the type species, be identified with 

 Alonoculodes, the name Kroyera would lapse as a synonym, and Boeck's Pontocrates, 1860, 

 would take its place. On the other hand Spence Bate's specific name arenaria has preced- 

 ence of Boeck's norvegicus, 1860, so that if Boeck is right in identifying his species with 

 Bate's, the species becomes Pontocrates arenarius, Spence Bate, sp., with CEdiceros norvegicus, 

 Boeck, 1860, and Pontocrates norvegicus, Boeck, 1870, for its synonyms. But for a 

 different view see Note on J. S. Schneider, 1885. 



The other species here mentioned is Sidcator arenarius, Spence Bate, properly Haustorius 

 arenarius, Slabber, a species by no means rare.

Interesting particulars are given in regard to the homes constructed in various ways by creatures 

 belonging to the genera Cerapms, Unciola, Siphonoecetes, Ampliithoe, Podocei-us, CoropMnm, 

 Chelura and Phvonima. The connection between the animal's structure and the character 

 of its dwelling, in regard to the Podocerides, Coropliiides and Chelura respectively is 

 pointed out. The nature of the habitation of Phronima sedentaria had not as yet been 

 decisively made out.
