The Cancer horridus of Linnaeus is certainly different 
from the C. horridus of Pennants It is well figured in 
Seba. 
Lady Aylesford and Colonel Montague have found it on 
our coasts; indeed it is not very rare. Pennant’s C. horridus, 
under the above circumstances requiring a new name, might 
be called C. spinosissimus . It is again remarkable that 
Gmelin has made a part of his Generic Character in these 
words, “ cauda inermis;” whereas the thorax, legs and tail 
of this are covered with spines. We have some idea of 
ficruring it ; as there is not a coloured figure of it among 
British°authors yet; and if we figure it, we may be able to 
clear up all doubts. We have it from Hartlepool by favour 
of our friend the Ilev. James Dalton, and we know they 
have been found in Scotland. It has been doubted whether 
it is a British species. 
There is a specimen of our C. Maja in the museum of 
Mr. Heaviside, Surgeon; under the name of C. spinosus .

callosity at the end becoming more conspicuous, parti- 
cularly well observed in Seba’s figures.
