GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 
Grust. 14 
clita porosa collected by R. Burton in the Gulf of Akaba ; E. Miers, 
Ann. N. H. (5) ii. pp. 40G-411. 
Coast of Mozambique. One hundred species of CVwstocea collected by 
W. Peters in 1843-47 have been determined, and such as are new 
described by F. Hilgendorf, MB. Ak. Berl. 1878, pp. 782-851, pis. i.-iv. 
Many of these species live also in the East Indies and even in North 
Australia and New Caledonia, from careful comparison of specimens from 
both localities by the author. 
7 . Pacific. 
Twenty -six species of Decapodous Crustacea, common to the Eastern 
and Western Coast of North America, are enumerated by Kingsley, Bull. 
U. S. Geol. Surv. ix. pp. 191 & 192. 
The Porcellanidce, Thalassinidce, and Palinuridce known from the 
Pacific Coast of North America reviewed by W. N. Lockington, Ann. 
N. H. (5) ii. pp. 299-302 & 394-406. The species of A Ipheus ; id. op. cit. i. 
pp. 465-480, with descriptions of new species. 
Four species of Brachyura, 2 of Anomura, and 1 of Macrura from Cali- 
fornia ; 31 Brachyura, 5 Anomura, and 3 Macrura from the Hawaiian 
and some other islands in the North Pacific ; 3 pelagic Macrura, 3 Schizo- 
poda, 11 Amphipoda, and 6 Copepoda from the Northern Pacific, and 3 
Copepoda from the Southern Pacific, enumerated, and several new among 
them described, by T. H. Streets, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 7, 1877, 
pp. 10.3-141. 
On Pelagic A mphipoda collected in the Pacific by W. H. Jones ; they 
approach the surface about twilight and remain at or near the surface for 
two or three hours, especially in cloudy or squally nights, or in warm and 
sultry weather with a smooth sea ; in the daytime very few can be cap- 
tured. Streets, P. Ac. Philad. 1878, pp. 276 & 277. 
8 . Australian Seas. 
Nexo Zealand. Twelve species of Oxyrrhyncha, 21 Cyclometopa, 27 
Catometopa (including 8 Pinnotheridce, 16 Grapsidoe, and 1 Cardisomd), 2 
Oxystomata, 13 Anomura, 18 Macrura, 2 Stomatopoda, 18 marine Isopoda 
(including 2 Serolis), and \h Amphipoda, altogether 140 spp., are enu- 
merated and described by E. J. Miers in his “Catalogue of the stalk- 
and sessile- eyed Crustacea of New Zealand (1876), chiefly from the 
collection in the British Museum and from published books, a few of 
them also from specimens given by J. Hector. The author remarks that 
some of these are distributed throughout the Indopacific or Oriental 
region, others are common with South America, or South Africa, and 
may be called Antarctic, whilst some find their nearest relations in 
Europe. The species figured here for the first time will be mentioned 
below. 
Twenty-two species, viz., 2 Macrura, 14 Amphipoda, and 6 Isopoda, 
including 19 new, are added to the New Zealand fauna by G. M. Thomson, 
Tr. N. Z. Inst. xi. pp. 230-248, pi. x. T. W. Kirk makes further
