The males, among the specimens examined, vary from 24 to 38 mra 
in length, and the females from 26 to 58 mm . All the American speci- 
mens were taken in August and September, and none of the females 
w^ere carrying eggs. 
I have seen neither Norman’s nor Danielssen’s original description 
of this species and have identified it by comparison with English 
specimens received from the Rev. Mr. Norman and Norwegian speci- 
mens received from Prof. G. O. Sars. The species agrees well too 
with II. Liljeborgii Danielssen as described and figured by Daniels- 
sen and Boeck (loc. cit.). These authors state that II. Liljeborgii 
was briefly described by Danielssen in Nyt Magazin for Naturvidens- 
kaberne, 1861, p. 6, thus antedating Norman’s species, which they 
quote as a synonym. Goes, however (fEfversight af Kong]. Veten- 
skaps-Akad. Forhandlingar, 1863. p. 170 (10)), quotes “//. Lilljeborgi 
Danielsen, Fauna litor. Norveg. nondum edita,” and neither he, nor
