PHERUSA FUCICOLA. 257 



wards. If they be the same species as we suppose, they 

 are, when alive, of an amber or straw-colour, marked 

 with faint rose-coloured bands. 



The type of the species is in the British Museum, and 

 was obtained by Colonel Montagu, from rocky shores 

 in Devonshire, under stones, and at low tide under fuci. 

 The specimens which we consider of the same species 

 have been sent to us from Falmouth and Tenby, where 

 they were dredged by Mr. Webster. At Polperro they 

 have been taken by Mr. Loughrin ; Mr. Edward has sent 

 them to us from Banff; and Thompson recorded the 

 species in the " Annals of Natural History," for October, 

 1847, as taken at Youghal, on the coast of Ireland, by 

 Mr. R. Ball. A specimen, under the name of Amphithoe 

 microura, which appears to us to belong to this species, 

 was taken by Sig. A. Costa on the coast of Naples ; and 

 one described by Professor Milne Edwards, under the 

 name of Amphithoe Jurinii, was found at the island of 

 Chausay, on the Atlantic coast of France. It is also 

 recorded by Professor Bell as being among the Crustacea 

 brought home by Sir Edward Belcher from the Arctic 

 Seas.
