 error was corrected and the description is thoroughly full and clear.

Professor Carpenter, in his paper above referred to, gives the opinion, 

 illustrated by figures, that the P. Icevis of Grube is distinct from P. spinosus 

 of Montagu ; but I agree with the view o£ Hoek, that they are the same 

 species, though exhibiting considerable diversity as regards the development 

 of the spination of the limbs. In the young the spines are scarcely developed, 

 and the larger the examples are the stronger in proportion is the spiny 

 growth. The largest specimens I have seen are from Birturbuy Bay, Co. 

 ■Galway. They are brilliant red or almost black : a female measures, body 

 (exclusive of proboscis) 4'25 mm., proboscis 2 mm., front leg 17 mm. 

 Younger specimens are greenish, and still younger white in colour.
