210 General Notes. [ March, 
simus, Rhynchocinetes tvpus, Palemon tenuicornis Say (natator 
- Auct. ), Sguilla nepa, Sphreroma gigas. Mr. T. W. Kirk (Trans. 
New Zealand Institute, 1x, 474, pl. xxvi1), adds Platyonichus nae 
latus and Squilla armata to the list, and in a paper now before 
Caprella lobata and Petrolisthes rupicolus are added to the list, ike 
latter illustrated by a figure. In a second paper? he reports from, 
his Antipodal Island species before known from British seas, viz. 
Calocaris macandre, Portunus pusillus and Fleustes panoplus, but 
regarding his Podocerus cylindricus there may be a doubt, as our au- 
thor apparently has not access to Say’s description, and Spence 
Bate in his catalogue of Amphipodous Crustacea, describes and 
figures a distinct species from that of Say, as was pointed out by 
Smith. Say’s type is no longer in existence 
Mr. Wood Mason (the exact reference I have not at hand) re- 
ports Carcinus menas from India, and Spence Bate in J. 
Lord's “ Naturalist in Vancouver” reports the well known Gelasi- 
mus annulipes of the east coast of the eastern continent from 
Vancouver. G. macrodactylus Edwards et Lucus, from Chili, is 
the same species 
I have nearly completed a revision of the genus Ge/asimus, and 
perhaps it may not come amiss to state some of my facts in ad- 
vance of the appearance of the completed paper. G. maracoant 
Latr. (armatus Smith), heterocheles Bosc. (patlydactylus Edw., 
princeps Smith), vocator Martens ex Herbst. (vocans Edw. palustris 
w. pugnax, mordax et rapax Smith, brevifrons Stm., affinis 
Streets), are found on both shores of our continent, and speci- 
mens of vocator and pugillator are in the museum of the Phila- 
delphia Academy from Mauritius, and of maracoani from Natal. 
G. coarctatus was described from Odessa, by the elder Milne-Ed- 
wards, while his son reports it from New Caledonia. The Phila- 
delphia Academy possess one of the original specimens which 
formerly belonged to Guerin-Meneville. No subsequent author 
to my knowledge) has ever seen a specimen from Europe. Mar- 
cussen in his first paper on the Crustacea of the Black Sea? does
