Galathea strigosa is a common species on most of the rocky shores of Great Britain. It has 
been confounded by all the authors who have noticed it, with Cancer strigosus of Linne, but as it 
will not agree with the description given in the twelfth edition of the Systema Natur* and in the 
Fauna Suecica, I have been under the necessity of changing the specific name. 
Our figure is colored from a drawing most kindly sent to me by Mrs. Dorville, who drew 
it from a living specimen. 
In the young state the legs are most elegantly annulated with red and white, as exhibited in 
figure 2.
