1889. Fodocerus I'sopus, Walker, Proc. Biolog. See. Liver- 

 pool, vol. iii., p. 209, pi. xi., figs. 11-13, and 1890, 

 vol. iv., p. 250, pi. xvi., fig. 7. 

 " Fairly common in the harbour at Cullercoats and at other 

 places on the coast" (A. Mk.) ; Sunderland (G. S. B.) We 

 regard this as a small form of the foregoing species. N.D. 



Bruzeliella falcata {'Mon'i3.gu)=zFodoceri/sfaIcahis B.&W. 

 Off Berwick, 1863 ; Cullercoats ; off Seaham, 25-30 fathoms ; 

 off Sunderland (A. M. X.); Craster and 82 miles E. by X. 

 from the Tyne in 42-45 fathoms (A. Mk.). See Xorman and 

 Scott, " Crustacea of Devon and Cornwall," p. 94, for remarks 

 on generic name Bnizeliella. X.D. 



Bruzeliella pusilla (G. O. ?>a.xs)=Podocen(s minittus and 

 pu sill us G. O. Sars. 

 Eighty-two miles E. by X. from Cullercoats, 40-45 fathoms 

 (A. Mk.). Fodocerus Herdinani Walker and Fodocerus odon- 

 tonyx of G. O. Sars appear to be founded on a mere varietal 

 or abnormal state of the second gnathopods in which a 

 tubercle is produced in the middle of the inner face of the 

 finger ; indeed the typical specimen of Bruzeliella falcala as 

 figured by Montagu has a similar form of the nail. X. 



Jassa pelagica Leach. 



This is yassa capillata Bruzelius, Fodocerus capillatus 

 B. & W., yanassa capillata Sars, and Farajassa pclagica of 

 Stebbing.

Fam. 24.— COROPHIID.E 



Erichthonius Hunteri (Bate). 



Off Durham coast (G. S. B.) ; off Souter Point, 21 fathoms; 

 off Fames in 42 fathoms; off Cullercoats in 20-25 fathoms; 

 and 82 miles E. by X. from Tynemouth, 42-45 fathoms 

 (A. Mk.) The females in this genus so closely resemble 

 each other, that it is by no means easy to distinguish them if 

 not found in company with males. X.D.
