In 18()8 I pointed out that Bate and Westwood'.s II. ohlivia 

 was not that of Kroyer; and as no other sj)ecimen has since 

 been found, I cannot help suspecting that Bate has described 

 and figured the second limb of the first gnathopods as the 

 second gnathopod : if so P. gracilipes may hereafter become a 

 synonym of Kroyer's sj)ccics. 

 ' JIab. Banff (T. Edward) *. 



• In confirmation that Bate and Westwood's figure is incorrect, it 

 may be noticed tbat the figure is taken from a specimen sent to the 

 authors by the late Thomas lulward of Banff. Now I have specinens of 

 the true P. otiliria received from him, and in T. I'^dward's " Stray Notes 

 on some of the smaller Crustaceans," .Jourii. I'roc. Linn. 8oc. vol. ix. 1807, 

 pts. 143 and KW3, we are told that " //. ol>Hcia " occurs in enormous siioals 

 at times in the Moray Firth, fillinjr the rock-pools *• witli literally one 

 living ma-ss '' and ca.'^t up on the shore as "a ridge or wall extending 

 more than one hundred feet in length, and varying frtmi one to two 

 inches in height and breadth."
