In the order Aniphipoda he mentions tho following : — " 6. Orchei^fia, (sp.), Bangor, Co. Down, 

 1835, W. T.; distinct from 0. li/ton-a." " 7. Amphithoe fucicola. Leach (sp.)," with a 

 reference to P/ie7-?<,'ja /i(«co/a. Leach. "8. Amphithoe rubricata, Mont, (sp.)." "9. Amphi- 

 thoe, sp. Bangor, Co. Down, 183.5, W. T. ; distinct from the preceding and A. ohtti^ata, on 

 comparison with the specimens in the British Museum." " 10. Gammarus marinus. Leach." 

 "11. Gammarus caiiqjijlops, T,ea,ch." "12. Gammarus longimanus. Leach (sp.). Mxra 

 lomjimana, Leach MSS." " 13. Gammarus imndatus, Johnst. Zool. Journ. vol. iii. pp. 

 177, 490. I found in a case formed by itself among the branches of Coral! inu oficirialis 

 growing in pools between tide-marks at Springvale, Co. Down, in July 1846. The species 

 was determined by comparison of mine with those from Berwick presented by Dr. Johntson 

 to the British Museum." "14. Opis fi/jnca, Kroyev." "1,5. /l?jo?(//.'j (Kroyer) sp." It is 

 distinct, he says, from the species described by KrOyer, and " although a proper description 

 cannot (on account of the state of my eyes) be drawn up, some idea may be given of this 

 Anonijx — (which is well worthy of the name of elegans) — by the following note : — length 

 of body 6 lines ; of upper antennae 1 line ; of lower antennie 4 hnes ; general colour yellow- 

 ish pink ; eyes red ; lateral or abdominal plates adorned with scarlet stellate markings, 

 of which there are five or six on those nearest the head ; they become gradually fewer on 

 those towards the tail, so that not more than one appears on the hinder plates. These 

 markings render it very beautiful. My Anonijx is distinct from a British species (locality 

 unknown) in the collection of the Briti.sh Museum." "16. Ammyx, genus?, or rather a 

 form between it and Sfegocephalus, Kroyer, was dredged from a depth of twenty-three 

 fathoms (shelly sand) in Belfast Bay in Oct. 1846 by Mr. Hyndman." "17. Ccrapus 

 falcatus, Mont, (sp.), Linn. Trans, vol. ix. t. 5. f. 2. Jassa pelagiea. Leach." "18. 

 Hj/peria galba, Mont, (sp.)." "19. Hi/peria LaireiUii, Edw." "20. Lestrigomis, sp." 



In the "Order La?modipoda" ho mentions "21. ' CapreUa Johata, Miill.,' Kr0yer, Voy. Scand. 

 et Lapon. Crust, pi. 25. f. 3at, dredged Oct. 1839." The note t says, " 3Z/ presents a very 

 different form, but is considered a variety only." " 22. CapreUa tuhercnJata, Goodsir, Edin. 

 New Phil. Journ. vol. xxxiii. p. 188, pi. 3. f. 6. specimens taken with the last. Guerin in 

 his Iconographie, &c. pi. 28. f. 1. represents a species which he calls by this name; it is 

 from the Mauritius (Texte Descrip. Crust, p. 24)." "23. Caprrella acum.inifera, Leach." 

 "24. jEgina? hmgispina, Kroyer, Voy. Scand. ifec. Crust, pi. 19. f. 3. (described in 

 Kroyer's ' Naturhist. Tidssk.' 1st binde, 5th hwfte, 1845, p. 476). A single individual of 

 this very fine, largo and spinous form was taken with the two first-noticed CapreUa'. My 

 specimen differs only from that represented by Kroyer in having one or two more spines 

 retraUy on the body ; it is wholly red like his, and has retained this colour in spirits to 

 the present time. Goodsir's CapreUa spinosa (Edin. New Phil. Journ. vol. xxxiii. p. 187. 

 pi. 3. f. 1) approaches very near to this .species, if it be not the same ; it is described as 

 ' having the whole body of a pale white colour.' "
