 a shrimp, its gastronomic exeitions are supplying food 

 through the remnants of a shapeless Oirripede to a degraded 

 Isopod. This remarkable arrangement on the body of a 

 hermit-crab, itself occupying the shell of a departed mol- 

 lusc, must be regarded as the result of special creation by

Cryptonisciis paguri, Fraisse, 1878, was found on Pelto- 

 cjasler Rodrigitczii, Fraisse, on Clibanarius rnuantliroims,

 Fraisse, from the Bay of Naples, is said to be round and 

 rolled together, very like the Gcohirops lerna^ocliscoides of

 Inachus scorjno, Fabricius, but that in any case it has to 

 draw its nourishment from the roots of the Sacculina.
