XXIX. — Contributions to British Carcinology. — I. Characters of 

 undescribed Podophthalmia and Entomostraca. By the Rev. 

 Alfred Merle Normax, M.A. 



[Plates XIII. & XIV.] 



Under the above title I propose to publish, from time to time, 

 notes upon our rarer Crustacea, together with descriptions of 

 sucli new species as may come into my hands. I regret to learn 

 from Mr. Van Voorst that there is no prospect at present of a 

 new edition or supplement to Bell's ' History of British Crus- 

 tacea' being published; may I be allowed, however, through 

 this channel, to express a hope that Dr. Baird may be induced to 

 prepare a Supplement to his admirable * Monograph of British 

 Entomostraca.' Ample material is iu existence ; and such por- 

 tion of it as is in my own collection would be most gladly placed 

 in his abler hands for description, if such a supplement were 

 undertaken. 



Subclass PODOPHTHALMIA. 



Fam. PaguridsB. 



Pagurus ferrvyineus, n. sp. PI. XIII. figs. 1-3. 



Pedes chelati ciliati, Iceves, neque spiniferi ncqae gramilati (praeter 

 quod marge carpi interior spinosulus est) ; niargo brachii dextri 

 interior setarum scopas gorens. Manns dextra ovata ; sinistra 

 minor, angustior, lateribus subparallelis, supra hand angulata. 

 Oculorum j)eduncHli elon^ati. Longitudo 1 unc. 



The carapace in this species is somewhat depressed anteriorly, 

 with the margin not i-ostrate and scarcely flexuous. The long 

 and slender eye-stalks reach to the middle of the last basal joint of 

 the external antenna, and to about one-third the length of the 

 last joint of the peduncle of the interior antennae. The first pair 

 of feet, which are very unequal, are clothed with fine silky hairs.
