50*. Urothoe norvegica, Boeck. 



1876. Urothoe norvegica, Boeck, (1.38) p. 220, pi. vi. fig. 9, pi. vii. fig. 4.

 1891. Urothoe norvegica, G. 0. Sars, (142) p. 138, pi. xlvii. 



Ilab. Stebbing gives as his only aathoritv " The Shetland 

 Isle:?, taken by the Rev. A. M. Norman in 18(37." I have 

 not these sj)eciniens in my collection, nor, indeed, any Uro- 

 thoe taken in 1867. Mr. D, llobertson recorded it from 

 Cumbrae, but clearly what he meant was U. Bairdii, and 

 he adopted Boeck's nomenclature, which makes that Urothoe 

 a synonym of U. norvegica.

Fam. IV. Phoxocephalidae. 



Genus 1. Phoxocephalus, Stebbing. 



= rhoxus. Kroyer (name preocc). 

 (Including Parajjhoxus, G. O. Sars, and Metajjho.vus, J. Bonnier.) 



Phoxocephalus appears to be a natural genus, and attempts 

 to divide it on very slight variations of the mandible break up 

 that natural group. The allied IJarpinia is a parallel case ; 

 it might be split up on similar trivial differences in the 

 mandible (see Sars's figures of mandible in //. plumosi, 

 H. pectinatn^ and //. cremilata) .
