FOR the first time I am enabled to publish this interest- 

 ing little species as indigenous to our coasts. I found 

 three specimens amongst some small Crustacea, many of 

 which were very interesting, sent to me by Mr. Alder, by 

 whom they were taken in Salcombe Bay, Devonshire, in 

 the course of his investigations on that coast in search of 

 the nudi branchiate mollusca, the more immediate results 

 of which are well known by the splendid work of that 

 gentleman and Dr. Hancock, published by the Ray Society.
