A mimerical summation of tlie columns of the above table gives the 

 following: 



In addition to the above facts in regard to the distribution of the 

 species, it should be added that two of the species, Lyreidvs Bairdii 

 and Nepliropsis acuJeata, belong to genera heretofore known only from 

 the Pacific region, and each represented there by a single species only ; 

 while a third species, Lysiosquilla armata, has its nearest known ally in 

 a species known only from the same region. 



Of the fifty species enumerated, fourteen are described as new and 

 three others are indicated as jirobably new ; forty-three are here first 

 recorded as belonging to the New England fauna south of Cape Cod ; 

 twenty-eight are new to the whole fauna from Cai)e Hatteras to North- 

 ern Labrador; and twenty-one are new to America, including Green- 

 land. Of the forty-three species new to the Southern New England 

 fauna, fifteen are now known also from the New England fauna north 

 of Cape Cod 5 and of the remaining twenty-eight, four were already 

 known from the Straits of Florida, three from Greenland and Northern 

 Europe, and two from the Mediterranean.
