Am PHI POD A 1 : 



Anonyx kergueleni* (Miers). 

 Lysianassa hidderi, Smith. 

 Podocerus omatus, Miers. 



Isopoda 8 : 



JEga semicarinata, Miers. 



Cassidina emarginata, Guerin-Meneville. Recorded from Patagonia, Magellan 

 Strait, Falklands, and South Georgia. 

 ,, maculata, Studer. 



Dynamene eatoni, Miers. 

 Sphccroma gigas, Leach. Recorded from Patagonia., Australia, and New Zealand.

Anatina im/pressa, Watson in litt. 



that it is found all over the European shores in precisely similar situations, that is to say in brackish pools, at or above 

 high-water mark, which are liable to become warm through exposure to the sun's rays. These are in no respect 

 distinguishable from European specimens — (G. S. Brady, Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 215.) 



i Pfeffer records Rhachotropis aculeatus (Lepechin) from the Kerguelen region (Ergebnisse der deutschen Polar- 

 Expeditionen) ; this is probably the species named by Stebbing Eliachotropis Jcergiceleni. 



2 In the form of the antero-lateral angles of the cephalon, and of the postero-lateral angles of the third segment 

 of the pleon, this species [Anonyx kerguelem] to some extent resembles (1) Hippomedon holbolli, Kroyer, as described 

 by Boeck, as well as (2) H. dbyssi, Goes, and (3) Anonyx pumilus, Lilljeborg — all from the Northern Sea. . . . The 

 eyes, also, which are well marked in the species just referred to, are not visible in any of the specimens of A. h rgut leni. — 

 (E. J. Miers, Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 208.) 



3 Stcder's Serolis oralis is a synonym of SeroKs septemcarinata, Miers, as Studer himself supposed when he 

 published his description. 



4 This species [Nym/phon antarcticum = N. gracilipes] is allied to N. grossipes, 0. Fab., as described by Krovek, 

 from the northern seas, but differs somewhat in the length of the neck, and in the proportions of the joints of the lefts 

 and appendages.— (E. J. Miers, Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 212.) 



6 E. A. Smith introduces his description of the Mollusca collected by the British Transit of Venus Expedition at 

 Kerguelen thus : — The Malacological fauna resembles generally that of the Falkland Islands and South Patagonia. 

 More than half of the genera and seven or eight of the species found at Kerguelen Island are known to occur at i! 

 localities, and further research will probably discover a still greater number of genera and species to be common to 

 these two, longitudinally, so widely separated localities. With respect to their latitudes the difference is unimportant, 

 since they both range between 49° and 54° S. hit. As the Cape of Good Hope, Tasmania, and South West Australia 

 are the nearest points of mainland, it might be, expected that some resemblance to the fauna of those countries might 

 be observable. However, it is not so, as far as our present knowledge extends. Many of the shells from Kerguelen 

 Island have the generally unattractive appearance, as regards coloration, which so frequently obtains in species found 

 in cold climates. Indeed, some of them seem to be southern representatives of boreal types. The Neobuccii »)/■, 

 Troplion, Saxicava, Kellin, Yoldia, Radula, and Doris, are remarkable instances of similarity to northern forms.— 

 (Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 107.) 



In the actual state of our knowledge, the malacological fauna of Kerguelen is composed of 26 species. This fauna 

 is eminently austral. It is intimately related to that of New Zealand, by the presence of some common spec 

 (Purpura striata, Venus stutchburyi, My til us canaliculus), and by that of the genus Struthiolaria, which is also known
