AMPHIPODA. CHILTON.

excavation of the palm at right angles to the hind margin 

 of the sixth joint," and as this seems to agree with the 

 "Endeavour" specimens I venture to make the identifica- 

 tion. In order to complete the description I give figures 

 of the peduncles of the antennae (Fig. 15 a and &) and of 

 the gnathopods (Fig. 15 c and d) from which the .structure 

 can be learnt without further detailed description. 



I have some specimens of an Ampithoe from Norfolk 

 Island which I had previously thought probably belonged 

 to A. flindersi, but in them the carpus of the first gnathopod 

 is very much longer than in the present specimen, being 

 longer than the propod, and possibly the Norfolk Island 

 specimens should be placed in a separate species. The 

 "Challenger" specimens were from Flinders Passage in 

 Torres Strait, and those of the "Thetis" from off Wata 

 Mooli. N.S.W.
