As a British species it first became known to me from specimens 
sent in 1886 for determination by Dr. W. C. McIntosh, who told me 
that on the 28th of April of that year, miles of sand at St. Andrews

Nematoscelis is a remarkable genus, ininguished ‘ioe its allies 
by the very long and slender first pair of feet, which terminate in 
a bunch of curiously constructed oes spines. 
As long ago as 1863 the late Mr. Thomas Edward sent me this 
ones interesting species nein Banff. In 1868 Mr. George Sim 
sent it from Aberdeen; and it now has occurred on the Redcar 
coast. For twenty-five years it remained undescribed, like great 
numbers of other things, from inability to find time, amid other 
work, to keep pace with material constantly pouring into m 
collection. In 1885 Mematoscelis megalops was described by Professor 
. O. Sars from ‘Challenger’ gatherings, and his description of the 
species accords with the British form (Mr. Sim, in stating that the 
first feet terminated ‘18 or 20 spines,’ greatly over-estimated their 
number). It was procured by the ‘Challenger’ on three occasions 
in the South Atlantic Ocean, and in the North Atlantic off 
Nova Scotia.
