74 DR. A. GUNTHER ON THE ZOOLOGICAL > [Feb. 6, 
3 in.), is in the collection. It occurs in nearly all the warmer tem- 
perate and tropical seas of the globe. : 
The specimen from Charles Island resembles in all respects speci- 
mens of G. altifrons, Stimpson (Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist. New York, 
vii. p. 230, 1860), in the collection of the British Museum, from 
Cape St. Lucas, California, presented by the Smithsonian Institu- 
tion. This species cannot be regarded as distinct from G. pictus, 
as the characters given are by no means constant or restricted to 
Western-American specimens. 
3. REMIPES PACIFICUS. 
Remipes pacificus, Dana, U.S. Expl. Exp. xiii. Crust.1i. p. 407, 
pl. xxv. fig. 7 (1852). 
Hab. Charles Island. 
One specimen was obtained. 
This species was described by Dana from specimens collected at 
the Fiji and Sandwich Islands; its occurrence at Cape St. Lucas, 
California, has since been recorded by Stimpson ; and specimens from 
the last-mentioned locality, presented by the Smithsonian Institution, 
are in the collection of the British Museum. There are also speci- 
mens in the collection from the New Hebrides, Fiji, Navigators’, and 
Samoa Islands, the coast of Australia, the Philippines, and Mau- 
ritius. 
I think it not improbable that this species may be identical with 
the Remipes testudinarius of Latreille (Gen. Crust. et Ins. i. p. 
45), described and figured by Milne-Edwards (Hist. Nat. Crust. p. 
206, pl. xxi. figs. 14-20), from Australia. 
4, CUBARIS GALAPAGOENSIS, sp.n. (Plate XII. fig. 2.) 
Convex, narrow-oblong, minutely punctulated, and strongly gra- 
nulated. Head narrow-transverse, with two or three small granules 
near its posterior margin. Eyes very small, black. First segment 
of the body with two larger sigmoid elevations on its dorsal surface, 
near its anterior margin, the granulations less regular and more 
numerous than on the succeeding segments ; the six succeeding seg- 
ments with a transverse series of about six regularly placed granules 
near the posterior margin, and two or three in front of them, on 
each side of the middle line a group of larger granules ; towards the 
lateral margins the granules again become uniseriate. Segments of 
the tail with but one or two small granules towards the lateral mar- 
gins; last segment concave on the sides, wider at its proximal than 
at its distal extremity, and with three small granules on its upper 
surface. Antennee with the penultimate about half the length of 
the last joint. Colour iron-grey, segments with paler margins and 
patches on each side of the middle line. 
Hab. Charles Island. 
A single specimen is in the collection. This species is distinguished 
from most of its congeners by the strongly granulated segments of 
the body. In C. cubensis, De Saussure (Mém. Soc. Phys. et Hist. 
Nat. Genéve, xiv. (2) p. 481, pl. v. fig. 42, 1858), the segments
