Spitzbergen in the summer, by E. J. Miers, Ann. N. H. (4) xix. 
pp. 131-140. Only one Brachyure is among them, Ilyas araneus (L.) 
Smith Sound and coasts of Grinnell Land, north of lat. 78*^ N. : 9 species 
of Macrura, 1 Stomatopcd, 4 Isopoda, 12 Amphipoda, 1 Phyllopod, 1 
Copepod, 1 Cirriped (and 2 Pycnogonida) collected by Feilden and Hart 
during the Arctic Expedition of 1875-76, enumerated by E. J. Miers, 
Ann. N. II. (4) xx. pp. 52-66 & 96-110. 
White Sea. Notes on its rich marine fauna, chiefly in Amphipods, but 
also Isopods and Decapods, by Prof. Wagner at the meeting of 
Russian naturalists at Warsaw, Sept. 1876 (Z. wiss. Zool. xxviii. p. 385). 
Calanus (Midi.) [7’cw,om], principal food of tlm herring, 
and Anomalocera pnttersoni (Tomi>l.) \_Ircnaius], principal food of the 
mackerel, both in immense numbers in the sea between Norway and 
Iceland ; G. O. Sars, report on the Norwegian expedition in 1876, extract 
in Circulare des deutschen Eischerei-Vereins, 1877, pp. 28 & 29. 
The known species of Cirripedia living on the Dutch coast are enu- 
merated by P. P. C. Hoek in an academical dissertation published at 
Leiden in 1875, and also in Tijdschr. Nederl. dierk. Yer. ii. [1876], pp. 
16-61, pi. i. They are 4 species of Balanus, including B. improvisus 
(Darwin), in channels of brackish water at Amsterdam and Leiden, 1 
Verruca and 2 Lepas ; Balanus tintinnahulum (L.) and Conchoderma 
auritum (L.) have been occasionally found on ships. 
Seas of Southern Europe. 
Portugal. F. de Brito Gapello has given a supplement to his list 
of Portuguese Crustacea Decapoda [see Zool. Rec. xii. p. 217] containing 
some new species, J. Sci. Lisb. v. [1876] No. 18, pp. 121-127. The same 
author publishes a new list of Portuguese Crustacea, tom. cit. (No. 20) 
pp. 264-274, and op. cit. vi. (No. 21) pp. 74-80, also containing only the 
Decapoda. In both papers, some now species are described. 
Here may be mentioned a work published by the late G. D. Nardo in 
1869, hitherto not included in Zool. Rec. It is contained in the 
Memorie delP Istituto Yeneto dclle scienze, vol. xiv. and treats on the 
Crustacea of the Adriatic Sea, giving first a copious record of all previous 
publications bearing on this subject and then proceeding to determine 
and describe in systematic order the drawings of Adriatic Crustacea, 
drawn by S. Chieregiiini at the beginning of this century, but never 
published. They appear to contain some new species, and even [doubt- 
ful] new genera ; the figures are copied from the drawings. 
J. D. Oatta notes several Amphipoda observed in the Gulf of Mar- 
seilles, sonm only known hitherto from the northern seas, o.g., Mirro- 
dcutopus anomalus (Rathke), Ampelisca helliana Bate), Lc,ucothne 
articulosa (Mont.). Rev. Montp. iv. [1875, Sept.]. 
Indian and Australian Seas. 
R. Kossmann describes and discusses a number of Crustacea, chiefly 
Brachyura and Copepoda, collected by himself on the shores of the Rod
