FAUNA OF THE OUTER WESTERN AREA OF THE CHANNEL. 355 



The associated anemone, Adamsia palliata, was only definitely 

 recorded in a few instances. It is most probable that this was an 

 omission, due to the constancy of its occurrence with the species. 



Eupagurus sculptimanus (Lucas). 



From one to three specimens at Positions 10, 11, 12, 16, 19, 34, 36, 



37, 40, 52, 80. 

 In shells of Turritella, Bentalmm, etc. 

 Depth, 42-51 fath. 



Anapagurus laevis (Thompson). 



Single or few specimens at Positions 5, 6, 11, 46, 60, and probably 

 present in other hauls. 



Depth, 42-49 fath. 



A single specimen was recorded with the commensal Polychaet, 

 Nereis fucata, at Position 6. 



Anapagurus hyndmanni (Thompson) ? 



Two specimens apparently belonging to this species were obtained 

 at Position 59. 



Depth, 49 fath. 



The species has been recorded from Shetland, the Frith of Forth, 

 the Firth of Clyde, Portaferry and Belfast Bay, Liverpool Bay, 

 coasts of Devon and Cornwall, and Channel Islands, cp. Bell (109), 

 Norman (11, 127, 128), Scott (133), Walker (136). 



BRACHYURA. 



POECELLANIDAE. 



Porcellana longicornis (Linnaeus). 



Eecorded at Positions 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 32, 53, 56, 58, 59, 63. 

 Depth, 40-50 fath. 



LEUCOSIIDAE. 

 Ebalia cranchi, Leach. 



At Positions 19 and 31. Apparently one specimen in each case. 

 Depth, 40-45 fath. 



Ebalia tumefacta (Montagu). 



One specimen at each of the Positions 19 and 63. 



Depth, 45-50 fath. 



The position of this species is far from satisfactory. The difficulty 

 of its identification appears to me to consist in the separation of it,
