I have examined the type-specimens of the two species of Leach in the 

 British Museum. They are the male and female of the same species which 

 was subsequently named by Hoek N. gallicum. The figures of the latter 

 author are very'good. It is a shore and shallow-water form, and is a much 

 larger species than N. ruhrurn, and belongs to an entirely different section 

 of the genus, characterized by the longer and more slender chelae of the 

 JY. Stromii allies. This is the species which was understood by Mr. Hodge and 

 myself to be i\^. gracile forty years ago, at the time when Mr. Hodge described 

 his Nymphon rubrum. 



Herm (as iV". gracile, 1861, Hodge)', St. Clement's Bay, Jersey, 1865, 

 Plymouth and Starcross, Devon {A. M. N.) ; Co. Kerry and Bantry, Ireland 

 [G. H. Carpenter). Mus. Nor. 



It will be seen that I have now in my collection a specimen from Herm, 

 given me by Mr. Hodge forty -one years ago under the name Nymphon gracile . 

 It was in 1865 that he described his Nymphon rubrum. Hoek mistook the 

 species, and subsequent wa'iters have generally adopted his mistaken views. 



Irish Sea {Halhed). Professor G. H. Carpenter (2 & 6*) records it from 

 many places on the West Coast of Ireland ; Hoek from Roscoff and He Verte, 

 Brittany, and Schimkewitsck ('52) from Cap de las Vergines, ' Vettor Pisani '; 

 Hansen from Denmark.
