EDITORIAL NOTES. 



This Volume contains Parts LXIX., LXXIV., LXXV., and LXXVI. 



of the Zoological Series of Eeports. 



Part LXIX. — This excellent Report on the Anomura, by Professor 

 John R. Henderson, consisting of 228 pages and 21 lithographic 

 plates, has been prepared by Professor Henderson under exceptional 

 difficulties, arising chiefly from his removal to India, shortly after 

 commencing the work, to fill an appointment in the Madras 

 Christian College. 



Part LXXIV. — On the completion of his Reports on the Pteropoda 

 collected by the Expedition, Dr. Paul Pelseneer was requested to 

 make an examination into the Anatomy of the specimens of 

 Deep-Sea Mollusca which had been described in the Systematic 

 Reports, and it is to be regretted that it was necessary to limit 

 him as to the time he should be engaged in the work. 



This interesting Report is the result of his investigations, and 

 extends to 42 pages with 4 lithographic plates. 



Part LXXV. — This Report on Phoronis Buskii by Professor W. C. 

 M'Intosh, consists of 27 pages and 3 plates. 



Two other Reports by Professor M'Intosh have previously 

 appeared in the Challenger Series, viz : — 



Annelida Polych^eta, forming Part XXXIV, of the Zoological 



Series, was published as Volume XII. Zoology, in 1885. 

 Cephalodiscus Dodecalophus, forming Part LXII. of the 

 Zoological Series, was published in Volume XX. Zoology 

 (1887).
