The above species which is foundin abundance on the South-Western coast of Devonshire, is 
thus described by Linné in the second edition of Fauna Suecica: ‘ Thorace levi rostro supra 
serrato ; subtus 3-dentato, manuum digitis equalibus.” ‘‘ Rostrum lanceolatum, perpendiculare, 
acutum, supra octo crenis, infra tribus serratum.” Linné repeats in the last edition of his 
Systema nature the same character, and as it applies so exactly to the most common variety of 
this species, there cannot be the least doubt as to the correctness of the reference.
