] 00 GAMMARID M. 



The antepenultimate pair have the branches shorter than 

 their peduncles ; those of the penultimate and ultimate 

 are longer ; especially the latter, on the outer branch 

 of which there is an articulation near the apex. The 

 caudal plate is almost round, divided at the apex to 

 more than half the depth of the plate, where the division 

 is broader than at the apex, thus giving the plate the 

 appearance of being bilobed. 



This species affords an example of the near approxi- 

 mation of Anonyx and Lysianassa. The first pair of 

 hands have the palm scarcely distinguishable from the 

 line of the inferior margin, against which the curved 

 finger impinges when closed. 



Having stated that this specimen was sent to us in 

 spirits, we would here mention that we find, for a limited 

 period (some months at least), specimens preserved in 

 glycerine keep all the colour and transparency of living 

 animals. 



This species was sent to us by Mr. Edward, of Banff, 

 who took it in the Moray Frith.
