I have given this list of references, only omitting those 
which relate solely to the record of a locality, to show how 
this unfortunate species has been thrown from genus to 
genus. Let us hope that it will now find a resting-place in 
a genus of which it is made, and, I think, rightly made, the 
type. In the latest paper in the list above given Mr. Waters 
discards Stimpson’s specific name solzda, and uses the later 
palmata. He does this upon the ground that it is not clear 
that Stimpson’s description refers to this species, and then he 
proceeds not only to give a reference to Stimpson without 
any mark of interrogation, but also inserts Stimpson’s 
locality as one of the habitats of the species. ‘That the 
European Arctic species belongs to the same genus, and is 
apparently only a slight variation of the species described by 
Stimpson, is, I think, quite clear from the fact that the 
description and figure in the ‘ Invertebrata of Grand Manan,’
