CRUSTACEA.

Galathea squamosa (Scaly Galathea, Bell.) — Leach, Malac, pi. 

 28 ; Milne Edwards, Hist.^ des Crust., t. ii, p. 975, Bell, 

 Stalk-Eyed Crust, p. 197. 

 Common under ^stones at low water. 



This species is not so frequent as G. strigosa, and frequents 

 deeper water, ranging, according to our experience, to 12 

 fathoms. 



Galathea nfxa. — Embleton, proc, Berwickshire Club; Bell, Stalk- 

 Eyed Crust., p. 204. 

 We have taken this specimen off the Cornish coast in forty 

 fathoms of water. It has been taken at Zetland and in Ireland. 



Galathea dispersa — Spence Bate ; Proc. Linnean Society. 



This is a smaller species than the two preceding, and is among 

 our commonest form beyond low water. 



Galathea Andrewsii — Kinahan, Dublin Nat. Mist. Soc. 



This species was first found off the coast of Cornwall, but 

 described by Prof. Kinahan from a female taken in Dublin Bay. 

 It has since been described by Mr. Spence Bate, from a male 

 taken off the Cornish coast. The male differing from the female 

 in having a much longer pair of chelate limbs. 



This species is tolerably frequent on the zoophytic ground from 

 10 to 50 fathoms, and the female is apparently much more 

 abundant than the male. 



It is perhaps the smallest species of our local forms. 

 Galathea bamffica. — Pennant, Brit. Zool., iv, t. Hi. 



Munida rugosa. — Leach, Diet, des sc : Nat., xviii, p. 52. 



Galathea bamfia. — Leach, Edin. Encyc, vii, p. 398. 



Munida rondelltii. — Bell, Stalk-Eyed Crust., p. 208. 



I have taken this species, which is rare on the stony ground, 

 in from 20 to 30 fathoms off the Dudman. 



Mr. Couch says that it is common in the stomachs of codfish. 

 Bell in writing on the species says that it is far from common, 

 and was found by Mr. Prideaux in Plymouth Sound, and he also 

 received it from Falmouth, where it was taken by the late Dr. 

 Cocks : and it is somewhat remarkable that it has not found a 

 place in Mr. Couch's list of Cornish Crustacea. It is recorded 

 from Zetland and Ireland, and it is worthy of note that while 1
