of the Crustacea of Kerguelen-Land (Transit of Venus Expedition, 

 Zool., pi. xi.) ; and also of a small interesting new species of crab 

 belonging to the Oxystomata, although bearing a strong resem- 

 blance to certain Cancridce, under the name of Actcsomorpha erosa, 

 from Australia (Proc. Linn. Soc. Zool., vol. xiii., pi. 14). 



The position of the Anomourous division of the decapod 

 Crustaeea has been the subject of much discussion, including as 

 it does groups of great diversity, the hermit crabs differing most 

 widely from the Hippidce. A small species, Hippa talpoida, 

 found along the whole of the eastern coast of the United States, 

 has furnished the subject of a memoir by Mr. Sidney Smith, of 

 Yale College, in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy 

 (vol. iii. p. 311). This species passes through a larva state 

 similar to Zoea, but destitute of a large dorsal spine. They then 

 assume the Megalopa form, with large eyes, and powerful, 

 abdominal swimming legs, but burying themselves in sand with 

 great alacrity. Hence the embryonic development of Hippa, like 

 that of Alhunea, studied by Claus, agrees much more with the 

 Brachyura than with the Paguri and lobsters. 



An account of the Crustacea collected by the Eev. A. E. 

 Eaton at Spitzbergen has been published by Mr. Miers, in the 

 Annals Nat. Hist., February, 1877. 



A memoir, by E. J. Miers, on the Leucosiadce and on Matuta, 

 appears in the Transactions of the Linnean Society (2nd ser., 

 vol. i. pi. 5). 



A memoir, by Alois Humbert, on blind Crustacea (Niphargus 

 and Crangonycc), in which the conclusions of Rougemont are 

 opposed, appears in the Archiv. Sci. Phys. et Natur. (Ann. Nat. 

 Hist., March, 1877). 



"Notes on Sessile-eyed Crustacea," by Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing 

 (Annals Nat. Hist., ser. 5, vol. i. p. 31), including descriptions and 

 figures of a new species of Caprella, dredged at Salcombe, 

 Stimpsonia chelifera, Sp. Bate and Westw. ; and notes on other 

 Amphipodous Crustacea. 



Descriptions of new and little-known Amphipodous Crustacea, 

 Amphilochus concinna, Danaia duhia, Callimerus acutidigitata, and 

 Cratippus (Exunguia) stilipes, all from Torbay, are also described 

 by Mr. Stebbing, in Ann. Nat. Hist. (4tli ser., vol. xviii. p. 443).
