 species of Atergatis, of which A. sculptus, A. exsculptus, and A. Savignii 

 are not elsewhere reported. Lambrus pelagicus, Actcea asper, Rup- 

 pellia tenax?, Thalamita diaptalis, are other species, besides many that

 lowing genera : Egeria, Doclea, Micippa, Tiarinia, Menaithius, Lambrus,

 of Xanihidce and Lupince are abundantly represented in the Liukiuan 

 province, so also the Calappince, ScyUaridce, Sesarmince, Palinuridce,
