Stations 45 and 46. off Kev West, shallow water: Tortugas. 

 dredged. 



Of the two forms described bv A. Milne Edwards as L. 

 agassizii and L. -pulchellus. it is evident that the first cannot 

 be the one described by Stimpson as Pilumnus agassizii, be- 

 cause it has not the " anterior and antero-lateral areolets 



. naked and thicklv granulated."' and the •• penult and 

 antepenult joints \oi the ambulatory feet] armed with minute 

 spines above." Several lots of L. agassizii 1 Stimpson =L. 

 pulchellus A. Millie Edwards | were dredged by the '-Alba- 

 tross " ? in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. while a 

 large series of L. agassizii A Milne Edwards was collected in 

 Bermuda bv Dr. G. Brown Goode in 1S76-77. Some of the 

 specimens of the University Expedition are intermediate be- 

 tween the two forms. I propose the name L. agassizii bermu- 

 densis for the subspecies from Bermuda.

REMARKS ON EURYPANOPEUS AND ALLIED GENERA. 



If the species alreadv included in the genus Eurypanopeus 

 A. Milne Edwards {=Panopeus Milne Edwards, name pre- 

 occupied) be retained in it. the genus will embrace not only 

 species hitherto referred to Pauopeus, Eurytium and Eury- 

 panopeus. but others now included in Micropauope. Neopanope 

 and Xanthias \=JCa}ithodes\. which last is closely connected 

 with Xantho and Lophoxanthus on the one hand and Lepto- 

 dius and Xanthodius on the other. It is obvious that no good 

 purpose will be subserved by uniting all these diverse forms. 

 It is not possible to separate any of these genera from all the 

 others by a single character, such as the shape of the finger
