3 Pycnogonids, some of them new, are treated by 0. Heller, Denk. 
Ak. Wien, xxxvi. (1875) pp. 25-43, pis. i.-v. 
A preliminary general account of the Crustacea observed in the N. 
Atlantic and Davis Straits during the “Valorous’' cruise, is given by 
J. Gr. Jeffreys, P. R. Soc. xxv. pp. 202-215. 
Notes on some new or little known British Amphipods and Isopods, 
by T. Stebbing, Ann. N. H. (4) xvii. pp. 73-80, 337-346, pis. iv., v.,

A list of 195 species of Crustacea found in the kingdom of Holland^ 
including 36 Decapods, 3 Cumacea, 5 Schizopoda, 26 Amphipods inch 
Caprellinay 26 Isopoda, 3 Phyllopoda, 15 Cladocera, 10 Ostracoda^ 57 
Copepoda and Parasita^ 2 Pycnogonida and 12 Cirripeda is given by 
R. T. Maitland, Ned. T. D. i. (1875) pp. 228-270. 31 species of 
Crustacea (including Pycnogonida) observed at the zoological station at 
the Helder, Holland, are enumerated by P. P. C. Hoek, op. cit. ii. 
pp. 39-44. 
Mediterranean. G . O. Sars has observed 20 species of My sides and 15 
of Ouniacea in the Mediterranean, 15 and 6 of which are peculiar to 
that sea, the others occur also in the northern seas of Europe. Arch. 
Math. Naturvid. i. pp. 1-5. The Mysidm are fully described by him 
[see infra, p. 9]. 
Marion has collected several exotic or new species of Crustacea, out- 
side a vessel arriving at Marseilles from Pondicherry ; they were 
Pachygrapsus advena, sp. n., Nautilograpsus minutus (L.), Plagusia 
squamosa (Hbst.), and tomentosa (M.E.), Idotea tricuspidata (Desm.), 
Amphithoe penicillata (Costa), Proholium poly prion (Costa), and2Cirri- 
peds ; this will account for the wide distribution of some species of 
Crustacea. Catta, Ann. Sci. Nat. (6) iii. No. 1. 
Many interesting notes on deep sea and surface Crustacea in the 
Atlantic and Southern Indian Sea, observed on board H. M. S. “ Chal- 
lenger," by Willemoes-Suhm, P. R. Soc. xxiv. pp. 570-592. The same 
from the China Sea and the Pacific in Z. wiss. Zool. xxvi. p. Iv. ; some 
of them will be indicated in the special part.

Crustacea in twelve dredgings from various depths between Falkland 
Islands and Tristan d'Acunha, by Wyville Thomson, tom. cit. p. 635. 
Many small Crustaceans, usually of a bright orange colour — Copepods,
