114 CARCESrOLOGICAL NOTES ; 



Alpheus ventricosus Kingsley. 



Cryptophthalmus ventricosus Costa, Fauna Napoli, Crostacei, pi. vii, 

 f. 3.2 

 I place this species in this section with some doubt, as I know 

 nothing of the presence or absence of an antenual scale. Dr. Heller 

 (Crustaceen des siidlichen Europas, p. 272, 1863) regards this identical 

 with his Alpheus Icevimanus, but Costa's figure represents a widely dif- 

 ferent species. Dr. Heller also quotes as a synonym '^Cryptophthalmus 

 costce, Prestandrea Nuovi annali d. sc. nat. 1838, p. 298," a paper which 

 I have not seen. Dr. Heller's synonymy is, however, never to be 

 relied upon,

2 This work is one of the wonders of book-making. It has neither consecutive 

 pagination nor systematic numbering of plates, there being half a dozen " PI. I," 

 and others in similar proportion. The parts themselves are not numbered, nor are 

 the signatures dated or numbered. In the two copies which I have seen, the covers, 

 in which the parts were issued, were wanting and so I can not give the dates. 

 Some parts were apparently issued before the publication of the first volume of 

 Milne Edwards' Classic (1834), while others were not written until 1851.
