DR. W. T. CALMAN ON A COLLECTION OF 



Among the species already known, concerning which I am able to furnish fresh details, 

 the most interesting is the parasitic Hapalocarcinus marsupialis. Briefly described forty 

 years ago by Stimpson, it appears to have escaped re-examination by carcinologists, 

 though the curious gall-like growths to which it gives rise on corals are well known. 



The occiu'rence of the three known Inuo-Pacific species of Palmis [Cymopolia), two 

 of which have been recorded hitherto only from widely distant localities, has afforded an 

 opportunity for a detailed examination of their distinctive characters. 



In the case of certain species described by Adams and White and by Miers, I have 

 been able, from an examination of the type specimens in the British Museum (Natural 

 History), to sui^plement the original accounts and to make one or two alterations in the 

 matter of nomenclature. 



1 am much indebted to Prof. P. Jeffrey Bell and to Mr. R. I. Pocock for their 

 courtesy and kindness in facilitating my work among the collections under their charge. 

 My thanks are also due to Prof. E. L. Bouvier and Dr. J. G. de Man for giving me 

 information and advice on various points, and to Dr. Chas. Chilton for the loan of 

 literature relating to Australasian Crustacea*. 



As regards nomenclature and classification, I have followed, where jjossible, the 

 important work of Dr. A. Alcock, ' Materials for a Carcinological Pauna of India,' now 

 in course of publication. The extensive collections upon which his revision of the 

 Indian species is based, and the exhaustive way in which the bibliography of the subject 

 is treated, render this work indispensable for the student of the Indo-Paciiic Crustacea.

 little-known work on the Crustacea of the Red Sea. Prof. Walker, of this College, has been good enough to translate 

 for me several passages to which reference will be made.
