the lagoon beach of Funafuti, rests on a statement by Sykes that 
P. bellum equals P, sowverbier, Montrouzier, and upon the illustra- 
tions of that, which he omitted to quote.” 
The range recorded in the Central Pacitic is New Caledonia,

‘'wo specimens from the lagoon beach. 
This species, known only from Tahiti and the Paumotus, is 
perhaps equivalent to the earlier but unfigured P. striatum, 
Philippi.

The following records from the Central Pacific are quoted by 
Tapparone Canefrit : New Guinea, New Ireland, New Hebrides, 
New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa, Society, and Ellice. Further 
instances from the Solomons, Queensland, Carolines, Marquesas,

Extremely abundant at and above high water-mark, among 
stones and vegetation. 
Tapparone Canefri traces this through the following archipela- 
goes: New Guinea, New Ireland, New Hebrides, New Caledonia, 
Samoa, Ellice, Gilberts, Society, and Carolines. Crosse} reports 
it from Woodlark [sland on the authority of Montrouzier ; and 
Museum material enables me to add the Solomons.

Several living specimens were collected at Funafuti under sticks

habits,” says Garrett, ‘all the groups from the Marquesas and 
Paumotus to the Viti Islands.”
