Mr. Hugh Fulton on new Species of 



mentions having numerous specimens from different places on 

 the Greenland coast and from Iceland, and it is probable, as 

 Ktimpson suggests, that he failed to distinguish the two 

 species, as nearly all carcinologists have done since." 



A. Left cheliped of Pagurus pubeseens. 



B. Left cheliped of Pagurus Kroyeri. 



An examination of the specimens from European localities 

 in the National Museum and in the Peabody Museum at 

 New Haven does not disclose a single specimen of pubescent, 

 though they are all so labell'ed. May we not look for the 

 explanation of the matter here ? P. j^ubescens may not occur 

 in European waters. If only Kroyeri is found there, and it 

 is identical with Bell's Thompsoni^ then the name Thompsoni 

 will have to be applied to the so-called ji^wJescens of European 

 waters and to the Kroyeri of American waters. It is to be 

 hoped that European collections will be re-examined and the 

 result made known. In the meantime we shall not expect 

 British naturalists to recognize two species by separating 

 specimens with little hair from those having less, or to accuse 

 naturalists on this side of the water of having done tliis in 

 the past.
