ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA IN " SOUTH AFRICAN 



CRUSTACEA," PART L, 1900. 



Oil p. 30 in the reference to '* Limiparis. White, 1847/' the 

 generic name should be Linupartis- Attention was called to this 

 by Dr. Woodward in the Geological Magazine, vol. 7, p. 394, 

 where, however, the error is not traced back to its source in the 

 report on the Challenger Macrura. 



J"'- ZZ- ^o th^ ^^st of those who have used Astaais as the 

 generic name of the lobster may be added Westwood, in the 

 Entomologist's Text-book, p. loi, 1836. 



P. 37- In the last line the epithet " perplexing" is quite in- 

 appropriate to the statement quoted from Huxley, and the 

 comment upon it with which the paragraph ends on p, 38 is quite 

 beside the purpose. The mistake arose from a confusion 

 of the eighth somite of the body with what is sometimes called 

 the eighth thoracic somite. As my friend Dr. W. T. Caiman 

 promptly pointed out, there is only an infiniteisimal difference 

 between Huxley's observation that the second maxilliped in the 

 lobster is without an arthrobranchia, and the explanation by Boas 

 that this arthrobranchia is reduced to a pimple- 



P. 49. In the synonymy of AEgcon should have been included 

 a reference to Faxon's Stalk-eyed Crustacea of the Albatross, 

 Mem. Mus Comp. Z06I Harvard, vol. 18, 1805. where an im- 

 portant footnote to p. 134 discusses that genus (with the changed 

 spelling AEgaeon), and expresses the opinion that Bate's Poiito- 

 can's is to be identified with it- 



I^P- 54- 55- Some modifications in the description of the first 

 maxillae and maxillipeds of Paridotca ungulata are supplied in the 

 account now given of the family Idoteidac- 



i*- 6o- It should have been mentioned that the specimen of 

 Sphvrion laevigatum was taken from a Gemjpterus capensia, 

 locally known as the " King-KHpfish."
