The writer reviews the various published accounts of this genus, and 
briefly notices the results of his own examination of specimens in the 
British Museum and elsewhere. The number of legs seems to vary con- 
siderably in specimens received from the same localities, but in the 
Australian and New Zealand species, the number seems fixed.
