des Herrn Capitan Horn. I. Theil. Die Reptilien , Amphi- 

 bien, Fische, Mollusken, Brachiopoden, Krebse, Panto- 

 poden und Echinodermen« by Georg Pfeffer in Jahrb. d. Ham- 

 burger Wissensch. Anst. Jahrg. 7. 1889. p. 83. By this work the 

 geographical distribution of some Crustaceans mentioned by me must 

 be extended to the Murman coast. As not before observed along 

 that coast Pfeffer enumerates Eupagurus puhescens ^ Sclerocrangon 

 boreas, Hippolyte Gaimardii, H. spinus, H. turgida, Phryxus ahdomi- 

 nalis and Caprella septentrionalis . 



The collection of marine invertebrated animals made in Cumber- 

 land Sound by the German Expedition 1882 — 1883 was worked up by 

 G. Pfeffer and the result published in a paper cited by me 1. c. in 

 the introduction p. VI footnote. Now I find it was a very poor one, 

 at least, on Crustaceans. The collection did not contain more than the 

 following species: Hippolyte aculeata, H. Atnazo n.sp., Ganimarus cf. 

 ßuviatilis Roesel and Caprella linearis. The last species I supposed to 

 be observed the first time by me on the coast of America, viz. , in the 

 harbour of St. Johns, New Foundland, which is, thus, proved an error. 



It is very much to regret that I had no opportunity, before print- 

 ing my paper, to look into an important work on Crustaceans 

 from Spitzbergen by Julius Vosseler. It appeared in Willy Küken- 

 thal's »Beiträge zur Fauna Spitzbergens. Amphipoden und 

 Isopoden von Spitzbergen« in Arch, für Naturgesch. 55. Jhg. 

 1. Bd. 1889. p. 151. The list contains 25 Amphipods and 2 Isopods, 

 five of which are new for the fauna of Spitzbergen and five for the 

 science. Among the former , Uve &Mih.ox va.eni\ox\& Amp elise a propin- 

 qua Boeck, which species as well as Ampelisca macrocephala Lilljeborg 

 I consider only as a variety or a younger stage of Kr oyer's A. Esch- 

 richtii observed before on Spitzbergen. 



Among the new species established by Vosseler I find an Ano- 

 nyx of which I am not quite sure if it must be regarded as identical 

 with the form described by me as Anonyx afßiiis (1. c. p. 24). I see 

 some slight differences between my species and Vosseler's Anonyx 

 Kükenthali. The main deviation which my form shows from this is 

 the different shape of the inferior posterior corner of the third meta- 

 som-segment. In my specimens this is but little curved up in a very 

 small point. Anonyx Kükenthali as figured by Vosseler in tab. 8 

 fig. 1 has this process much more distinct and relatively greater. After 

 a careful examination of the four individuals at my disposal of AnonyX' 

 affinis and after a comparison of these with the short description gi- 

 ven by Vosseler of his Anonyx Kükenthali I find some other differen- 

 ces chiefly in the structure of the accessory flagellum and in the re-
