The record of which this is a continuation was published in the 
Proceedings of the Zoological Society about fourteen years ago. 
In the interval Mr. Vallentin has continued his researches during 
more or less prolonged visits to the Falklands, with the result 
that very extensive additions have been made to the series of 
specimens left undescribed in my earlier report, 
When Samuel Johnson, in 1771, published his entertaining 
but politically-minded history of the Falkland Islands, there was 
naturally no forecast in it that the restless “ barren ocean ” which 
breaks on the shores of those wind-swept outposts of civilization 
would eventually become a happy hunting-ground for students 
of marine zoology. Nevertheless, as explained in my formev 
paper, the nineteenth century found those waters fruitful in 
interest. In the present century, while Mr. Vallentin has been 
waiting with friendliest patience for my further account of his 
unwearied and still unexhausted researches, the rush to the 
Antarctic has incidentally brought the island fauna into renewed 
prominence. As the following discussion will show, it has 
engaged the attention of numerous eminent carcinolog’sts, 
such as Chilton, Hansen, Ohlin, Ortmann, Thomas Scott, 
Tattersall, and Thiele. The present paper proposes one new 
generic name and five new species ?; but Mr. Vallentin’s collection 
has made possible a reconsideration of various forms already 
known by name, though very imperfectly known by nature, If 
some useful light has been thrown upon these obscurities, it ma y 
perhaps be welcomed as compensation for shortness in the list of 
novelties, at an epoch when the discovery and display of new 
species has been almost overwhelmingly rapid.
