approaches most nearly to Ectatotarsus. No doubt many new 
and intermediate forms remain to be brought to light from 
among the numerous islands of the Pacific, few of which have 
as yet been visited by the naturalist, but every one of them 
probably having its own endemic species *.

D. obelia, Fleming. 
Very common, on shells, &c., from moderate depths and from

* M. le pére Montrouzier, a French missionary, has been for some time 
sending collections from some of these islands—Woodlark, Lifu, Balade, 
Art, &c.—to Paris, and they are being published in the ‘ Annales’ of the
