 Mr. Lansdown Guilding adds the '* Limace Carolinienne," 

 (Bosc. Hist. Nat. des Vers, i. 8. pi. iii. f. 1.), a species 

 "apparently allied to 0. occidentale." He corrects the 

 specific character of Leptopodia ovnata (lb. p. 335.), by 

 stating, that all the feet of tlic male are spinous in front. 

 He also corrects the specific name Ilclicina fasciafa (lb. 

 p. 339) by substituting for it II. occidentali,s, " the two 

 species being totally distinct." For the generic name 

 CaprcUa (lb. p. 341.) he likewise proposes to read Ple- 

 ~^- koc/tei/iis, " the former term having long since been 

 applied to an interesting group of Crustacea."
