0)1 the (jciius Tnigosia, Graij. 169 



Two species have been recordod from Spitsbergen whicli 

 ]\Ii-. Kltoii did not meet; these are : — 



Leptyphatden hyperhorens, Stniiid (lo). — An adult male and 

 an immature female. 



Micvi/i>'i<intes fuscipalpis, C. L. K. — One female. 



Tliis is an extremely critical genus, and the identification 

 is very doubtful. It is far more likely to be M. m'yn'pes, 

 Sim., or some other form. It is absolutely necessary to have 

 males in order to be sure of the species.

XIV. — Note on the Genus Tragosia, Gray. By Arthur 

 Dendy, D.Sc, F.K.S., Professor of Zoology in the Uni- 

 versity of London (King's College). 



The genus Tragosia was proposed by Gray [1867] with 

 T. injundibuliformis as its type-species. This species is the 

 Isodictya infuHiiibHUformis of Bowerbank [186(), 1874 

 and the Halichondria infundibuliformis of Fleming [1828 

 and Johnston [1842]. Perhaps this is as far as it is safe 

 to go in tracing back the synonymy, but Johnston expresses
