beyond all doubt that the Lesser Guillemot is perfectly distinct, 
and that the ‘Foolish Guillemot’ is at no season differently 
marked.” 
Another Red-necked Grebe was obtained, and a pair of Red- 
breasted Mergansers, the male in full adult plumage, very 
uncommonly met with in the West of England. I examined the 
stomach of the male, but could find nothing in it with the 
exception of a few intestinal worms. Several more Gannets were 
killed, a few Shovellers, and a second adult male Scoter. I hear 
that a large flock of Wild Swans was seen at Moorland, in 
Somersetshire, and my friend, the Rey. G. Robinson, writes from 
Ireland ‘that Wild Swans have been observed on Lough Neagh, 
and a Velvet Duck killed in Dublin Bay. 
NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON BRITTSE 
STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA. 
By Joan T. Carrtineron, F.L.S., anp Epwarp Lovert. 
(Continued from p. 142.) 
BrrorE commencing our observations on genera and species, 
we wish to draw the attention of our readers to a series of 
important papers, illustrated with plates, which have appeared in 
the British Association Reports, by Mr. C. Spence Bate, F’.R.S., &c., 
upon the ‘Present State of our Knowledge of the Crustacea.’ 
They are as follows :—Part I., On the Homologies of the Dermal 
Skeleton, in Report 1875. Part II., the same subject continued, 
in 1876. Part III., Correlation of Appendages, &c., in 1877. 
Part IV., On Development, in 1878. Part V., On Fecundation, &c., 
in 1880. In our first article of this series, at page 98, our remarks 
upon the ‘ Manual of Marine Zoology,’ by Mr. P. H. Gosse, F.R.S., 
do not quite fairly describe that work, which treats of the subject 
of Carcinology to the extent of fifty-seven pages, and includes 
diagnoses of the class, its orders, suborders, families, genera, 
with a list of species then known, and figures in most genera. 
In fact, want of space curtailed our intended eulogy of this 
most useful work, which is invaluable to the student of our 
marine fauna.
