manus, this species shares the characters of Pagurus 
and Clibanarius, though its affinities are more with the 
latter genus ; the chelipedes are subequal, a distinct ros- 
tral projection is. present, and the ocular peduncles are 
tolerably long and slender; at the same time the ophthal- 
mic scales are arranged as in Pagurus. He adds that 
‘the special features of Clibanarius strigimanus are the 
curious striated (stridulating ?) areas on the inner surface 
of the hand of each chelipede, and the narrow and acute 
terminal portions of the ophthalmic scales.’ 
In Bell’s ‘ History of British Stalk-eyed Crustacea,’ 
ten species are named and described as belonging to the 
genus Pagurus, but the majority of them are now differ- 
ently classified. Thus Pagurus Bernhardus (Linn.) and 
Pagurus ulidianus, Thompson, both become Eupagurus 
Bernhardus (Linn.) ; Pagurus Prideaux (needlessly altered 
to Prideauaii), Leach, and Pagurus cuanensis, Thompson, 
are likewise transferred to Hupagurus, though retaining 
their original specific names; Pagurus Thompsoni, Bell, is 
a synonym of Hupagurus pubescens (Kroyer), Pagurus Hor- 
besii, Bell, a synonym of Hupagurus sculptimanus (Lucas),' 
and a British species not mentioned by Bell, Pagurus 
tricarinatus, Norman, is now identified with Hupagurus 
excavatus (Herbst). Payurus Hyndmanni, Thompson, Pa- 
gurus levis, Thompson, and another British species not 
mentioned by Bell, Pagurus ferrugineus, Norman, are now 
transferred to the genus Anapagurus, the last-mentioned 
being a synonym of Anapagurus chiroacanthus (Lilljeborg). 
All the nine species are at a glance distinguished from 
Pagurus by having the right cheliped larger than the left. 
In Bell’s two remaining species the left cheliped is the 
larger. Of these Pagurus Dilwynii, Sp. Bate, is a synonym 
of Diogenes varians, Costa, thus leaving to the original 
genus no British species except Pagurus fasciatus, Bell, a 
species which may be the same as Pagurus striatus, La- 
treille, and which, at any rate as far as Bell was con- 
cerned, was not described from nature at all, but from a 
1G. O. Sars refers the Pagurus Forbesii, Bell, to the genus Spiro- 
pagurus.
