  One 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  collected 
  durin<^ 
  the 
  Antarctic 
  

   Expedition, 
  and 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  by 
  the 
  

   Admiralty, 
  bearing 
  the 
  name 
  " 
  F. 
  carunculatus, 
  New 
  

   Zealand," 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  P. 
  verrucosus. 
  I 
  suspect 
  

   that 
  there 
  is 
  some 
  error 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  locality, 
  and 
  that 
  

   not 
  improbably 
  it 
  has 
  become 
  dissociated 
  from 
  the 
  other 
  

   specimens 
  collected 
  at 
  Keiguelen 
  during 
  that 
  voyage, 
  

   and 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  by 
  the 
  Admiralty 
  at 
  

   the 
  same 
  time. 
  The 
  specimen 
  was 
  probably, 
  therefore, 
  

   from 
  Kerguelen 
  Land, 
  and 
  not 
  from 
  New 
  Zealand.

  This
