eighth of an inch in length, and in another capsule a second her- 
mit crab of similar size, but not ensconced in a shell. 
This crab is very generally distributed on European coasts.

‘ ‘ More scarce than the last. 
“ I have examined a specimen with a line of hairs encona- i 
passing the thorax (pereion), with a few rather long fibres 
also pointing forwards from the first segment of the abdomen 
(pleon) ; but further observation is necessary to decide whether 
it be a distinct species.” 
This species was first taken by Prideaux, in Plymouth Sound. 
Since then it has been found on many parts of the coast. 
It is frequently found associated with a sea anemone on its 
shell, {Adamsia maculata.) It is not unfrequently associated also 
with a nereid annelid andanamphipodous crustacean. I have seen 
the annelid come out of the shell when the crab was feeding and 
steal his food from him.

I have little doubt but that the suggestion of Professor BeU 
is correct, and that F. ulidianus is the young of some other 
species, probably P. Bernhardus.
