A species of Gonodactylus was collected by Prof. Ilartt at the 

 Reefs of the Abrolhos and at Caravellas, Province of Bahia, which 

 does not diifer from the common West Indian and Florida species. 

 The American species is, however, very likely distinct from the true 

 G. chiragra of the old world. 



In the foregoing list 32 species are mentioned, of which 21 appear 

 to be new to the fauna of Brazil; and of these 21 species, 6 are des- 

 cribed as new to science, and the remaining 15 are all species pre- 

 viously known from the West Indies or Florida. 



In order to give a better idea of the crustacean fauna of the whole 

 Brazilian coast, I append the following list. 



List of the described species of Brazilian Podopthalmia. 



Previous to Milne Edwards' general work,* scarcely anything was 

 known of the Crustacea of South America, and even in this work 

 Edwards records Brazil as the habitat of very few sj)ecies. Some 

 additional species, however, are recorded in his later papers on the 

 Ocypodoidea,f and Alphonse Milne Edwards has added a single species 

 in his monograph of the Portunids.J A few other species are men- 

 tioned in short papers by Bell,§ Weigman,|| and Bate,^ and quite a
