ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA IN "SOUTH AFRICAN 



CRUSTACEA," PART L, 1900. 



On p. 30 in the reference to " Linuparis, White, 1847/' the 

 generic name should be Linuparus- Attention was called to this 

 by Dr. Woodward in the Geological Magazine, vol. 7, p. 394, 

 where, however, the error is not traced back to its source in the 

 report on the Challenger INTacrura. 



F. 7,7^- To the list of those who have used Asfacns as the 

 generic name of the lobster may be added Westwood, in the 

 PIntomologist's Text-book, p. loi, 1836. 



P. 37- In the last line the epithet " perplexing" is quite in- 

 appropriate to the statement quoted from Huxley, and the 

 comment upon it with which the paragraph ends on p. 38 is quite 

 beside the T)urpose. The mistake arose from a confusion 

 of the eighth somite of the body with what is sometimes called 

 the eig-hth thoracic somite. As my friend Dr. W. T. Caiman 

 promptly pointed out. there is only an infinitetsimal difference 

 between Huxley's observation that the second maxilliped in the 

 lobster is without an arthrobranchia, and the explanation by Boas 

 that this arthrobranchia is reduced to a pimple- 



P. 49- In the synonymy of AEgcon should have been included 

 a reference to Faxon's Stalk-eyed Crustacea of the Albatross, 

 Mem. Mus Comp. Zo()l Harvard, vol. 18, 1805. where an im- 

 portant footnote to p. 134 discusses that genus (with the changed 

 spelling AEgaeon), and expresses the opinion that Bate's Pauto- 

 caris is to be identified with it- 



Pp- 54- 55- Some modificatione in the description of the first 

 maxillae and maxilHpeds of Paridotca unguhta are supplied in the 

 account now given of the family Idafeidac- 



l^ 60- It should have been mentioned that the specimeu of 

 Sphi/rion laet'igatum was taken from a Gennjtfenis capens'tH, 

 locally known as the " King-Klipfish."
