GENERAL NOTES. 
> —_—_ 
N. Z. IDOTEIDA.—In his catalogue of N. Z. Crustacea Mr. 
Miers describes three species of /dofea as occurring in this Colony, 
viz.: (1.) I. argentea, Dana, with its variety I. margaritacea ; (2.) 
I. affinis, 17. Edw.; and (3.) I. elongata, White. A revision of 
the whole family by the same author, in the Journal of the 
Linnean Society, Vol. XVI. p. 1, enables us now to place the 
members of this group accurately. Since the publication of the 
catalogue I have added two species, viz, /. lacustris (Trans. N. 
Z. Inst., XI., p. 250), and Adotia dilatata (described at a meeting 
of the Otago Institute on 31st October last). The following now 
constitute the New Zealand species of this family. I have 
omitted the detailed synonymy, which Mr. Miers has elaborated 
with great care. 
1. Idotea marina, Lzzu—A species of wide range. The 
Paris collection contains one male from New Zealand ‘M. Petit) 
which appears to be the only specimen described from this 
Colony. I am not aware that anyone else has found this 
species here. 
2. Idotea metallica, Bosc. (f. argentea of the catalogue)—A 
cosmopolitan pelagic species. The only specimen recorded from 
this part of the world was taken by Dana zear New Zealand. 
3. Idotea margaritacea, Dana.—Closely allied to the pre- 
ceding. One specimen taken between New Zealand and Port 
Jackson, about 500 miles from the latter. 
4. Idotea lacustris, G. Md. Thomson.—Occurring in the 
Tomahawk Lagoon, near Dunedin. Mr. Miers describes the 
same or a Closely allied form from Port Henry, Straits of 
Magellan. 
5. Idotea ungulata, Pallas (L. affinis of the catalogue). —This
