large. The albumi no-fatty lobules present a regular metameric 

 arrangement, as in the embryo of Aihalges paguri, Rathke. The liver 

 is very strongly contractile. The claw of the sixth pereiopod is 

 long and powerful ; the terminal rod short and very transparent. 



To sum up, in the principal features of its organization the genus 

 Pinnotherion seems to be especially allied to Grapsion ; but it is 

 clearly distinguished in the female sex by the form of the first 

 incubatory plate and of the ovary ; in the male sex by the arrange- 

 ment of the median ventral hooks. 



Pinnotherion vermiforme seems to be very rare, since we have 

 only met with a single couple, although we have examined hundreds 

 of Pinnotheres obtained from the various Acephalous Mollusca 

 enumerated above. — Connies Rendus, December 9, 1SS9, p. 914. 



Deep-sea Trawling off the S.W. Coast of Ireland . — Additional 

 Foraminifera. By Josni'ii Weight. 



With reference to the " Report of a De ep-sea Trawling Cruise off 

 the S.W. Coast of Ireland," Foraminifera, by Joseph Wright, pub- 

 lished in the ' Annals ' for December 1889, the following corrections 

 are necessary : — Rheophasc distorts, Brady, should be Hormosina Car- 

 ■penteri, Brady, as shown by further examinations; Teoctularia 

 agglutinins, d'Orb., and T. aspera, Brady, should be omitted for 

 the present as not altogether satisfactory. The following are some 

 additional species which have since been found : — 



llheophacc membranacea, Brady. Very rare. 

 Haplophragmium glomeratum, Brady. Common. 

 Textularia concava, Karrer. Not typical. Very rare. 

 Bolivina lobata (Brady). Very small. Very rare. 

 Cassidulina crassa, d'Orb. Very rare. 

 Lagena Orbignyana (Seg.). Very rare. 



marginata (W. & B.). Trigonal form. Very rare. 



fimbriata, Brady. Very rare. 



Nodosaria inflexa, Ess. Very rare. 



Globigerina sacculifera, Brady. Very small. Very rare.
