230 LIVERPOOL MARINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE REPORT. 



Two specimens, found during the cruise of the "Hyaena," 

 appear to be referable to this species, which has only been 

 previously found on the Cornwall coast. Hoek doubts 

 whether this is a good species. 



Family III. — Pallenid^. 



Pallene hrevirostris, Johnston. 



Pallene brevirostris, Johnston, Mag. of Zool. and Bot., vol. i, 

 1837 ; and Hoek, " Challenger" Report, p. 30. 



A single specimen of this species was found off Spanish 



Head, Isle of Man, depth 20 fathoms. 



Phoxichilidiumr femoratum (?), Rathke. 



Nymphon femoratum, Rathke, Naturh. Selsk. Skr., vol. i, p. 



201, 1799. 

 Orithyia coceinea, Johnston. Mag. of Zool and Bot., vol. i, p. 



378, 1837. 

 Phoxichilidium femoratum (Rathke), Hoek, "Challenger" 



Report, p. 32. 



One of the specimens dredged off Puffin Island during 

 the cruise of the " Hyaena " belongs undoubtedly to the 

 genus Phoxichilidium, and is probably the Orithyia coccinea 

 of Johnston, which Hoek regards as the same species as 

 Rathke's Nymphon femoratum. A further examination will, 

 however, be necessary before the matter can be settled con- 

 clusively. 



An immature specimen, obtained off Port Erin, Isle of 

 Man, from a depth of twelve fathoms, probably belongs to 

 this genus, but cannot be referred to its proper species. 



Family IV. — Phoxichilid^. 



Phoxichilus spinosus, Montagu. 



Phalangium spinosum, Montagu, Linn. Transact., vol. ix, p. 100, 



1808. 

 Phoxichilus sjnnosus (Montagu), Hoek, " Challenger " Report, 



p. 35.
