134 MESSES. NOEMAN AND STEBBING ON THE 



Cryptocope voringii, G. O. Sars ; which he had previously briefly characterized, and which have 

 been referred to in the foregoing memoir. 



3. Lastly, we have this day received from the author a copy of Professor Sars's latest work, 

 ' Nye Bidrag til Kuudskaben cm Middelhavets Invertebratfauna. — III. Middelhavets Saxisopoder 

 (Isopoda Chelifera),' 1886. The Mediterranean Chelifera, which had been first made known in 

 his 'Revision af Gruppen Isopoda Chelifera ' (1880), and already mentioned by us, are here fully 

 described and illustrated in fifteen plates. 



The description and figures given in this work enable us to say positively that the Apseudts 

 which we have described under the name lunarifrons, and which we doubtfully referred to A. 

 echinatus, G. O. Sars, is that species, and our own name must consequently give place to the 

 earlier one of Prof. Sars. 



Prof. G. O. Sars makes it a character of the genus Sphijrapus that the second gnathopods are 

 not furnished with a palp, such as is present in Apseudes ; but our own observations do not agree 

 with his, inasmuch as in the type species Sphyrapus malleolus, and also in <S. tudes, a palp is 

 unquestionably present on this limb.
