I have thus endeavoured to place in their natural position, side by 

 side with recognized British species, such foreign species of Hydro- 

 can tharidse as have not yet been discovered here, but whose locality 

 or latitude leads us to hope that they may eventually be added to our 

 lists. At some future time 1 may be able to investigate in a similar 

 manner the British and Continental species of the Philhydrida— a 

 group equally interesting, but equally unknown.
