that it is found all over tlie European shores in precisely similar situations, that is to saj' in brackish pools, at or above 

 liio-h-water mark, which are liable to become warm througli exposure to the sun's rays. These are in no respect 

 distinguishable from European specimens— (G. S. Brady, Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 215.) 



1 Pfeffer records Rh(ichotro2ns aeukatus (Lepechin) from the Kerguelen region (Ergehnisse der deutschen Polar- 

 Expeditioyien) ; this is probably the species named by Stebbino FJincliotro^ns henjudeni. 



^ In the form of the antero-lateral angles of the cephalon, and of the postero-lateral angles of the third segment 

 of the pleon, this species \_Anonyx kcrgueleni] to some extent re.sembles (1) Hippomedon holbolli, Kroyer, as described 

 by BoECK, as well as (2) H. ahysd, Goes, and (3) Anonyx pumilus, Lilljeborg — all from the Northern Sea. . . . The 

 eyes, also which are well marked in the species just referred to, are not visible in any of the specimens of A. kergueleni. —

3 Studer's Serolis oralis in a synonym of Scrolis scptemcarinat,a, Miers, as Studer himself supposed when he 

 published his description. 



* This species [Nymphon antarcticum = N. gracilipcs'] is allied to N. grossipcs, O. Tab., as described by Kroyer, 

 from the northern seas, but differs somewhat in the length of the neck, and in the proportions of the joints of the legs 

 and appendages.— (E. J. Miers, Phil. Travis., vol. 168, p. 212.) 



' E. A. Smith introduces his description of the MoUusca collected by the British Transit of Venus Expedition at 

 Kerguelen thus :— Tlie Malacological fauna resembles generally that of the Falkland Islands and Soutli Patagonia. 

 More than half of the genera and seven or eight of the species found at Kerguelen Island are known to occur at those 

 localities, and further research will probably discover a still greater number of genera and species to be common to 

 these two, longitudinally, so widely separated localities. "With respect to their latitudes the difference is unimportant, 

 since they both range between 49° and 54° S. lat. As the Cape of Good Hope, Tasmania, and South West Australia 

 are the nearest points of mainland, it might be. expected that some resemblance to the fauna of those countries might 

 be olwervable. However, it is not so, as far as our present knowledge extends. Many of the shells from Kerguelen 

 Island have the generally unattractive appearance, as regards coloration, which so frequently obtains in species found 

 in cold climates. Indeed, some of them seem to be southern representatives of boreal types. The Neobuccinitm, 

 Trophon, Saxicava, Kellia, Yoldia, Badala, and Doris, are remarkable instances of similarity to northern forms.— 

 {Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 167.) 



In the actual state of our knowledge, the malacological fauna of Kerguelen is composed of 26 species. This fauna 

 is eminently austral. It is intimately related to that of New Zealand, by the presence of some common species 

 (Purpura striata, Venus stiUMuryi, Mytilm camdicidas), and by that of the genus Struthiolaria, which is also known
