coasts (rare), Cornwall, and Milford Haven. We have obtained 

 it also from Guernsey, Jersey, and Devon. 

 Pagurus cuanensis is with ova in April. 



Pagurus pubescens, Kroyer (= Thompsoni, Bell). 



The general character of this species is allied to both P. 

 Prideauxii and P. cuanensis, its limbs being spiny and hairy ; 

 the antennae are long, and the eye-stalks cylindrical. 



It is a rare species, and has been taken at Belfast, Shetland 

 (where a variety occurs having the claws free from hairs), Dublin, 

 Plymouth, Hebrides, and Berwick. 



It is with ova in March. 



Pagurus ulidianus, Thompson. 



This species so closely resembles the young of P. Bernhardus 

 that it is considered actually to be so by some; but Bell says 

 that the head in the present species is more elongate, its sides 

 more parallel, and the granulations on its surface more even. 



It has been recorded from Portaferry, Galway, Belfast, 

 Dublin, and Cornwall. 



Pagurus fasciatus, Bell. 

 This species, though described as new by Prof. Bell, is 

 considered by Spence Bate as " evidently Hyndmanni " ; and as it 

 was only described from a drawing, and has not, so far as we 

 know, been again taken, it is difficult to form an opinion 

 regarding it. 



Pagurus Hyndmanni, Thompson. 



This species has the carapace smooth, and rounded anteriorly ; 

 the forceps are also somewhat smooth and club-shaped ; ambu- 

 latory legs slender and tapering, and eye-stalks stout. The colour 

 of this species is pale dull red ; and it is barely an inch in length. 



According to Prof. Bell, Pagurus Hyndmanni has been 

 recorded from Portaferry and Belfast Bay. It is also recorded 

 from Shetland, Dublin, Galway, Northumberland, and Plymouth. 

 We have obtained it from S. Devon, generally inhabiting the 

 shells of a species of Turritella, to which characteristic Bell also 

 bears testimony ; also from the Channel Islands. 



The ova are of a beautiful silvery green, and are exuded in 

 February.
