The original specimens of this species were forwardedto Dr. Leach from Fahnouth (Cornwall), by Cranch. They have afforded the materials for ourfigure and description, and we have dredged a specimen,near the Knapbuoy, outside the Plymouth Breakwater,in about six fathoms of water. We have also received itfrom Mr. D. Robertson, of Glasgow, taken at Cumbrae. The accompanying vignette of Dutch fishing boats isfrom a painting in the possession of J. Thackeray, Esq.,of Amo Vale, DUTCH FISHING BOATS. CIROLANA SPINIPES. ISOPODA. NORMALIA. 299JEQIBJE.
