Goree Island, Senegambia. 367 
It is also evidently very nearly allied to A. crinitus, 
Dana*, from the far distant Balabac Straits; but the front 
between the eyes in A. paracrinitus can scarcely be described 
as carinated, and the first carpal joint of the second pair of 
legs is decidedly longer than the second joint. 
Sicyonia sculpta, M.-Hdwards. 
Seven specimens, which apparently do not differ specifically 
from this species, are in the collection; the length of the 
largest is nearly 1 inch 3 lines (32 millim.). 
If, as appears to be the case, Olivi’s name of carinata is the 
earliest applicable to this speciesT, it will be necessary to ap- 
ply anew designation to the Stcyonia carinata of M.-Kdwards 
and Olivier, which might be named S. Hdwardsii. For the 
present, however, I prefer to adopt the generally-received 
terminology. 
Mr. C. Spence Batef, in his recent memoir on the Penzeidea, 
has recorded the occurrence of this species at St. Vincent, in 
the Cape-Verd Islands (‘ Challenger ’ collection). 
Peneus brasiliensis (Latyr.). 
Three females are in the collection; length of the largest 
about 4 inches 2 lines (106 millim.). They were obtained in 
the marshes at Rufisque. 
I have already noted the occurrence of this species at 
Whydah, on the West-African coast§. On the American 
coasts its range extends from New York to Brazil (vide Kings- 
ley, Bullet. Essex Instit. x. p. 69, 1878). 
Peneus velutinus, Dana. 
Thus must be provisionally designated several small speci- 
mens in the collection from Goree (length of the largest to 
base of rostrum, which is broken, about 12 inch, 32 millim.), 
and also specimens in the Museum collection which I formerly 
very doubtfully designated P. affinis, M.-Edwards, having 
only M.-Edwards’s short diagnosis for a basis of identification. 
Mr. Spence Bate, however, has recently examined the type of 
P. affinis; and I am satisfied from his figure (t.c. p. 179, 
pl. xu. fig. 6) that P. velutinus is in reality distinct from 
M.-Hdwards’s species. Mr. Bate, however, agrees with me in
