 umberland ; Sleat Sound, Skye; Firth of Clyde (^A. M. N.) ; 

 Guernsey (^G. S. Brady) : Mus. Nor. Ardbear Bay, Ireland 

 {Brady da Robertson) ] Liverpool district [A. 0. W.) ; Firth 

 of Forth (T. S.) ; Loch Fyne {Sir J. Murray, fide T. S.) ; 

 Goodrington Sands, Devon {Stehbing). 



Distrib. Denmark {Meinert) ; Western France {Barrois &c.) . 



56*. TJrotlwe norvegica, Boeck. 



1876. Urothoe norvegica, Boeck, (138) p. 226, pi. vi. fig. 9, pi. vii. fig. 4. 

 1887. Urothoe norvegica, Stebbing, /. c. p. 21, pi. iv. B. 

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



Hob. Stebbing gives as his only authority " The Shetland 

 Isles, taken by the Rev. A. M. Norman iii 1867." I have 

 not these specimens in my collection, nor, indeed, any Uro- 

 thoe taken in 1867. Mr. D. Robertson 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. 



Distrib. Trondhjem Fiord, Norway (.4. M. iV.) : Mas. 

 Nor. Sars records it in various depths from 20 to 100 fathoms 

 from the south of Norway to West Finmark.

 rington, near Torquay {Stebbing) ; Largo Bay, Firth of Forth

Fam. IV. PhoxocephalidsB. 



Genus 1. Phoxocephalus, Stebbing. 



= Phoxus, Kroyer (name preocc). 

 (Including Paraphaxus, G. 0. Sars, and Metaphoxus, 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 Harpinia is a parallel case ; 

 it might be split up on similar trivial differences in thy 

 mandible (see Sars's figures of mandible in //. plu/nosuf 

 H. pectinata, and H. crenulata).
