448 Miscellaneous. 



A further study of the cranium of Eoanthropus shows that the 

 occipital and right parietal bones need slight readjustment in the 

 reconstruction, but the result does not alter essentially any of the 

 conclusions already published. The nasal bones, now described, are 

 t^-jDically human, but relatively small and broad, resembling those of 

 some of the existing Melanesian and African races. The right lower 

 canine tooth may be regarded as belonging to the imperfect man- 

 dibular ramus already described. It is relatively large and stout, 

 and, like the molar teeth, it has been much worn by mastication. 

 The worn surface on the inner aspect extends down to the gum, 

 and proves that the upper and lower canines completely interlocked, 

 as in the apes. In shape, the canine resembles the milk-canine of 

 man and that of the apes more closely than it agrees with the 

 permanent canine of any known ape. In accordance with a well- 

 known paheontological law, it tlierefore approaches the canine of 

 the hypothetical Tertiary Anthropoids more nearly than any 

 corresponding tooth hitherto found. 



• The rolled fragment of an upper molar of Hhinoceros is highly 

 mineralized, and has the appearance of a derived fossil. It is 

 specifically indeterminable, but seems to agree best with the teeth 

 of Bh. etruscus or Rh. mercld (= leptorhimis Owen).

Bistrihut'ion of Limnoria ligiiorura (Rathke) and Liranoria aiit-

Since the MS. of my paper on " The Species of Limnoria" was sent 

 to the printer, I have received Dr. W. M. Tattorsall's lleport on 

 'The Schizopoda, Stomatopoda, and non-Antarctic Isopoda of tlio 

 Scottish National Antarctic Expedition,' in which he states that 

 one specimen of Limnoria liynorum was found among other Isopoda 

 collected by the 'Scotia' at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands. Ho 

 says, "I can find no appreciable difierencos from northern spcciracns 

 of "the same species" (Trans. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh, vol. xlix. p. 882, 

 1913). 



Dr. Tattersall also draws attention to the fact that Mr. Stebbmg 

 has recorded this species from PortElizabelh, Soutli Africa (' South 

 African Crustacea,' part iv. p. 50, 11J08). Mr. Stebbing's specimens 

 were found burrowing in wood, and he ascertained by dissection 

 that they agreed with the description and figures of the Euroj)can 

 species given by Sars. I had overlooked Mr. Stebbing's record of 

 the species in South Africa. 



Jjimnoria antarctica has recently been recorded from Deceptiou 

 Island, in the South Shetland Islands, 1)y Miss IF. llichanlson 

 (' Denxieme lOxpi-dition Antarctique Francaise. (Inistaces Isopodes,' 

 p. 8), whose ])fiper also reached jw after my MS. had l>ecn sent to 

 the i)riiiter.
