t. White, in Juke's Voy., H.M.S. Fly (1847), describes a new- 

 genus, and five species of Australian crabs; and in A 7 oy. of II.M.S. 

 Rattlesnake (1852) two new species of Decapodous Crustaceans. 



t Miers, " Revision of the Plagiusunse," An. and Mag. Nat. Hist, 

 Feb. 1878, gives, a "synonymic list, with brief diagnoses and remarks 

 of the species of this small and well defined group of the Grapsoid 

 Brachyurous Crustaceans ; four Australian species are referred to. 



Bell, " Catalogue of Crustacea," Part I, Lsucosiadae, Trans. Linn. 

 Soc, vol. xxi., 1855, describes and figures seven Australian species of 

 the family, One species, Philyra Icevis, inhabits Port Adelaide. The 

 only other references to South Australian Decapods that I know of are 

 made by Gray in Eyre's Exped. Central Australia, in writing upon the 

 species of fresh water crayfish of Australia and Tasmania.

Sub-class Amphipoda.- In the (*) " Catalogue of Amphidous Crus- 

 tacea, ' by Spence Bate, 8 vo., pp. 400, 59 plates, 1862, the author brings 

 together in a systematic arrangement all the Amphipods that were then 

 known to science. Descriptions and figures are given, taken from speci- 

 mens in the British Museum ; but where examples of species have not 

 been procurable, the description by the author of the species has been 

 followed accompanied by copies of figures when illustrated. The num - 

 ber of Australian species is eleven, distributed as follows : — Seven in 

 New South Wales, one common to New South Wales and South Aus- 

 tralia, one Tasmanian, one South Australian, and one locality unknown . 

 The two S. Australian species Attorchestes Gaimardi, M.Eds., and 

 Amphithoe Australiensis, Bate, are marine, whilst a fresh water Amphi- 

 pod, possibly the Gammarus Verreauxi, M.Ed., described from New 

 Holland, and one or two of the aberrant forms of the sub-class, at least, 

 await identification. 



Order Isopoda. — Many species of this order inhabit our shores, 

 and a few land forms are not unfamiliar objects. I do not know any 

 special work treating of them ; but some information respecting them 

 may be gleaned from the general works given under ' Crustacea.' 



Of Phyllopodous Crustaceans, three species have „been exhibited 

 before this Society, one Lepidurus Angasi, Baird, will be found described 

 and figured inProc. Zool. Soc, 1866. The others a Branchipus and an ,
