Ocean, and Australia ; while those of the subgenus Vinmeta 

 occur at New Zealand and neighbouring islands, and at Chile 

 in South America. 



For further general remarks reference may be made to 

 my paper on the genus (1915, p. 453). Since it was published 

 I have personally collected many specimens of Deto bucculenta y 

 Nicolet, on the shores of Paterson Inlet, Stewart Island, 

 New Zealand, and have examined others collected by Mr. W. 

 R. B. Oliver "under stones near high-water mark, Waitangi, 

 Chatham Islands." 



In Stewart Island the animals were found under stones 

 and boulders on the rocky shore at or slightly below high- 

 water mark, being often covered at high tide. They were 

 found along with Ligia novae-zealandiae, E xosphaeromq, 

 gigas, etc. When disturbed they either remain quite still or 

 walk slowly only, and are easily captured, thus forming a 

 marked contrast to Ligia novae-zealandiae, which runs with 

 great rapidity. 



I am much indebted to Miss E. M. Herriott, M.A., 

 Assistant at the Canterbury College Biological Laboratory, 

 for preparing the figures illustrating this paper.
