DE. H. J. HATTSEN ON THE 



large, specimens the outer margiu of tbe endopod is a little bent 

 before or beyond the middle, the margin beyond this very 

 obtuse angle is straight, and the end is more or less rounded j 

 this straight part of the outer margin of the endopod and the 

 distal half or two-fifths of both margins of the exopod are so 

 densely clothed with fine hairs that the marginal spines, if 

 present, cannot be perceived ; the clothed portion of the exopod 

 has also altered its shape a little. 



PL iii. fig. 3 i, in my paper quoted, conveys a good idea of 

 the shape and clothing of spines and setae of the last abdomioal 

 segment and uropoda in smaller specimens. Eig. 2 g, on the 

 same plate, represents the same parts of a rather large animal, in 

 which the shape of abdomen is seen, while the uropoda have not 

 fully arrived at their final shape. For this reason I give here a 

 new figure (PI. 33. fig. 3 a) of the right uropod of a large 

 specimen. 



Length of the largest specimen seen, a female without mar- 

 supium, taken at Belle-Isle, is 18 mm. 



Occurrence. — xlccording to the literature this species has been 

 secured at Cumbrae (Firth of Clyde, western coast of Scotland), 

 Plymouth and Falmouth (Sp. Bate & Westwood), tbe Channel 

 Islands, Eoscoff, Concarneau and Le Croisic (various French 

 authors); my earlier specimens were from Villefranche, and 

 Leach had his Nelocira Swainsoni from Sicily ; Miers mentions 

 the species from Goree Island, Senegambia, but the specimens 

 from this locality ought to be re-examined. Mr. Dolltus's col- 

 lection contains many specimens from tbe following localities : — 

 Le Croisic, two very small specimens in a dead Cancer pagurus 

 and tAvo specimens in a Maja; Beile-Isle, one specimen from 70 m., 

 and two specimens in cavities in a piece of wood hauled up in 

 the dredge ; Isle d'Yeu, one specimen from 100 m. ; Guethary, 

 near Biarritz : all four localities are on the western coast of 

 France. Also from tbe following places in the Mediterranean: 

 Yillefrancbe ; Cannes, 1-5 m. ; not far from Toulon, ten small 

 specimens iu the mouth of Grampus griseus ; Porto A^ecchio 

 (Corsica) ; finally Gabes (Tunis), in sponges. 



BemarJcs. — C. GrancMi is easily distinguished from all other 

 European species by the shape of the frontal plate ; eyes, epimera, 

 thoracic legs, &c. show^ other excellent characters. As to the 

 synonymy, especially Leach, Eisso, and G. O. Sars, I rei'er to 

 my earlier paper. In 1892, P. Gourret established a new form, 

 Conilera grampoides, on ten specimens taken in the mouth of a
