the stomach of a haddock caught on the offshore station 

 between Lancashire and Isle-of-Man, March 13th, 1901. 



The Upogebia had evidently just been swallowed by the 

 fish, as it was perfectly fresh, and the gastric juices had 

 not had time to act upon the carapace. It belongs to the 

 Callianassidse, a family of Crustacea which burrow under 

 the surface of the sea bottom, and as Rev. T. R. R. 

 Stebbing remarks, " are more often obtained from the 

 stomachs of fishes than by intentional methods of capture.'' 



There is some doubt whether this species is really dis- 

 tinct from Upogebia stellata (Montagu), but the present 

 form, which has the inner branches of the uropods deltoid 

 in shape, agrees better with the species described by 

 Leach than with Montagu's U. stellata. 



Sympoda. 



The Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing in his memoir on some 

 Crustacea from the South Seas collected by Dr. Willey 

 (Willey's Zool. Results, part V., 1900), has shown that 

 Cuma, so familiar as the name of a genus of Crustaceans, 

 is preoccupied ; and as the subordinal name Cumacea is 

 derived from Cuma and must also lapse, he adopts the 

 name Sympoda for this sub-order instead of Cumacea.

This peculiar little form, though probably widely dis- 

 tributed, is apparently rare. Only one specimen has so 

 far been found in the Irish Sea. It is easily recognised, 

 when mixed with Eudorella, by the turned up rostrum.
