The Report on the Crustacea of the " Blake " Expeditions of 

 1877-78 and 1878-79, by A. Milne Edwards (the first instal- 

 ment of which appeared in the Bulletin of the Museum, Vol. 

 VIII. No. 1), has been continued in Annales des Sciences Natu- 

 relles, 6th ser. Vol. XI. Eight new genera and nineteen new 

 species are recorded. Many species from the " Bache," " Hassler " 

 and " Blake" dredgings are described for the first time in the same 

 writer's great work on the Stalk-eyed Crustacea of Mexico 

 (Recherches Zoologiques pour servir a l'Histoire de la Faune de 

 FAmerique Centrale et du Mexique, 5e Partie, Tome I.). In 

 another paper he gives the general results reached through the 

 study of the " Blake " Crustacea. The first part of S. I. Smith's 

 Report on the Crustacea of the " Blake " Expedition of 1880, 

 along the east coast of the United States, comprising the Deca- 

 pods of the collection, was published in June in the Bulletin of 

 the Museum, Vol. X., No. 1, with sixteen plates. Five new genera 

 and twenty new species are described. From this collection a set 

 comprising 25 species and 252 specimens has been made up for 

 the U. S. National Museum, Washington, another set of 12 

 species, 91 specimens, for Yale College Museum. In return a 

 series of 33 species, 351 specimens, dredged by the United States 

 Fish Commission off the coast of New England, 1877-81, has 

 been received from the National Museum. These are named by 

 Smith. 



During the year a second contribution to the monograph of the 

 Cyniothoidae, by Schib'dte and Meinert of Copenhagen, based in 

 part upon material sent from this Museum, has been published in 

 Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift, 3d series, Vol. XIII.
