132 Mr. E. J. Miers on Spitzbergen Crustacea. 



distribution of each of the species (in (Efvers. Kongl. Vetensk. 

 Akad. Forhandl. p. 161) ; in addition to all which are men- 

 tioned below, be records many others from Spitzbergen. 



The long-known and widely distributed Isopod JEga psora. 

 Pennant {2Ega emarginata^ Leach), has not, to my knowledge, 

 been obtained in these seas before. 



In 1865 the Spitzbergen Amphipoda were dealt with by 

 A. V. Goes (in (Efvers. af K. Vet. Akad. Forh. 1865, pp. 517- 

 536, pis. 6). Anonyx bidenticulatus, S. Bate, is the only one 

 in the present collection that is unnoticed by him. Mr. 

 Spence Bate, in the Catalogue of Amphipodous Crustacea in 

 the collection of the British Museum (1862), referred to this 

 species as synonymous with A. nugax^ Phipps ; but a careful 

 comparison of the two forms leads me to diifer from him in 

 opinion, and to consider them to be quite distinct from one 

 another *. 



The cirriped Balanus porcatus, Da Costa, is another addi- 

 tion to our knowledge of the Spitzbergen fauna ; and so is one 

 of the two species of Pycnogonida collected, Nymphon gracile.

* Among the shells collected were some miscellanea not seen by me, 

 which were sent to the Rev. A. M. Norman for examination. Fragments 

 of Vertumnus serratus. Fab., and of Byblis Gaimardi, Kroyer, were 

 detected by him. Accepting his determinations, I include them in the 

 list and give their synonymy. Their localities were not stated in the 

 letter.
