[The following memoir deals mainly with the Brachyura. It 

 contains descriptions of several new forms, and gives much fresh 

 information with regard to the morphology, affinities, and distri- 

 bution of species previously described. The author bequeathed 

 his collection of Crustacea, together with his scientific library, 

 to the Woodwardian Museum, where both are now accessible 

 to palaeontologists. This work has been edited by Mr. Henry 

 Woods, M.A., F.G.S., at the request of the author's daughter, Mrs. J. 

 E. Foster.— T. McK. H.]
