Kraussina davidsoni, Vulain, Arckiv. de Zool. experi- 

 mentale, 1878. (The so-termed K. pida, alluded to 

 by jMr Dall in his Catalogue of Eeceut Brachioj)oda 

 from the Island of St Paul, does not exist. The 

 name is due to an erroneous reference in the Zool. 

 Record.) K. davidsoni is so nearly related to K. 

 lamarckiana, that it may, perhaps, be only a variety 

 of that species.
