Plymouth. Mr. Loughrin has sent it us, with their 
nests built in Plumularia , from Polperro, from which our 
vignette was drawn. Mr. Edward has sent it to us also, with 
nests built in Corallina officinalis , taken from rock pools 
near Banff ; and the Rev. A. M. Norman has dredged it 
in from two to five fathoms in Outer Skerries Harbour, 
Shetlands, as well as one mile north of Whalsey Lighthouse 
in forty fathoms of water. Bruzelius records it from 
the coasts of Norway and Bohusia. 
* In a note to the Translation of Mr. Spence Bate’s Paper on the 4 4 Nidi- 
fication of Crustacea,” reprinted from the Ann. Nat. Hist. Feb. 1858, into the 
Annales des Sciences Naturelles, the editor objects to the word “nests” as 
applied to these abodes of Crustacea, but the fact that the young are therein 
nurtured and protected justifies us in continuing the term first used.
