 signed by Alcock to a sub-family I.tipinae, and Ovalipes to a 

 sub-family Portuninae,

 The genus Fortumis was divided by de Haan into many sub- 

 genera. To one of these he gave the preoccupied name Occanns, 

 assigning to it the ;ingle species Cancer cruciatns Herbat. This 

 has been transferred to de Haan's next subgenus Charyhdis. 

 Fault was found with this name because of its resemblance to the 

 earlier Charybdea or Caryhdca of Peron and Lesueur. On this In- 

 adequate ground Goniosoma was substituted, which by the irony 

 of fate was itself really preoccupied.
