LX. — British Isopoda of the Families ^gidse, Cirolanid*, 

 Tdoteidffi, and Arcturid*. By Canon A. M. NoRMAN,

[Plates XII. & XIII.] 



The purpose of this paper is to bring up our knowledge of 

 the Crustacea of the above-named families to the present 

 time. Most of the additions to our fauna are here first made 

 known. In Bate and Westwood's ' Sessile-eyed Crustacea' 

 the numbers of species described were : — ^Egidae 5, Ciro- 

 lanidfe 4, Idoteidge 7, Arcturid^ 3 (of these, Arcturus 

 gracilis was the male of A. longicornis) . The following notes 

 j-ecord— -iEgidge 10 (one of these, jIE. rosacea, a doubtful 

 British species), Cirolanidse 9, Idoteidas 11, Arcturidse 6. 



Besides the British Isopods there have been added such 

 species as have been taken by dredging-expeditions of the
