 sharp tooth on each side of the carapace behind the distally 

 rounded ocular processes- A female specimen, measuring fully 

 17 mm., had the marsupiuni bulging with numerous rather large 

 eggs. The species has previously been taken in 90 fathoms off 

 the south-west coast of Ireland, and in 748 fathoniis off the 

 Portuguese coast. The South African specimen above 

 mentioned was taken in 245 fathoms, Table Mountain east 41 

 miles. Other specim,'ens, also females, with the eggs showing a

The above reference will furnish several others to works of 

 importance by H. J. Hansen and others on this family. It 

 may, however, be added that in the Proc. Acad. Phila- 

 delphia, p. 187, 1 89 1, Mr. J. E. Ives appends to his description 

 oi Cirolana viagara, n. sp. a list of 33 species of C/r(?/(a';z« w^hich 

 Tiad been named up to that date. This list was obviously 

 drawn up before the additions and corrections published by 

 Hansen in the preceding year with regard to this family 

 could have come under the author's notice. It has its owr 

 independent value. 



A new genus, CalopisthuSy is added to the family by Miss 

 H. Richardson in the Trans. Connect. Acad., vol. 12, p. 289, 

 J902.
