Pycnogonidcu. 26 of them are exclusively peculiar to the Arctic seas, as 
many occur also on the coast of Norway, 16 on the British coasts, 5 only

The Cladocera observed in Bohemia are the subject of a valuable paper 
by W. Kurz, SB. Ak. Wien, Ixx. 82 pp. 3 pis. The author has 
observed 56 species (12 new), and gives interesting notes on most of 
them ; he compares this number with that observed in other European 
countries by specialists, and concludes that a moderate number of species 
is widely distributed throughout Europe, and these are in every country 
the most common, and first to be found, but that each country has also 
its peculiar rare species of more limited distribution.

Australia and Polynesia. Important contributions to the knowledge 
of the carcinological fauna of those regions are due to the “ Museum 
Godelfroy,” Hamburgh, some new genera and a number of new species 
being described in the Journal, iv. [1873], by A. Milne-Edwards, and a 
very rich list of Crustaceans offered for sale, with special indication 
of localities, in the 5th Catalogue (Febr. 1874, pp. 71-84), of that 
Museum. 
WiLLEMOES-SunM has published very interesting observations on the 
pelagic and deep-sea fauna made during the expedition of the “ Chal- 
lenger,” chiefly concerning Crustacea-, he gives the following as the 
chief results : — The deep-sea fauna in the Indian and Australian 
oceans is nearly the same as in the Atlantic. Gigantic forms are 
found in the depths, pertaining to families, represented in superficial 
regions only by genera and species of small size. The Schizopods 
of the depths are distinguished by the dorsal shield lying loosely 
on the body as in Apus, and often by peculiar modifications of the 
eyes. The higher families of Decapods are entirely wanting on the 
shores of the Antarctic Islands. Amphipods and Isopods, the young 
of which are developed in special sacs or bags borne by the parents, 
occur in large numbers on those islands, the Echinoderms of which
