I.—Report on the Schizopods collected by Mr. George Murray, F.R.S., during the Cruise of the ‘Oceana’ in 1898. By E. W. L. Hour and W. M. Tarrersatt, B.Sc.
[Plates I. & II.]
Tue material dealt with in the following paper was collected in November 1898 during the cruise of the ‘ Oceana’ in deep water off the west coast of Ireland some 200 miles west of Valentia. The area in which the collections were made lies between lat. 52° 4” 5” N. and 52° 27’ 6’’ N., and long. 12° 27’ W. and 15° 53’ 9” W., the depth of water varying from 453 to 1835 fathoms. This region is thus partly within and partly without the British Area as defined by Norman. The method of collecting was by open serial tow-nets fished horizontally at known depths and hauled, still fishing, to the surface. It is obvious therefore that part of the catch of any net may have been made during its descent or ascent. We have thus no reliable guide as to the exact depth at which a species was caught, though a reasonable inference of the inhabitants of the various zones.of water can be obtained

by comparisons of the contents of the different nets in each vertical series.
The classification and terminology used in the present report are the same as those recently used by us in dealing with Schizopods from the Atlantic slope *.

* ‘Report Inland and Sea Fisheries of Iveland for 1902 and 1903,’ pt. ii, App. iv. [1905].
the Schizopods collected by the ‘ Oceana.’ 3
Of these species two were found to be new to science, viz. Katerythrops Oceane and Gnathophausia drepanephora, Descriptions and figures of these have already appeared (H. & T. loc. cit.), but it has been thought advisable to give brief diagnoses in the present report as well.
Three of the above species were taken by the ‘ Oceana’ for the first time in British waters, viz. :—
Euphausia pellucida. Thysanoessa gregaria. Stylocheiron Suhmit.
Stylocheiron abbreviatum and Eucopia australis were ouly taken in those hauls made outside the British Area, and so cannot be admitted to the British list on the evidence of the ‘Oceana’ collections, though both species have since been met with in British waters (H. & T. loc. cit.).
Schizopods occurred in thirty out of a total of forty * havls with the tow-nets—a very fair proportion. It is interesting to note that no Sckhizopods occurred in the surface-hauls at any of the stations, nor in any net fished at less than 2380 fathoms, while seven of the nine species were taken only in those nets towed at greater depths than 500 fathoms. Very few hauls were made, however, at less depths than 500 fathoms, which, in so far as Schizopods are con- cerned, is to be regretted, since many of the species captured have been shown to belong essentially to the upper strata by the collections made in the Bay of Biscay in July 1900 by Dr. Fowler. It would have been interesting to have seen whether this holds for the same species in November, in so far as it may be legitimate to compare July of 1900 with November of 1899. It is possible that the absence of Euphausians from the surface and upper waters may be ex- plained by the consideration that most of the ‘ Oceana’ hauls were made during the daytime, and we have evidence from Dr. Fowler’s collections that certain Euphausians, such as Huphausia pellucida, rise to the upper strata by night and sink by day; or, if this be not admitted as fully proven, it is at least certain that the more active forms are exceedingly difficult to catch in the upper strata during daylight, espe- cially in ordinary fine mesh silk tow-nets, such as were used by the ‘Oceana.’ We are unable to conelude that the absence of Schizopods from the nets fished from 230 fathoms or less furnishes material evidence of the distribution of

these forms in the upper strata. In the work of the ‘ Helga’ the only net which has been found really efficient for their capture at or near the surface, even at night, has an opening of about 16 square feet (about eight times that of an ordinary ring tow-net), with a mesh of mosquito-netting or the largest size of grit-gauze, which permits of hauling at a speed which would burst fine bolting-silk.
The details of each haul in which Schizopods occurred, together with the total number and size of the examples tuken, are set forth in the table (pp. 4-5).
Euphausia pellucida, Dana.
This species occurred in twenty-five out of thirty hauls in which Schizopods were taken. None of the specimens reached the full size of the species. The ‘ Oceana’ collections first demonstrated the existence of EH. pellucida in British waters. E. bidentata, Sars, is probably the name most strictly applicable to the North Atlantic form of E. pellucida.
Meganyctiphanes norvegica (M. Sars).
Only two specimens of this rather common form were taken by the ‘Oceana.’ ‘They occurred in net 2y fishing from 650 fathoms to the surface. Station 2 was the station nearest land, and the absence of this species from the hauls at the more westerly stations suggests that the latter were beyond the most seaward limit of its distribution at the time. It is, however, an active form which might well avoid small tow-nets.
We have found this species common off the west coast of Ireland.
Thysanoessa longicaudata (Kroyer). Synon. 7. tenera, G. O. Sars.
This was by far the most abundant Schizopod taken by the ‘Oceana’ in point of numbers, though in the number of hauls in which it occurred it is surpassed by both Euphausia pellucida and Stylocheiron Suhmii. All the specimens were more or less badly damaged, and out of a total of 150 not one had a perfect leg of any kind left.

Thysanoessa gregaria?, G. O. Sars.
Specimens occurred in nine hauls, in nets fishing between 500-1700 fathoms and the surface. We have noted (/oc. cit.) that the specimens diverge slightly from Sars’s description of the type. Probably they will prove referable to Hansen’s T. parva.
Stylocheiron Suhmii, G. O. Sars. Synon. See Hansen, Buil. Mus. Ocean. Monaco, no. 30 (1905).
S. Suhmii occurred in twenty-five out of thirty hauls, in nets fishing between 270-1770 fathoms and the surface. It was one of the commonest Schizopods taken by Mr. Murray, who collected it in British waters for the first time. Several larve of this species in all stages of develop- ment were also captured during the cruise.
Stylocheiron abbreviatum, G. O. Sars. Synon. S. chelifer, Chun.
A single male example of this species, measuring 20 mm., occurred in net 5 A, fishing from 1410 fathoms to the surface. This is much larger than Chun’s specimens, which measured only 14mm., but examples of nearly equal size were captured by Dr. Fowler in the Bay of Biscay.
Katerythrops Oceana, H. & T.
This is one of the new species taken by the ‘ Oceana.’ Descriptions and figures which have already appeared (H. & T. loc. cit.) arereproduced, and brief diagnoses of the genus and species are repeated below.
Kateryturops, H. & T.
Characters of the pleopods in the adult male uncertain ; pleopods of the female unknown. Other characters as in Meterythrops, 8.1. Smith, except :—
Antennal scale considerably reduced in length in proportion to peduncles of antenna and antennule, narrow and feeble, its outer margin naked, entire, terminating in a small spine, sete few, confined to the apex and distal third (approximately) of the inner margin.
Telson possibly without the median sete.
8 Messrs. E. W. L. Holt and W. M. Tattersall on
Katerythrops Oceane, H.& T. (PI. IT.)
Form robust. Carapace much wider than the pleon, almost entirely covering the thoracic segments; anterior margin obtusely rounded ; cephalic region inflated and poste- riorly defined by a well-marked cervical sulcus. Pleon with the last segment almost as long as the two preceding segments taken together. Eyes small, remote from each other, sub- pyriform, the proximal part the broader; visual area restricted to less than the distal half; cornea not so wide as the last joint of the antennular peduncle; pigment after preservation in formalin reddish buff. Peduncle of antennule at least a fifth longer than the last segment of the pleon, proportionally stout, its last joint about equal to the two preceding, beset dorsally between the insertions of the flagella with a bidentate tubercle, of which the denticles are nearly in the same dorso-ventral plane. Antennal scale very short, narrow, and somewhat outwardly curved ; outer margin entire, naked, terminating in a feeble spme; apex produced considerably beyond the spine, subacute, setz confined to the apex and to about the distal third of the imner margin ; length of scale more than four times (about =) the greatest width, shghtly less than the combined length of the last two joints of the antennal peduncle, and but little exceeding the length of the last joint of the antennular peduncle. An- tennal peduncle long and proportionally stout, combined length of the last two joints greater than that of the last joint of the antennular peduncle.
Exopodites of the thoracic limbs very well developed, with unusually large flagella. Hndopodites of the first four pairs moderately long and stout; the tarsus in the third and fourth pairs consisting of three joints, and succeeded by a well-developed dactylus; setze not more plumose than in Parerythrops &c. Pleopods of all five pairs biramous in the male, the inner ramus bifid. Je/son subtriangular, shorter than the last segment of the pleon by about two sevenths of the length of the latter, its sides entire and slightly inflected ; apex narrowly truncate, armed with two pairs of rather slender spines, of which the inner are considerably the longer and stouter ; a median pair of setze possibly present. Outer uropod the longer, its length including basal articulation slightly greater than the combined length of the fifth and sixth segments of the pleon. Length of the type specimen (an immature male) 6 mm., including antennular peduncles and uropods.,
the Schizopods collected by the ‘ Oceana,’ 9
A single specimen of this species occurred in each of two hauls—6 g, fishing from 560 fathoms to the surface, and 4h, fishing from 1470 fathoms to the surface. It is evidently one of the few known oceanic or strictly pelagic Mysids.
Gnathophausia drepanephora, H. & T.
This is the second of the new forms discovered by Mr. Murray. Descriptions and figures of this species have already appeared. The figure is reproduced and a brief diagnosis is given below. It belongs to a new section of the genus Gnathophausia, which may be described as follows :—
Genus GnatuopHausisA, Willemoes-Suhm. (Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond. ser. 2, Zool. vol. i.)
Section 4*.
Infero-posterior corners of carapace produced into a spine. Dorsal keel interrupted anteriorly. Supraorbital spine small, Antennal scale not jointed at apex. First thoracic legs with distinctly developed exopodites. Epimeral plates of last segment not united on the ventral face.
Gnathophausia drepanephora, H.& T. (PI. II.)
Form of body slender. Carapace not very large; dorsal spine about as long as first segment of pleon ; infero-posterior corners produced into a spine, bluntly serrulate on ventral edge, nearly reaching fourth segment of pleon ; upper lateral keel present; dorsal keel unarmed ; cervical sulcus rather distinct ; rostrum elongate and slender, as long as the cara- pace without the infero-posterior spines, distinctly denticulate on all three edges; supraorbital and antennal spines well defined, but small. Branchiostegal projections of moderate proportions, but distinctly poimted. Anterior segments of pleon without dorsal spines ; epimeral plates produced poste- riorly into pointed lappets. Eyes very narrow, cornea scarcely at all expanded, pigment (as preserved in formol) rather pale brown. Outer flagellum of antennule in male expanded and flattened at the base, which is beset on the inner side with a brush-like fringe of fine curling setz. Antennal scale of moderate size, about four times as long as broad, tapering distally and very obliquely truncate ; inner angle produced into a sharp point, outer edge with (about) three denticulations distally. Telson large and massive,

with the terminal spines crescent-shaped and denticulate along the upper face; lateral margins armed for the usual distance with large spines, separated from each other by intervals occupied by a few smaller spines. Uropods shorter than telson ; the proximal joint of outer uropod terminating externally in a spine about one fourth as long as distal joint. Colour red. Length 39 mm.
The only known specimen was taken in net 4J/, fished at 1770 fathoms and thence to the surface.
Eucopia australis, Dana.
A single specimen was taken in each of four hauls, in nets working between 500-1710 fathoms and the surface. One of the examples measured 33 mm. in length, which is not, however, quite the full size of the species, since it is known to reach at least 50 mm.
Previous to the ‘Oceana’ cruise the only record of this species from near our coasts is one by Calman, who records its capture by the R. I. A. expedition in 1888 off the west coast of Ireland in 1020 fathoms. We have since recorded it from soundings of less than 1000 fathoms.

Il.— Descriptions of new Coleoptera of the Family Cetoniide from British New Guinea. By Otiver HK. JANSON, F.E.S.
THE Coleoptera recently brought home by Mr. A. Pratt and his son from British New Guinea mainly consisted of a very fine series of Cetoniide, which I have been fortunate in obtaining. The collection was made on the ascent of the Owen Stanley range between Ekeikei (1500 feet) and Mafalu (8000 feet), chiefly in the vicinity of the village of Babooni, at an elevation of about 3600 feet. Besides the novelties now described the collection also contained the following species :—Ischiopsopha gagatina, Hell.; Lomaptera lina, Gest., Anne, Hell., satanas, Hell., irtdescens, Hell., fulvi- cornis, Hell.; Mycterophallus viridula, Kz.; and several others at present undetermined. Prof. Dr. Heller has kindly verified the determination of several species for me by a comparison with his types in the Dresden Museum.
MoROKIA, gen. nov.
Gen. Lomaptere affine. Corpus robustum, ovatum, valde convexum. Clypeus profunde incisus, lateribus elevatis. Thorax lateribus regulariter rotundatis, marginatis, Scutellum lobo postico thoracis haud obtectum, apice acuminatum. LElytra profunde punctato-sulcata. Pygidium transversum, depressum. Meso- sterni processus valde productus, oblique directus, apice compressus, obtusus. Pedes breves, tibiis anticis in utroque sexu bidentatis.

British New Guinea, Morok (A. S. Anthony); Upper Aroa River (A. S. Meek); Babooni (A. #. Pratt).
Of an ovate form, the body convex and strongly arched above, the thorax and head being much depressed, deep shiny black. Head not very closely punctured, slightly convex in the centre, side margins of the clypeus raised. Thorax
12 Mr. O. E. Janson on new Coleoptera
broadly rounded and margined at the sides, basal angles rounded and leaving the epimera largely exposed ; basal lobe Jarge, broadly rounded and slightly emarginate at its apex, sparsely punctured on the disk and much more coarsely so towards the sides ; besides this punctuation the whole surface when examined under a lens is seen to be very densely and minutely punctured. Elytra narrowed behind and conjointly rounded at the apex, the apical sutural angles in some specimens a little rounded, the disk of each with six deep furrows bearing chain-like rows of coarse semicircular punc- tures, the interstices very convex and smooth, the sides with three rows of very coarse punctures merging into a coarse transverse strigosity towards the apex. Pygidium transverse, depressed, and coarsely strigose, the underside slightly impressed in the centre in the male, in the female rather more obtuse at the apex and with a large deep central impression on the underside. Beneath coarsely strigose and punctured at the sides; mesosternal process very large, obliquely divergent, slightly curved and almost vertical towards the apex, which is a little compressed and obtuse ; in some specimens there is a more or less distinct tooth or keel on the inner edge near the apex. Legs short, femora strigose and lightly fringed with short black hairs; anterior tibize with two lateral teeth, which are more or less obsolete in the male, but large and very acute in the female.
I received a specimen of this remarkable and distinct insect some years back from Mr. Anthony, but considered it inadvisable to describe it as new upon a single example. Messrs. Meek and Pratt have since met with it sparingly. ‘The strongly arched body, ovate form, deeply sulcate elytra, short legs, &e. will readily distinguish it from Lomaptera. In one female specimen the pygidium is only slightly impressed, as in the male.
Lomaptera Pratti, sp. n.

British New Guinea, Babooni (A. 2. Pratt); Mount Victoria (A. S. Anthony).
Dark green, in some specimens more or less tinged with olivaceous ; underside of the head with the palpi and an- tenn, anterior coxe and femora, intermediate coxe, and in some specimens the hinder part of the prosternum rufous, tinged with green. Head finely punctured, and more sparsely so at the base ; clypeus long, very deeply cleft, and without any raised margin. Thorax coarsely punctured at the sides, more finely and very sparsely punctured on the disk, strongly widened at the base, the basal angles being produced, de- pressed, and obtuse, the side margins rather strongly raised on the basal three fourths, the basal lobe long, narrow, and rounded at its apex. LHlytra with two slightly indicated discal costze and some rows of coarse punctures, which become obsolete towards the base and merge into the coarse trans- verse strigosity with which the apical half is closely covered ; sides a little dilated at the shoulders, where the marginal line is deeply impressed, the apex rather strongly produced towards the suture and slightly emarginate at the sutural angle. Pygidium transverse, subconical, coarsely strigose, the underside a little flattened towards the apex in the male, and in the female with a large central depression, having a strongly raised semicircular apical border. Underside coarsely strigose and sparsely pubescent at the sides; mentum, pro- sternum, and anterior coxee and femora with long rufous hairs ; mesosternal process long, obliquely divergent, and sharply keeled on the underside near the apex ; abdomen obliquely strigose, the fifth segment with very coarse setiferous punc- tures, and in the male with a strong central furrow ; anterior tibia simple in the male, and with a slight subapical tooth in the female.
This fine species is very distinct from any with which I am acquainted, but from the description of L. Beccari, Gest., it would appear to be allied to that species. The colour is very similar to that of Z. wirens and Latreille’, but rather more metallic.
Lomaptera lutea, sp. n.
Lutea vel testacea, nitida, prothorace elytrisque opalino-irides- centibus ; capite postice, prothorace macula magna M-formi, metasterno in parte mediana, femoribus apice, tibiis anticis et intermediis, posticis apice tarsisque omnibus nigris; abdomine

Very like L. Anne, Hell., but smaller and of a narrower form, the colour and markings similar, but with a very distinct opalescent iridescence on the thorax and elytra; the head is very much more sparsely and finely punctured, especially towards the apex of the clypeus; the thorax is also less punctured and narrower at the base (the angles being less divergent) ; the elytra are a little emarginate at the apex, with the sutural angle slightly produced; the pygidium of the male is similar to that of Anne, but in the female it is less produced than in that species, much broader and almost truncate at the apex; it is also more coarsely aciculated on the upperside and more deeply impressed on each side beneath. The male forceps of the two species are also very different.
The extent of the black markings varies considerably in the series before me; the margin of the clypeus and the basal portions of the sides of the thorax and elytra are generally narrowly edged with black, and in some specimens this narrow black edging also extends to the apical and basal margins of the thorax and the basal and sutural margins of the elytra; there is often a more or less distinct black spot on each side of the thorax and on the shoulders, and some- times two small linear marks on the forehead; in several specimens there are rows of dark punctiform spots on the elytra. On the underside the black coloration frequently extends to the prosternum, coxe, abdomen, and other parts, whilst the tibiee in some are almost entirely black and in others only partially so.
Mr, Pratt obtained a rather large series of both this species and Anna, the latter also showing considerable varia- tion in the extent of the black markings.
Lomaptera semicastanea, Kz.
Besides a considerable series of the New Guinea form of this species named var. pseudorufa by Dr. Heller, there are
from British New Guinea. 15
also in Mr. Pratt’s collection several others differing so widely in coloration as to have the appearance of being distinct species ; but upon careful examination I am unable to find any other characters to separate them, and must therefore treat them as varieties; and although I am generally opposed to the giving of distinctive names to mere varieties, I do so in this instance, as they are well-marked forms of which no intermediate variations connecting them occur in the collection.

Allied to Z. rufa, Kz.; very similar in coloration, but the thorax and elytra of a darker or more castaneous red; it is also larger and of a broader form; the clypeus is more dilated in front, making the apical lobes less acute ; the thorax is proportionately broader at the base, rather sparsely punc- tured, and not strigose at the sides; the elytra are more strongly sinuate behind the shoulders and not so closely aciculate ; the pygidium in the male is similar in form, but
16 Mr. O. E. Janson on new Coleoptera
more coarsely and less closely strigose; in the female it is more broadly rounded at the apex than in this sex of rufa, and is impressed and smooth on the underside, and with a slight but distinct narrow, longitudinal, central carina, becoming obsolete towards the apex : the mesosternal process is longer and more incurved, and the anterior tibie# of both sexes are without any indication of lateral teeth.
From var. pseudorufa, Hell., which it is also like in colora- tion, it may be distinguished by the incurved mesosternal process, and the different structure of the pygidium and scarcely emarginate sixth abdominal segment in the female; the male forceps are also very distinct.

Front of head and the clypeus, sides and front of thorax, pygidium, underside, antenne, and legs brownish red, with a greenish reflection ; base of head, the disk and a small spot on each side of the thorax, and the centre of the body beneath brassy green; elytra pale yellow, with a greenish reflection; a broad sutural band, commencing at the base and gradually narrowed to the apex, dark green; asmall humeral spot and the anterior half of the extreme outer margin black. Head very closely punctured on the clypeus, more sparsely so between the eyes, and smooth at the base. ‘Thorax very sparsely punctured on the disk, more coarsely and closely punctured towards the sides, and rugose near the margin ; basal lobe large, almost impunctate, and slightly notched at its apex; lateral margins a little reflexed; the basal angles slightly produced and depressed. Elytra sparsely punc- tured at the base and in the scutellary region, the rest of their surface finely transversely aciculated, subcostate at the sides ; the apex a little rounded, with the sutural angles very slightly produced and acute. Pygidium transverse, sub- conical, aciculated both above and below. Underside finely strigose and with rather sparse grey pubescence ; mesosternal process long, almost cylindrical, a little curved and obtuse at the apex ; apical margin of the sixth abdominal segment a

In the female the pygidium is more produced and impressed on each side underneath, the fifth abdominal segment is more strongly punctured and pubescent, and the anterior tibia have a distinct subapical tooth which is not present in the male.
A small series of this pretty species was contained in Mr. Pratt’s collection ; in coloration it would seem to most nearly resemble L. macrophylla, Gest., a species only known to me by description ; but the antennal club is of normal size in both sexes. In some specimens the elytra present rows of small dark punctiform spots and a greenish mark on the apical callosities. F

The pygidium is nearly smooth and without any longitudinal carina on the upper side; in the female it is slightly laterally compressed and more pointed at the apex than in the male. The legs are reddish or piceous, with the four posterior femora coppery.

This genus has bitherto been known only from Australia, and it is interesting to find a species so closely allied from ‘the mountains of New Guinea.
III.—A new Noctuid from Sierra Leone. By W. J. HOLLAND.
THROUGH the kindness of Mr. William Schaus, the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh has received a number of interesting African moths. One of these, representing a new genus and species, has been singled out because of its apparent rarity and rare beauty to bear as its specific designation the name of the donor of the collection.
I must thank Sir George F. Hampson for saving me the labour of preparing the following diagnoses of the genus and species. With that courtesy which marks all his intercourse with scientific men visiting the British Museum, he, knowing that my time was taken up with affairs of greater magnitude, such as the Diplodocus, kindly wrote the description both of the genus and the species and handed them to me to be employed in this paper.

PYcNOSTIGMUS, gen. nov.
9. Fore wings with a subcostal nervure ending in a thick, pyriform, large, horny stigma, more than twice longer than thick counting from the costa to the hinder part of the wing, and slightly narrowed aud rounded behind; shortly beyond the middle an oblique transverse nervure runs from shortly below the middle to the subcostal nervure. Hind wings with a subcostal nervure extending from the base to shortly beyond the middle; its apex is distinctly thickened. An- tenne 18-jointed, not much thickened towards the apex. Second abdominal segment very large, the apical ones short, the fourth shorter than the others. Ovipositor straight, slightly projecting. Malar space large, longer than the eyes, which are placed on the top, are apparently bare and parallel. Clypeus not separated from the face in the middle, its sides above bordered by a large deep fovea; the apex of the clypeus (or it may be the labrum) is narrowed, hollowed, transverse, with the sides rounded. Parapsidal furrows complete, deep. Scutellum large, rugose, gradually roundly narrowed towards the apex, where there are two fovee or depressions ; at its base are two large foveze; the mesonotum is separated from

it by a transverse furrow. Head and thorax shining, sparsely punctured and haired.
The legs are moderately long and stout; the hind cox: are about three times longer than wide; the fore calcari: curved, slender, simple. The hypopygium is large, but does not project much; above it is a short stumpy projection— the apex, apparently, of the penultimate segment. The abdomen is sessile, the basal segment being very short and smovth.
The species on which Pycnostigmusine is founded cannot well be placed in any of the subfam‘lies hitherto recognized. The alar structure is very peculiar; there is neither radius nor cubitus, the place of these being taken by the large horny pyriform stigma, or stigmal branch (if that is a more appropriate term). This character, with the larger number of antennal joints, should readily separate it from the Figitine and Euceeline, with which it is otherwise most nearly allied. There is no known Hymenopteron with such a peculiar horny structure on the wings.
Pycnostigmus rostratus, sp. n.
Black, shining, the knees testaceous; the head, antenne, and legs thickly covered with white pubescence; wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous, the stigma darker, more piceous in tint. Face with scattered punctures in the centre, the sides aciculated; clypeus smooth and shining. — Pro- notum finely rugose, the apex with pitted punctures ; the mesonotum with scattered shallow punctures. Scutellum coarsely, irregularly, rugosely punctured.

The antenne are as long as the body, are not much thickened towards the apex; the pedicle is twice longer than broad ; the third and fourth joints are about equal i in length ; the last is conical and twice the length of the penultimate. Cheeks margiued. The eyes appear to be slightly hairy ; they are probably rubbed.

So many additions have been made to the African freshwater fish-fauna during the last few years, over 400 new species having been described by myself, that a full list, with a brief indication of the habitats, seems worthy of publication. This list is intended to serve as a basis for a general account of the distribution of these fishes which I am now preparing for the South African Meeting of the British Association.
In order to save space bibliographical references have been omitted ; the indication of the author for each genus and species, coupled with the year of publication, should, with the help of the British Museum Catalogue and the series of volumes of the ‘ Zoological Record’ (from 1864), suffice to meet the requirements of the student.
Merely estuarine forms are excluded from tliis list.
Species occurring both in the sea and in fresh water are marked with an asterisk after the indication of the habitat.

VII.—A Revision of the Fishes of the American Cichlid Genus Cichlosoma and of the Allied Genera. By C. Tarr Regan, ISgAG
I GRATEFULLY acknowledge the kind assistance given to me in the prepartion of this paper by Dr. Steindachner, to whom I am indebted for information as to the number of gill-rakers in the typical examples of Cichlosoma bifasciatum, C. lentiginosum, C. altifrons, and C. Sieboldii,and by Dr. Th. Gill, through whose intervention the British Museum has acquired typical specimens of Cichlosoma centrarchus, C. bal- teatum, C. rostratum, and C. basilare. Dr. S. Garman has very kindly given me information as to the number of gill- rakers and the length of the dorsal spines in C. pavonaceum.
In the descriptions of the species the number of scales in a longitudinal series is counted from above the origin of the lateral line to the base of the caudal fin, in a transverse series from the base of the first dorsal spine to the lateral line and thence to the middle of the abdomen. The number of scales in a transverse series between the lateral line and the base of the soft dorsal fin does not include the scales forming the sheath which is usually present at the base of the fin. The length of the last dorsal spine is measured from its tip to its actual base, not to the free edge of the scaly sheath at its base. The caudal peduncle is messured from the level of the base of the last anal ray to the actual base of the middle caudal rays, a point which is easily ascer- tained by bending tlhe fin laterally. I have given a list of the specimens in the British Museum collection on which my descriptions are founded, with the total length in milli- metres of cach,
American Cichlid Genus Cichlosoma. 61
The relations of the genera here dealt with are shown in the following synopsis :—
Dorsal fin without notch between spinous and soft portions; anal fin with more than 3 spines; gill-rakers short or of moderate length, in small or moderate number.
I. Dorsal with XIII-XX 10-16 rays, anal with IV-XII 7-16. A. Teeth all conical or cylindrical, not compressed. Posterior (ascending) processes of preemaxillaries shorter Gear Hepneme sey aio ey tfe, cho) « «9ioay Sea teats «il oped) eh Cichlosoma. Posterior processes of preemaxillaries as long as the head.

Body deep or elongate, compressed ; scales large or mode- rate, usually ctenoid. Two lateral lines. Jaws with bands of small conical teeth, the outer series more or less enlarged and sometimes forming canines. Mouth small or moderate.

Premaxillary processes shorter than the head; maxillary exposed or not. Upper surface of head scaly to the level of the orbits or beyond; cheeks and opercular bones scaly ; preeoperculum entire. Gill-rakers rather short and few (6-15 on the lower part of anterior arch). A single dorsal fin, with XIV—XIX 7-15 rays; no notch between spinous and soft portions. Anal with IV—XII 6-14 rays. Pectoral asymmetrical, with 12-18 rays; ventrals below or a little behind the base of the pectorals. Caudal rounded, truncate or emarginate.
Numerous species from Mexico, Central and South America.
I have examined the skeleton in four species, in which the number of vertebree is as follows :—
Ci guttulatum 9. ost 14-16 =30, Ce CeLracanthus @n obsess. lotro oe C.octofasciatum. ~. . . 184+16=29) C. Saint (sa) ae oe loo 25,
The ribs are subsessile. The supraoccipital crest is high and extends forwards on to the frontals, which are hollowed out anteriorly for the reception of the preemaxillary processes. In C. guttulatum and C. octofasciatum these are compara- tively short and the supraoccipital crest extends forward nearly to the level of the anterior margins of the orbits. In C. tetracanthus and C. Salvini the premaxillary processes are longer and the supraoccipital crest terminates above the middle of the orbits. The parietal crests are well developed and extend forward to above the middle of the orbits. The pelvic bones do not diverge anteriorly. In C. tetracanthus the lower pharyngeals are strongly developed, they are firmly united by a very sinuous suture, and bear large obtuse teeth; the fourth vertebra bears a moderately developed inferior apophysis. In the other three species the suture between the lower pharyngeals is straight, the teeth are pointed, whilst the inferior apophysis is feeble or wanting.
The genus Cichlosoma stands in the same relation to Acara that the African Lamprologus does to Paratilapia, and, as far as external characters are concerned, it is more difficult to distinguish between Cichlosoma and Lamprologus than between Acara and Paratilapia. C. Dovii, for example, presents considerable similarity to L. congolensis in general form, structure of the fins, structure of the mouth, dentition, &e. The most notable difference is that in Lamprologus the scales on the cheeks and opercular bones are usually
American Cichlid Genus Cichlosoma. 63
deciduous or wanting and the scales on the upper surface of the head and of the anterior part of the body and on the lower part of the abdomen are very small, which is not the case in Cichlosoma. A comparison of the skeletons shows that the African genus is distinguished by certain features of specialization, such as the low occipital crest, the absent parietal crests, the attachment of the ribs near the free ends of the parapophyses, and the anterior divergence of the pelvic bones.
A natural arrangement of the numerous species of this genus is a matter of considerable difficulty. I have tried to group the species according to their relationships and at the same time to so define the various sections that they may be mutually exclusive.

In the more generalized forms the teeth of the outer series in both jaws rather small, scarcely increasing in size ante- riorly. In more specialized forms the teeth of the outer series stronger, regularly and distinctly increasing in size anteriorly. Sometimes the anterior 3 to 6 teeth on each side in the lower jaw enlarged, subequal and rather sharply differentiated from the smaller lateral teeth. In 3 very specialized species (with exceptionally thick lips) the anterior pair of teeth im the upper jaw very strong, the anterior 2
pairs in the lower jaw strongly enlarged, subequal. 5x
68 Mr. C. T. Regan on the Fishes of the
Section 1 (Cichlosoma).
Body ovate ; scales of lateral line of the same size as those above and below it; scales of thoracic region scarcely smaller than those on the side of the body. Mouth rather small, moderately protractile; maxillary not exposed; teeth of the outer series rather small, scarcely increasing in size anteriorly. Dorsal X1V-XVI 9-11, the soft fin scaly at the base.

The single species, from South America, is undoubtedly closely allied to Acara portalegrensis. On the other hand, it shows clear affinities with Cichlosoma facetum and its allies.

78 Canon A. M. Norman—Revised Nomenclature of
VIII.—Revised Nomenclature of the Species described in Bate and Westwood’s ‘ British Sessile-eyed Crustacea. By Canon A. M. Norman, M.A., D.C.L., LL.D., F.R.S.
THE work of Bate and Westwood from the first presented great difficulties to the student of the Amphipoda and [sopoda in consequence of the unsatisfactory figures and inadequate descriptions of many of the species. Moreover, with in- creasing knowledge of these Crustacea extensive changes in nomenclature have become necessary. Hence there lies a heavy stumbling-block in the way of any carcinologist who commences the study of the species represented in our fauna, and only an adequate knowledge of all that during recent years has been written on the subject can at the present time enable the species described in this work to be correctly named.
The object of the present paper is to remove, at any rate partially, this difficulty and bring the nomenclature of Bate and Westwood into juxtaposition with the names which are now employed for the several species. I have, of course, availed myself of all that has been written on the subject by carcinologists, such as the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing, Mr. A. O. Walker, and others in our own country, and by Professor G. O. Sars and M. Chevreux and others on the Continent, and I trust that I shall moreover be able to throw fresh light on the relationship of certain species which have hitherto not received full elucidation.
There have been very large additions to our knowledge of the species of these two orders which inhabit our seas during recent years, but with such additions these notes have nothing to do.
One new genus is here introduced—Coremapus (kopnpa, a brush, and zrovs, a foot). Allied to Microdeutopus ; first gnathopods the largest, complexly subchelate in male and simply subchelate in female as in that genus, but the second gnathopods in both sexes narrow, scarcely subchelate, terminating in a minute nail, the limb forming a brush, the meros, carpus, and manus being densely setose, especially the meros, which is much produced over the carpus. ‘Type, Coremapus (Microdeutopus) versiculatus, Bate.
In the earlier part of this paper the species are taken in the order in which they are arranged in our authors’ work; the nomenclature, where necessary, is corrected and a number prefixed.
In the latter part the species with their corrected names
Crustacea described by Bate and Westwood. 79
are arranged as in the existing leading works upon the subject, those of Professor G. O. Sars, and the affixed number is that under which the species occurs in the previously given
list.

* T have examined the types of the genera Podocerus and Jassa in the British Museum, and fully confirm what Messrs. Stebbing and Walker have written upon them, that Podocerus variegatus, Leach (as interpreted by Milne-Edwards’s figure in ‘Régne Animal de Cuvier,’ but not P. variegatus, B, & W.), is Platophium Darwinii, and that Jassa pelagica, Leach (but not of B. & W.), is the same as Podocerus capillatus, B. & W. Bruzelius long ago restricted the use of Jassa to the species last men- tioned, which has only a rudimentary appendage (scarcely visible with a high power) to the antennules. This use must be maintained, and not Parajassa as suggested by Stebbing. I have therefore found it necessary to institute a genus Bruzeliella, with B. falcata, Montagu, as its type.
