SCYLLARUS AROTUS. 
ON SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FISHES AND GRUSTACEA. 
; By Tuomas Cornisu. 
To the kindness of Professor Bell I am indebted for the 
identification of the first specimen which I obtained of Scyllarus 
arctus, the pretty lobster-like crustacean here figured. This was 
in 1865." He thought at the time that it was the first English 
specimen procured; but I subsequently ascertained from him, 
and from the late Mr. Jonathan Couch, that the latter gentleman 
had anticipated me with two specimens taken from the stomachs 
of codfish, and I believe I was further anticipated by Borlase, 
the historian of Cornwall, who mentions “a fine shrimp” (which 
he took at Longrock, in Mount’s Bay), by a description which 
applies more nearly to S. arctus than to any other crustacean
