The genus Nephrops comprises ;il present 8 species, 6 of which arc inhabitants of the 

 Indopacific region. Xcphr. norivegicus (Linne), the Norway Lobster, is found on ail the Scandi- 

 navian coast, on that of Scotland, Holland, Belgium and France, all round the Irish coasts, 

 like also on the South coast of England, in the Mediterranean and Adriatic and finally on the 

 coast of Morocco. It has, however, not yet been recorded from the Hebrides, Shetlands or 

 Faeroes, but the Norway Lobster is so plentiful off the south coast of Iceland, that it forms 

 there the chief food of the cod (C. M. Selbie). Xcphr. rtibellus Moreira is known from the 

 coast of Brazil between 43° and 43°3o'W. of Greenwich; this species presents, in distinction 

 from Xcphr. n07"wcgicus^ the characters common to the indopacific species and a])pcars much 

 related to Xcphr. japonictis Tapp. Can. This species was described in 19(^3 b\- Caki.os Mokiika 

 in a ]>aper, entitled: "Estudos preliminares. Crustaceos. Rio de Janeiro, 1903 (Sociedade Nacional
