ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
. ANOMURA. 
Pagurus. Several stages of development, the first like zoea, another more 
advanced, still symmetrical, except in the larger development of the great 
chela of the right side, described and figured hy Sp. Bate, Ann. & Mag. Nat. 
Hist. ii. pp. 114-110, pi, 9. figs. 1-3. The genera Qlaucothoe (M.-Edw.) and 
Prophylax (Latr.) are the immature stages of Pagunis. 
A list of shells from various pai’ts of the world, inhabited hy a species of 
Hermit-crabs, is given by v. Fbauenfeld, Verb, zool.-bot. Gesellsch. Wien, 
1868, xviii. pp. 295-298. It confirms the fact that the same species of Her- 
mit-crabs is found in very different shells. 
Cwnobita. On their occurrence out of water. Martens, Wiegm. Arch, 
xxxiv. p. 25. 
Porcellana platycheles, in the state of zoea, described and figured by Sp. 
Bate, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ii. p. 114, pi. 9. fig. 4. 
JEylea IcBvis found plentifully in Southern Brazil by Dr. Hensel. Martens, 
Wiegm, Arch, xxxiv. p. 26. 
Qalatea monodon. Multitudes of this species form brilliant scarlet- 
coloured patches in the sea near the Falkland Islands. Rob. Cunningham 
and Sp. Bate, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. i. pp. 444 & 447, pi. 21. fig. 2. 
Galatea hamffia (Verm.)— Munida rondeletii (Bell), var. with three nearly 
equal spines in front, taken off the Dudman, and G. diyitidistans, sp. n., allied 
to squamifera (Leach), British. Sp. Bate, 1. c. ii. pp. 112, 113. 
MACRURA. 
Loricata. 
Scyllarus arctus. Several instances of its occurrence in Great Britain men- 
tioned by Sp. Bate, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ii. p. 116. 
Palinurus vulgaris. Sp. Bate figures the larva and compares it with Phyl- 
losoma. It is not probable that they are nioroly different stages of the same 
animal. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ii. pp. 116, 117, pi. 10, figs. 1, 2. 
Palinurus longipes, sp. n., Alph. M.-Edw. Nouv. Arch. Mus. iv. p. 87, pi. 21, 
Zanzibar, Belongs to the section of the Langoustes longicornes ” — Panu- 
lirus (Gray). 
Astacina. 
The Australian species of Astacus are arranged by E. v. 
Martens (Monatsber. Ak. Wiss. Berl. 1868, pp. 615-619) 
thus : — 
I. Abdominal feet fringed with calcareous pieces : Astacoides (Gu^r.). 
a. Muricate species of large size : serratus (^\\?ivf)—sp)inifer (Heller) = 
armatus (Martens) j nuhilis (Dana), 
h. Smooth and of minor size : plehejus (Hesse)*. ' 
' H. Caudal laminae semimembranaceous j cephalothorax with longit. keels; 
subg. Cherops (Erichs.): quinquecarinatus (Gray); quadricarinatus, 
* The Recorder has convinced himself that this species does not belong 
to sect. I., but to sect. II.
