Avglo-Norman Islands. 291 



interesting species, the existence of which was indicated to 

 me by Mr. Sinel, is Stenorhynchus cegyptiuSy Edw., which, 

 so far as I know, has not hitherto been seen out of the Medi- 

 terranean. This Stenorhynchus is only found about a small 

 rock situated near the entrance of the port of St. Helier on 

 the side of the Albert jetty, a rock which is uncovered only at 

 spring-tides ; moreover, it is not very abundant. Another 

 type which is also very rare, wvanoij Achceus Cranchii, Leach, 

 is found frequently at the Havre des Pas, at the Crabifere. 



The three species of Tnachus described by Bell occur at 

 Jersey. Inachns dorseftensis, Leach, and /. dorynchus, 

 Leach, are met with at various points of the southern coast of 

 the island, but never in great abundance. Inachus leptochiruSj 

 Leach, has been several times captured by Mr. Sinel with the 

 dredge in St. Aubin's Bay. Bell also regards it as a very 

 rare species. Pisa Gihbsii and tetraodon^ Leach, are common 

 everywhere. The genus Hyas^ allied to the preceding, is 

 represented by two species, H. coarctatus and a^-aneus, Leach, 

 which are met with but rarely in the products of dredgings ; 

 they are found at a depth of 5-10 fathoms off Gorey. This 

 is also the case with Eurynome aspera^ Leach, which never 

 quits a certain depth. 



The species of Xantho^ which are generally common enough 

 on our coasts, are not very frequent at Jersey. Xantho 

 fiorida^ Leach, is not so scarce as X. rividosa^ Edw. 



I will do no more than mention the following species, which 

 are distributed everywhere in profusion : — Pilumnus hirtellusj 

 Leach, Cancer 'pagurus^ Hell, Portunus jjuherjljea-chj jyusilluSj 

 Leach, arcuatusy Leach, Carci'tius mcenas. Leach, and Pinno- 

 theres 2>i sum ^ Leach. Portunus corrugatus, Leach, and depu- 

 rator^ Leach, are sometimes associated with them at La Motlie 

 and La E.ocque. P. marmoreus, Leach, has sometimes been 

 found by Mr. Sinel ; I have never met with it. Portunus 

 holsatus, Fab., and Portumnus variegatus^ Leach, are obtained 

 only with the dredge. The latter is very rare, and I have 

 never captured it. 



I may cite iurther Pirimela denticulata^ Leach, of which I 

 have collected some specimens at low water at Fort Elizabeth, 

 and with the dredge in St. Aubin's Bay; Ehalia Bryerii 

 and Penna7itiif Leach, which are obtained by the dredge in 

 the same bay; and Dromia vulgaris ^ Edw., which does not 

 live on the coast, but which the fishermen often bring up in the 

 baskets (pots) employed in fishing for lobsters, and in which 

 specimens of Inachus and Stenorhynchus and of Portunus 

 corrugatus may also be collected. To conclude the enume- 

 ration of the Brachyura 1 may note PorceUana lAatycheles^
