In a letter dated February 16, 1857, Mr. Spence Bate says "having liad an opportunity, since 

 the publication of the synopsis of the British Amphipoda, of comparing the necessary works 

 at the British Museum, I am enabled to make the following corrections and addenda : — 

 After 0. litforea read (Leach). After O. De-thayesu read (Savigny). Acanthonoius Oioenii 

 (mihi) is A. testudo of (Montagu). Tliersites (mihi) must yield to BatJiyporea (Lindstrom), 

 and probably the species B. Guilliamsonia is the pilosa of that naturalist. Leucotlioe 

 procera (mihi) is probably furina of Savigny ; and also the genus Dyopedos (mihi) is 

 DulicMa of Kroyer ; consequently the family Dyopedidx will for the future be changed to 

 DitlicMadse."

He here divides Talitrus " into two genera, as has been done by Nicolet and Stimpson," adopts 

 Orehestoidea, Nicolet, which is synonymous with Alegalm-ckestia, Stimpson, thus producing 

 the classification, Talitrus, Orehestoidea, Talorcliestia, Orchestia. " Lysianassa CJiausica 

 in the synopsis (not Edwards's) is evidently L. longieornis of Lucas (Exped. to Algiers)." 

 " The genus Tetromatus, mihi, Pseudophthahnus, Stimpson, is synonymous with Ampelisca 

 of Kroyer." Hence, he says, the subfamily Tetromatides should be re-named Ampeliscades. 

 Pontoporeides is given up as name of a subfamily, because Pontoporeia of Kroyer must go to 

 the " Lysiassides." Phoxides is proposed as subfamdy for Phoxus, etc. " Phoxus Kroyerii, 

 mihi, wiU be changed into P. simplex," the other name being pre-occupied. "After 

 P. HolbiJlU, read Kroyer instead of milii " in the synopsis. " The genus Lonchomerus is 

 evidently that of Lalasia of Lucas (Exped. to Algiers)." "There is to be added to the 

 genus Siphonocefus of Kroyer the species Cerapus Wliitei of Gosse ; this may probably be 

 synonymous with S. Kroyeranus, mihi." " Cyamus gracilis (Gosse) should have been 

 C. Thomsoni, Gosse." There are also two or three other notes about names of species.

This species is in my ojiinion but doubtfully distinct from Iphimedia obesa, Rathke, the 

 variations being perhaps only due to age or sex.

The introduction briefly reviews the progress of knowledge in regard to the Amphipoda since 

 1830, and gives an account of the results at which Costa bad himself arrived.
