H. Sowerbcei was first described and figured in the above quoted work, by Mr. Sowerbv 
who received it from the Scottish coast, where it was found by Mr. Simmons, a youno- man 
who has since fallen a sacrifice to his zeal for Natural History in the AYest Indies. 
The imperfect specimen from whence the annexed figure is taken, was sent to me by mv 
liberal friend P. Neill, Esq. who took it out of the boat of a fisherman at Newhaven, in the 
Frith of Forth, and kept it alive in sea water for several days. Mr. Neill informed me that 
he had not met with one of this species for fifteen years.
