NOTES AND MEMORANDA. 
The Distribution of Unciola crenatipalma, Bate——In my Notes on the 
Marine Invertebrate Fauna of Plymouth for 1892, in the last number 
of this Journal, I stated (p. 337) that although this interesting 
Amphipod is plentiful at Plymouth, its distribution seems to be very 
restricted, and that it is absent, among other catalogues, from 
my friend Mr, A. O. Walker’s lists of the L. M. B. C. Amphipoda. 
Mr. Walker has, however, kindly called my attention to the fact that 
he has recorded the capture of several specimens of Uneiola irrorata, 
Say, on the coast of Anglesey (Proc. Liv. Biol. Soc., iv, 1890, 
p. 243), and that he had little doubt that this name should really 
be U. crenatipalma, Bate. Upon comparison with some specimens 
of U. crenatipalma from Plymouth, Mr. Walker has been able to 
confirm the identity of the forms from the two localities, so that his 
record of U. irrorata in reality extends considerably the northern 
range of U. crenatipalma. The true U. irrorata of Say, he tells 
me, may be at once distinguished from U. crenatipalma, Bate, by the 
lower angles of the last two pleon segments, which in the former 
are produced into curved points, a distinction mentioned neither by 
Stebbing (Chall. Amphipoda) nor Bonnier (Bull. Sci. France, &c., 
1889, t. xx, pp. 8373—398). The known distribution of U. crenati- 
palma, from north to south, is now, therefore, as follows :—England : 
Anglesey (A. O. Walker) ; Weymouth (Gosse) ; Plymouth (Garstang). 
France : Dunkirk (de Guerne and Chevreux) ; Boulonnais (Bétencourt 
and Bonnier) ; Luc-sur-Mer, Belle-Ile and Croisic (Chevreux) ; Gulf 
of Gascony and north coast of Spain (Chevreux).—W. Garsrana. 
Raniceps raninus, Linn.—On the 23rd June, 1892, I received a spe- 
cimen, 334; inches in length, which had been taken in a shove-net on 
the shore opposite New Clee Railway Station. No other examples 
were forthcoming until October, when, on the 25th and 26th, we 
took three on the Trinity, and four on the Middle Sand prawning 
ground in the shrimp-trawl. Of these, one measured 44 inches, and 
the others were about the same size. Two of them were placed in 
the Cleethorpes Aquarium, where they lived for some days, choosing, 
in the daytime, the darkest corner of the tank. One died, apparently 
from the effects of chafing ; and the other, which seemed healthy,
