ANONYX EDWARDSI. 97 



British specimen. On comparing it with Kroyer's figure 

 in his magnificent work cited above, the following differ- 

 ences will be found. Kroyer represents the palm of the 

 first hand as serrated, as also the inner margin of the 

 finger. The serrature is, however, not deep, and we do 

 not think that we should be justified in making a separate 

 species upon characters so trivial, unsupported by other 

 characters. We have also observed a slightly-serrated 

 margin in some specimens. 



We have received specimens of this species from the 

 Moray Frith, sent to us by the Rev. Geo. Gordon, and 

 Mr. Edward, of Banff, who has forwarded to us the largest 

 specimen that we have seen. From Falmouth it has 

 been sent us by Mr. Webster ; and we have dredged it 

 in Plymouth Sound.
