of the British ccast ; but I now record a second example. In 

 1875 T went to Salcombe for the express purpose of trying to 

 rediscover some of Montagu's species, and was fortunate 

 enougli to obtain a single example of this Amphipod where 

 our old British naturalist had procured it sixty-seven years 

 before. Shortly after I had found the Perei'onofus tlie Rev. 

 T. R. R, Stebbing kindly made for me the figures which I 

 here publish. 



The species has been described as Icridium fuscwn from 

 the Adriatic by Grube, and Delia Valle gives excellent 

 figures of it from Neapolitan specimens in his great work ; 

 and I am indebted to him for a Mediterranean specimen. 

 Stebbing, in his paper just published, institutes a family 

 Piiliadidge to receive this and four other closely allied genera, 

 and has corrected a mistake of previous writers who supposed 

 that Pereionotus had only two pair of uropods by the discovery 

 of the last uropods in a very rudimentary condition underlying 

 and completely concealed by the telson. The genus there- 

 fore lias first uropods biramous, second uniramous, " third 

 one-jointed, obscure, completely covered by the telson." \n 

 the allied PhJias serratus, Guerin, from the Mediterranean, 

 the second uropods are two-branched. The other genera of 

 the family have only as yet been found in New Zealand or 

 Australia. 



CalUanassa suhterranea (Montagu). 



This is another of Montagu's Salcombe discoveries, and on 

 a specimen of it he found the Isopod parasite lone thoracica 

 (Mont.). This parasite I was most anxious to procure, as at 

 that time it had not again been met with in our fauna *. 

 Unfortunately I did not find CalUanassa ; but by digging at 

 the sides of the pools in the salt-marsh on the eastern side 

 of the estuary Gehia stellata (Montagu) (= G. deltura, Leach) 

 was procured accompanied in its burrows by the mollusk 

 Lepion squamosum (see Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 6, vol. vii. 

 1891, pp. 276 & 388). 



Ophiuroidea. 



Oj^hwcnida hrachiata (Montagu), = OpMocoma hrachiata, 



Y orhtSj = Amphiur a neapolitana^ M. Sars,= Op kt'ocnida 



hrachiata, Lyman. 



This starfish was another of the discoveries of Montagu at 



Salcombe, and was rediscovered there by me on the visit 



• lone has since been found on CalUanassa at Jersey bj Messrs. Sinel 



and Hornell, and it is not rare at Naples.
