The classification of these animals will therefore stand thus : — 



Genus Talitrus, 



*Orchestoi(lea, 

 Talorchestia, 

 Orchcstia, 



of which the first and last only are British. 



2. Li/si(/nassa Chausica in the synopsis (not Edwards's) is evi- 

 dently L- louyicornis of Lucas (' FiX])ed. to Algiers'). 



3. The genus Tetromatus, mihi, Pseudophthnlnnis, Stinipsoii, is 

 synonymous with AmpeJisca of Kroycr. This was kindly pointed 

 out to nie by Mr. Stimpsonf. 



4. The term PoJitoporeides cannot stand for that of the suh- 

 faniily as arranged in the synopsis, inasmuch as Fontoporeia of 

 Krciyer is itself so closely allied to Anonyx, that it must he j)laced in 

 the suhfamily Lysianassides. It is therefore proposed to adopt the 

 term Phoxides for the subfamily that embraces the genus Phoxus, &c. 



5. Phoxus Kroyerii, mihi, will be changed into P. sii)q>hx ; the 

 former specific name having previously been used by Mr. Stimpson 

 in the same genus. 



6. After P. IlolioUi, read Kroycr instead of mihi. 



7 . The genus Lonchomerus is evidently that of LaJasia of Lucas 

 ('Exped. to Algiers'). 



8. In the genus Iphimedia, the species I. Ehlance, mihi (Nat. 

 Hist. Review) is to be added. 



9. In the note relative to Gam. flumatilis, instead of to Edwards, 

 reference should have been made to Latreille, 'Diet, d'liist. Nat.' 



10. There is to be added to the genus Slphonocetus of Krciyer the 

 species Cerapus IJ'hitei of Gosse : this may probably be synonymous 

 with S. Kroyeranus, mihi. 



11. In the subfamily Corophiides, Unciola irrostrata of Say is 

 to be added. But from an examination of IMr. Gosse's specimen, 

 kindly placed by that gentleman in my possession for the pnrjjose, 

 the species appears to be synonj-mous with Glmiconome leucopiis of 

 Kroyer. 



12. After Hyperia ohlivia, read Kroyer instead of Edwards. 



13. Cyamus yracilis (Gosse) should have been C. Thomsoni, 

 Gosse, Ann. Nat. Hist. vol. xviii. 1855. 



I am, Gentlemen, 



Yours obediently, 



C. Spence Bate. 



* OrchestouJea tiiherculafa (Nicolet) is synonymous with Talitrus in- 

 sculpttis of Dana. 



t " There being now no animal named Tetromatus, it will be desirable 

 that the title of tlie subfamily Tetromatides should be changed into Atti- 

 2)discades."
