y Costa in the Bay of Tarentum and Eupagurus Bernliardus at 

 'pezia by Neumann. 



Eleven Marseillese species occur in a single other locality in the 

 ^lediterranean or at a few points distant from Marseilles and from 

 each other, namely : — 



Gebia deUura, Axius stirhynchus, Eupagurus Bernliardus and 

 timidus, Crangon trlspinosus and spinosus, Afelecyclus heterodon, 

 Macrop>sis Slabberi, SirieUa Clausii, armata, and crassijHS. 



On the other hand, some species are found in all the localities, at 

 Nice and Naples, in the Adriatic and in Algeria, or on the western 

 coast of Spain, such as : — 



Heterograpjsus Lucasii, Pacliygrapsiis mai-moratus, Carcinus 

 mcenas, Fisa tetmodon and Oihhsii, Stenorhynchus phcdangium and 

 loiigirostris, Ilia nucleus, Dromia vulgaris, Clibanarius misanthropus , 

 Fugurus striatus, Eupagurus anacJioretus and Frideauxii, ScyUarus 

 ui-sus, Nil-a edulis, and Crangon catapliractus. 



These are species peculiar to temperate seas with the exception 

 of the Clibanarius, which has been noted in boreal regions. Some 

 others occur only along the western shores of France without 

 passing north of the Channel ; such are Pachygrapsus marmoratus 

 and Carcinus mcenas [?J. Others ascend higher and abound in Eng- 

 land, namely Fisa Gibbsii, the two StenorJiynchi, Dromia vulgaris, 

 Eupagurus Frideauxii, Scyllarus ursus, and Nilxi edulis. A single 

 species, Fisa tetraodon, exists in England, but seems to be absent in 

 Gascony. 



Of the 124 Marseillese species there are 45 common to Gascony 

 and 55 belonging to the English fauna. On passing further to the 

 north the relationship becomes more distant — the boreal provinces 

 have scarcely 33 species which also occur at Marseilles. There is 

 scarcely any relationship to the arctic seas — only three species are 

 common, namely Geryon longipes, Eupagurus Bernliardus, and 

 Nebalia bipes, and the first and third of these are abyssal. 



The northern shores of Algeria have 71 species in common with 

 Marseilles. The Canarian fauna contains scarcely 25 Marseillese 

 species, a number which rises to 32 by the addition of some species 

 from Senegambia and the Cape Verd. These are : — 



J. lagusia squamosa, Nautilograpsus minutus, Facliygrapsus mar- 

 moratus, Gonoplax rhomboides, Carcinus mcenas, Bathyuectes longijjes, 

 Liocarcinus holsatus, Fortunus corrugatus and pusillus, Erip>liia spini- 

 frons, Xantlio rivulosa, Lambrus massena, Fisa armata and tetraodon, 

 Maia squinado, Machus dorliynclius, Calappa granulata, Dorippe 

 lunata, Dromia vulgaris, Forcellana platycheles and longicornis, 

 Diogenes varians, Galathea stricjosa and squamifera, Virbius viridis, 

 Eupagurus excavatus and Frideauxii, Scyllarus ursus, Gnatliopliyllum 

 elegans, Fcdannon treillianus, and Squilla mantis. 



Thus the Podophthalmous fauna of Marseilles includes 33 species 

 which ascend into the boreal provinces and 33 in common with the 

 Canaries, Cape Verd, and Ssnegambia. Of the latter 10 do not go 

 further north than Marseilles or Portugal, namely : —
