Abstract
IN Prof. Mayer's recent work on the Caprellidæ (“Fauna u. Flora des Golfes Neapal”) there is a species figured and described as Podalirius minutus, in which the anterior of the three posterior pairs of thoracic appendages are very minute, contain only two joints, and are attached about midway between the two ends of the segment which bears them. With this marked exception this species agrees very closely on all points with Caprella lobata and C. linearis. My object in drawing attention to it is to ascertain if it has been recorded as a member of the British fauna.
