202 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
In addition to the Channel and Thames estuary, already 
mentioned, this species has been recorded, amongst other 
localities, from St. Andrew’s, Shetland (frequent on hard stony 
ground) ; Orkney, Guernsey, Dublin Bay, Galway (very common) ; 
Belfast, Scarborough, Aberdeen coast, the Hebrides, and South 
Devon. In‘ The Zoologist,’ 1877, Mr. Cornish writes that it is 
not common in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall. 
Stenorhynchus egyptius, Milne-Edwards. 
This species is described by M. Milne-Edwards as a Mediter- 
ranean form, common near the shores of Egypt and Sicily; and 
is also referred to by Bell in « short foot-note. It is of the same 
general character as the preceding species, but with several marked 
distinctions. 
The carapace of this species, though broadly resembling 
S. rostratus, is more elongated and graceful; the rostrum is 
covered with a great quantity of hooked hairs, which distinguish 
it at once from S. longirostris, and it is much longer than that of 
S. rostratus, reaching nearly to the end of the peduncle of the 
antenne. M. Milne-Edwards remarks, ‘ Rostre n'atteignant pas 
tout-a-fait l’extrémite du pédoncule des antennes externes.” On 
the epistome there are two minute spines situated at the base of 
the antenne, as in S. longirostris, of which Milne-Edwards says, 
“Epistome armé de chaque coté de deux épines placées l'une au 
devant de l'autre”; but we have seen specimens in which there 
were two on one side, and only one at the base on the other side, 
showing no appearance of being worn away. ‘There are also, as in 
S. longirostris, two smali spines on the basal joint of the antenne, 
which we have never found in S. rostratus. These features are 
sufficiently defined to mark this species at once, and it is with 
much pleasure, and with some surprise, that we are able to record 
this addition to our fauna. ‘lhe specimens which we obtained 
were dredged in company with S. rostratus, but never with 
S. longirostris, and, as we fortunately obtained a number of 
specimens, we were enabled to discard entirely the probability 
of the specimens being varieties of either of the other two 
species of the genus. 
The colour of mature specimens is dirty brown, but we have 
some half-grown which are of a beautiful pink, striped with 
yellow. This colour we have never noticed in either of the other
