Milne-Edwards. Most of them are Decapods. Those common to the Red 
Sea and to more remote parts of the eastern seas are pointed out and the new

Eastern Asia. The principal freshwater forms of higher Crustaceans are 
Thelphusa, TalcemoUy and Atya. Gelasimus and Sesarma are found in 
brackish water \ but some species of the latter genus, as well as Eriochir, live 
also in fresh water. Of Amphipods, Qammarus and Orchestia inhabit moist 
localities at a great distance from the sea. Ascllm and ArmadiUidium have 
not yet been seen in the Indian Archipelago. Porcellio and Liyia live in 
most parts of the globe under similar conditions as in Europe. Also a few of 
Cymothoadne inhabit fresh waters of Eastern Asia. Martens, Wiegm. Arch, 
xxxiv. pp. 17-61.

mentioned in the Crustacea of the ‘Novara ’ expedition, worked out by C.
