and others concerning the Podophthalmia and Edriophthalmia of the 

 Red-Sea coasts. In the latter year also was published M. A. Milne- 

 Edwards's enumeration (with descriptions of a few new species) of 

 the Crustacea of Reunion*. 



In 1868 M. A. Milne-Edwards published an account of the 

 Crustacea collected by M. A. Grandidicr at Zanzibar and Mada- 

 gascar (Cape St. Marief) ; and in the following year, in the third 

 volume of Baron C. von der Decken's 'Travels in East Africa' 

 appeared the careful account bj T Dr. F. Hilgendorf of the Crus- 

 tacea collected in that Expedition, to which is appended a very 

 useful and complete systematic list, by Dr. E. von Martens, of 

 all the known Crustaceans of the East- African coasts and islands 

 adjacent |. 



In 1874 a Report appeared by C. K. Hoffmann, entitled ' Sur les 

 Crustaces et Echinodermes de Madagascar et de lTle dc la Reunion '§, 

 based upon the extensive collections made by the author himself and 

 by MM. Pollen and van Dam, wherein also numerous species are 

 enumerated from the Mauritius. 



In 1878 the Crustacea of Mozambique were dealt with by Dr. F. 

 Hilgendorf, in the very useful memoir entitled " Die von Hrn. "W. 

 Peters in Mozambique gesammelten Crustaceen"|| ; a few species 

 from the same locality had been previously enumerated by Prof. J. 

 Bianconi in 1869 ^[. 



In 1879, in the " Report of the Naturalists of the British Transit- 

 of-Venus Expedition," were enumerated the Crustaceans collected 

 at the island of Rodriguez, all, except Talitrus gulliveri, Podo- 

 phthalmia. and nearly all common and widely distributed species**. 



In 1880 was published the excellent account, by Dr. E. Richters, 

 of the Decapoda in Prof. Mobius's work on the marine fauna of the 

 Mauritius and Seychellestt, to which frequent reference is made in 

 the following pages. Since the appearance of this work, I have 

 given X+ an account of some new or remarkable species collected at 

 the Mauritius by M. V. de Robillard.
