Remarks. I have seen the only existing specimen, 

 which is kept in the museum at Paris. During a journey 

 in Paris, Mr. Dollfus had the kindness to borrow the glass 

 with this little specimen from the museum to show me 

 and as far as I can decide after an examination through 

 the glass of the little tube, in which the specimen was 

 preserved, I think that this species will eventually be placed 

 here. I give in Tb. VI Fig. 30 the contours of the telsum 

 with uropods as they seem to me to present themselves be- 

 cause the figure and description of it given by Dollfus are 

 not correct. 



Spherillo. 



Among the terrestrial Isopods which were discovered 

 during the United States exploring expedition, Dana sepa- 

 rated 4 new species, which he placed in his genus Sphe- 

 rillo; they were all found in New Zealand or in other is- 

 lands of the Pacific Sea; later he has added one new 

 species from California. Dana characterised his new ge- 

 nus to separate it from Armadillo, of which he had but one 

 species, {Armadillo speciosus from New Zealand), by the 

 uropods. meaning that Armadillo wanted the exopodit, 

 whilst Spherillo has the exopodit more or less developed. 

 If this character really will be found in Arm. speciosus Dana 

 and can be taken as sufficient to establish a new genus,
