Common Prawn (Palcemon serratus). Has been accurately de- 

 scribed to me by the Bray fishermen as occurring in their lobster pots 

 in the summer. However, Pandalus annulicornis may have been 

 mistaken for it. 



Pasiphea Sivado, Risso. A single specimen in the British Museum 

 was stated by its donor, the Rev. James Bulvver, to have been taken 

 near Dublin (Thompson's Nat. Hist. Ireland, vol. ix. p. 392).

July 6, 1856. 

 My Dear Sir, 



Dr. Hagen, of Konigsberg, having paid a visit to 

 the Museum for the purpose of determining the specimens of Tri- 

 choptera and Neuroptera in that collection, he examined with care 

 the specimens, described by Mr. Stephens, now contained in the 

 British collection, for the purpose of determining the names which 

 these species bear in the continental works. I herewith send results 

 of his labours as far as the Phryganides are concerned ; and if you 

 consider that they will be useful to your readers T will send you, for a 

 future number of the e Zoologist,' his observations on the Perlides, 

 Psocides and Panorpides. — Believe me, my dear Sir, 



Yours very truly, 



J. E. Gray.
