The Crustacea in question were "picked up either at Mauritius or on the way thither." He first 

 describes : — 



" Anisopus dubius. PL XX. fig. 1. Greeni.sb, dotted over with reddish-brown specks. Head 

 large, subquadrangular, carrying 4 antenna;, the superior nearly as long as the body, and 

 exceeding in length by about one-fifth part the inferior ; the 1st joint is minute, the 2nd 

 large and thick, the 3rd elongate, nearly cylindric, and wanting the little process which 

 characterizes the true Gammari, 4th joint multiarticulate, tapering. The inferior antenna 

 has the 2nd and 3rd joints, subequal, much longer than any of those of the superior, and 

 the remaining similar, but of smaller dimensions. Both anteiuise are spiny or hairy. The 

 thoracic rings are narrow, and extend inferiorly into plates concealing the upper part of the 

 5 anterior pairs of legs. Those of the abdomen are much larger and end in a 4-articulated 

 tail, with a jointed stylet on each side proceeding from the inferior posterior angle of the 

 idtimate and penultimate articulations. The first pair of legs is extremely minute and 

 terminates in a simple claw, the 2nd much longer, as are the 3 succeeding pairs, and ter- 

 minates in joints slightly dilated, the last carrying a tolerably strong curved claw. The 3rd 

 pair has the last joint very much dilated, subtriangular, not toothed, but bearing a very 

 strong curved claw ; the posterior edge is waved and hairy. The 2 succeeding pairs of 

 legs resemble the 1st pair except in their greater size ; but the 6th and 7th pairs, of nearly 

 equal dimensions, exceed all the anterior legs in being both much longer and much more 

 robust, and besides differ in having the coxae very much dilated, and the last joint of each
