"The Australian Amphipoda," pp. 245-279, 319-3*9, plates 

 7-12 and 18-24 (1879). 



The number of described species hitherto known was thirteen 

 only, whilst the above papers contain 75 new species, com- 

 prising nine new generic forms. The specimens at Mr. 

 Haswell's command have all been obtained (with two excep- 

 tions) from Tasmania and New South Wales, and not one is 

 common to the two areas. The habitat of a species named 

 Talitrus sylvaticus is peculiar, being abundant in moist ground 

 in woods and scrubs of New South Wales, extending inland at 

 least as far as about 30 miles from the coast. It has never 

 been observed on the sea shore. 



" On some new Amphipods from Australia and Tasmania," 

 loc. cit., Yol. V., pp. 97-105, plates 5-7 (1880). Is a supple- 

 mental paper describing eleven new species, one of which is the 

 type of a new genus.

 431-468, plates 25-27, 1880). 



Mr. Haswell's researches among the Australian spider crabs 

 have added 37 species to the nineteen previously recorded ; 

 whilst the genera represented has been increased from thirteen 

 to 27 (one new). The greater number of the species was 

 obtained on the eastern coast and in Torres Straits. The new 

 species, seventeen in number, are described, and most of them 

 figured. Whilst full references to the species of earlier 

 authors and authenticated localities are given. South Aus- 

 tralia is uniquely represented by Micippe parvirostris, originally 

 described by Miers from a Port Lincoln specimen. And in this 

 connection I will quote from the author : — " So little is known 

 of the marine zoology of the south of Tasmania and the west 

 coast of Australia that it is impossible to treat with any degree 

 of minuteness of the geographical distribution of genera 

 within the Aiistralian province. Two well-defined faunas are, 

 however, readily separated and contrasted, viz., the temperate 

 and the tropical."

A revised list of all the Echini known to the Bev. J. E. 

 Tenison Woods as occurring on the Australian coast will be 

 found in vol. iv. Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., pp. 288-290. This is 

 an amended list to that given by him in vol. ii. of the Proceed- 

 ings of the same Society. Two new species collected between 

 Moreton Bay and Port Jackson are also described and figured. 

 One, Hemiaster apicatns, is interesting as representing a genus 

 previously unknown in a recent state in the Australian seas, 

 and one which is most abundantly represented in cretaceous
