ZOOLOGICAL LlTEllATURE. 
CrANGONIDvE. 
Hr. A. Boeck (Forliamll. Vidonsk. Sclsk. Christiania, 1804, p. 189), assisted 
by Dr, Danielsseii, lias described, from the coast of Norway, a new genus, to 
which he gives the name of Synhimantites, on account of the peculiarity of 
the form of the caudal appendages. It differs from other genera in having a 
. broad flat masticating blade to the mandible, to which is also attached a 
broad two-jointed appendage. To the species on which the genus is founded 
the author has given the name of Synliunimtites typicus. 
The Rev. A. M. Norman, Trans. Tyneside Nat. Field Club, 1863-1864, p. 
184, says that Crangon nanm (Kroyer) is identical with C. bispinosus (West- 
wood), Krdyer’s name having the precedence. 
Palasmonid^e. 
Signor Tamarelli lias described (Atti della Societa Italiana 
di Scienze Natiirali, vol. vi. p. 368) several species of Crustacea 
that have been found living in the fresh waters of Italy : — 
Ilippolyte desmarestii (Millet), which he believes to be identical with a 
crustacean that was imperfectly described by Raiinesque (Precis des decou- 
vertes somiologiques : Palermo, 1814, p. 22) under the name of Simmetus 
Jluviatilis, and found in the streams of Sicily, 
He also announces having found Telphusa JiiiviutiUs, Martens, ^Ueber 
einige Fische und Crustaceen/ 1857, in Lakes Albano and Garda, and describes 
fully Palcemon lacustris of the same author * : it seems much to resemble 
P. sqidlla, having six or seven teeth upon the upper margin of the rostrum 
and two or three below. It was found in the neighbourhood of Pavia and 
Modena. 
Hippolyte prionota, sp. n., Stirnpson, Proc. Ac, Nat, Sc, Philad, 1864, p. 
153 ; II. suckleyi, Stimpson, p. 164 ; II stylus, Stimpson, p. 154 ; and H. 
gracilis, Stimpson, p. 155 ; all from Puget Sound. 
Hyppolyte esquimaltiana, sp, ii., Spence Bate, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, p. 666, 
from Vancouve.r’s Island. 
The Rev. A.M. Norman, Trans. Tyneside Nat, Field Club, 1863-4, p. 184, 
says that Pandalus brevirostris (Rathke) is Hippolyte thompsoni (Bell) = P«yi- 
dalus thompsoni (Norman) = P. barlei (Spence Bate)f. This species ranges 
from Norway to the Adriatic. 
Two species of Hijypolyte mentioned (Forhandl, Vidensk. Selsk. Christ. 
1864, p. 189) as having been found by Hr. Boeck on the coast of Norway, 
which agree with those which Hr, Danielssen has named, but not described, 
in his report of a journey from Finmark (“ Nyt Magazin for Naturvidenska- 
berne for Aaret 1861), Hippolyte korenii and H. lilljeboryii. 
PENAilDAi. 
Since the erratic oceanic Zoea was first indicated by Slabber, 
* In the body of the paper the name given is P. lacustris, but in the title 
it is given as P. palustris. We presume the latter to have been a typogra- 
phical error. 
f Qy. P.Ji^reysii? There is no Pandalus barlei l»a(o).
