Important conclusions may be drawn from this list, but they are referred to another chapter. The Jersey catalogue, both of butterflies and moths, has been supplied by Mr. Johnson; but many additions are made on the authority of Mr. Piquet. The Guernsey list of butterflies was given by Dr. Lukis and Miss Wilkinson. The list of moths by Miss Wilkinson. The lepidoptera of Alderney and Sark, when collected, have not been kept separate from those found in the other islands. On the whole the butterflies are comparatively few, and are not remarkable for beauty or size in either of the islands. The moths are more numerous, and some are fine. That rare and splendid species, the death's-head hawk-moth, is more common in all the islands than in England. The following lists of the remaining families of insects are confessedly very imperfect. The specimens were named by Mr. Walker, and obtained in Jersey by Mr. Piquet. There are some curious and rare species, but the catalogue is too incomplete to justify any general remarks. No list has been obtained for any of the islands, except Jersey. Hemiptera. ACANTHOSOMA EURIGASTER mamus. stagnorum. ICHIRUS moris. NOTONECTA glauca. PENTASOMA baccarum. lyrix. SCIOCORIS umbrinus.

It will probably be greatly added to before long, as the subject has lately attracted attention. Many other species are known to exist in the rocks and cliffs, but the names are not yet determined. SPIDERS AND BARNACLES. 231 Of these spiders several are rare in England, and some are very beautiful, especially eresus cinnabarinus. Classed among the spiders are some curious marine animals, resembling mites, generally parasitic, and an aquatic group, common in fresh water in England. Though not yet found, they may be looked for in the islands with every probability of success. The curious shells belonging to this class of animals are referred to two groups, of one of which the balanus, or acorn shell, is the type, while of the other, the lepas or barnacle is an example. Both have representatives in the Channel Island waters. The former are readily distinguished by their solid attachment without any stalk, whereas the latter possess shelly valves at the extremity of a flexible tube. In their early development these animals so closely resemble some of the crustaceans, that they are regarded by some naturalists as forming a subdivision of that group. The species named in the above list were noticed by Mrs. Collings, who has communicated so much information concerning the natural history of the islands. The cut represents a zoophyte, common enough among the sea-weed left on the shore by the retiring tide, attached to a species of barnacle occasionally found in Guernsey.

Under the name Stalk-eyed Crustaceans, are included most of the larger species of the tribe. They are well characterised, by the possession of eyes placed at the end of a horny tube projecting from the head. They form the best known and most easily recognised of all the crustaceans, and are abundant all round the coast of the British islands. The rocky shores of the Channel Islands afford innumerable convenient hiding places for crustaceans, and these animals consequently abound in number, and are very varied in species. The large shore crab (cancer pagurus) attains large size, and is a very profitable animal to the shore fishermen, the supply to the market being regular, and the consumption large. Very fine individuals are often obtained. The spider crab, and swimming or velvet crab, are also eaten, and are abundant at certain seasons. The smaller crabs, although they are plentiful, are not seen in |
