REPORT ON THE AMPHIPODA. 317 



The rest lived on for a considerable time, the last not dying till November 24th, 1S86. 

 The water in which they were at first placed came from their native well, and contained a 

 very little sediment. Every four days a small portion was poured away and replenished 

 with water from the town waterworks.

In the list of Crustacea Amphipoda, Professor Kinahan avails himself of a list of William 

 Thompson's collection furnished him by Spence Eate. Twenty-eight names of species are 

 given, among them being Orchestia Ixvis and Orchestia deshayesii (Savigny). Gammarus 

 fiuviatilis is mentioned and distinguished from Gammarus pulex, but the proper use of the 

 names is evidently inverted. " Hyxjeria Galba" vfas found "in thousands in Acalephfe, 

 floating through the Bay." The next entry is " Lesirigojius FabricH (?). — This occurred 

 with the last, but in fewer numbers. It is singular that in the supplement to Parry's 

 ' Voyage,' this is figured as having occurred also along with the last. Can there be any 

 intimate connexion, such as sexual, between them? I find some trifling differences between 

 my specimens and L. Fabricii (MLlne-Edwards), but await my friend Spence Bate's 

 judgment on the point. I strongly suspect that Gosse has mistaken this animal for 

 Metoicus medusarum, the distinction between the genera being such as to easily cause a 

 mistake. This is doubtless the species "W. Thompson failed to identify, owing to the bad 

 condition of his specimens." The name borrowed from Milne-Edwards should no doubt 

 have been " Lestrigonus Fabreii," not " Lestrigonus Fabricii."

Grammarus is obviously in error (maintained throughout the paper), for Gammarits. The 

 parasites found by Lachmann in the intestine (Darm) of the well-shrimp, are said to belong 

 to the pu2zling group of the Gregarines.
