XXIX. — Contributions to British Carcinology . — I. Characters of 

 undescribed Podophthalmia and Entomostraca. By the Rev. 

 Alfred Merle Norman, M.A. 



[Plates XIII. & XIV.] 



Under the above title I propose to publish, from time to time, 

 notes upon our rarer Crustacea, together with descriptions of 

 such new species as may come into my hands. I regret to learn 

 from Mr. Van Voorst that there is no prospect at present of a 

 new edition or supplement to Bell's ' History of British Crus- 

 tacea' being published; may I be allowed, however, through 

 this channel, to express a hope that Dr. Baird may be induced to 

 prepare a Supplement to his admirable ' Monograph of British 

 Entomostraca.'' Ample material is in existence ; and such por- 

 tion of it as is in my own collection would be most gladly placed 

 in his abler hands for description, if such a supplement were 

 undertaken. 



Subclass PODOPHTHALMIA. 



Fam. PaguridaB. 



Pagurus ferrvgineus, n. sp. PI. XIII. figs. 1-3. 



Pedes chelati ciliati, lsevcs, neque spiniferi neque granulati (praeter 

 quod margo carpi interior spinosulus est) ; margo brachii dextri 

 interior setarum scopas gerens. Manus dextra ovata ; sinistra 

 minor, angustior, lateribus subparallelis, supra baud angulata. 

 Qculorum pedunculi elongati. Longitudo 1 unc. 



The carapace in this species is somewhat depressed anteriorly, 

 with the margin not rostrate and scarcely tlexuous. The long 

 and slender eye-stalks reach to the middle of the last basal joint of 

 the external antennae, and to about one-third the length of the 

 last joint of the peduncle of the interior antennae. The first pair 

 of feet, which are very unequal, are clothed with fine silky hairs.
