Wilson synonymized this Nymplion of Kroyer with N. grossijjes, regarding 

 it as the young of that species ; but Sars and Meinert both regard it as a 

 distinct form.

It cannot be considered certain that Fabricius's description was draw n up 

 from this species rather than C. mixtum. Johnston described the species 

 two years before Kroyer, and his type preserved in the British Museum is 

 unquestionably the present species. Meinert unites P. mixtum with this 

 species ; and in examining a large number of specimens I find that 

 N. grossipes is subject to very considerable variation, so much so as to make 

 me doubt whether N. mixtum and N. glaciale are really specifically distinct 



* The figures in the description of Plate iii. are wrongly numbered, and are corrected (at 

 any rate partially) by Goodsir in his subsequent paper (13).
