Mr. Hugh F\x\ton on hew Species of 



liientions having numerous specimens from different places on 

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

 Stimpson suggests, that he failed to distinguish the two 

 species, as nearly all carcinologists have done since." 



A. Left clieliped of Pagurus pubescens. 

 , B. Left cheliped of Pagurus Kroyeri. 



An examination of the specimens from European localities 

 in the National Museum and in the Peabodj Museum at 

 New Haven does not disclose a single specimen of puhescena, 

 though they are all so labelled. Slay we not look for the 

 explanation of the matter here ? P. pubescens may not occur 

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

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

 will have to be applied to the so-chWqA p)uhescens 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 this in 

 the past.
