name of Lysianassina." On 45, Epimeria tricristata, A. Costa, the observation is made 

 that it is very close to Acanihonofus owenii, Bate and Westwood, so that at first sight 

 they might be thought the same, but that specifically they differ much in the length of the 

 antenna! and the hands of the second gnathopods. Nor does Costa admit the propriety 

 of placing the species in the genus Acantlwnotibs. Boeck, who has not apparently seen 

 this paper, makes both names synonyms to Epiineria cornigera, Fabricius. As to 47, 

 Oammarus longicaudatus, A. Costa, and 48, Gammarus montanus, A. Costa, it is 

 recognised that these two fresh-water species, of which the first is identified by Bate and 

 "Westwood with Niphargus aquilex, Schi0dte, may be only varieties of one and the same 

 species. 49. Guemiia nicseensis, A. Costa, is figured. In regard to 51, Microdeitfopus 

 gryUotalpia, A. Costa, the form of the carpus of the first gnathopods is said not to be 

 accurately given in the figure of the species by Bate and Westwood. As a matter of fact, 

 their figure probably represents a difierent species. Costa further observes that the carpus 

 of his species is found to vary in regard to the number and proportions of teeth on its 

 lower margin. 59 is Caprella gigas, A. Costa, from the Bay of Naples, undescribed. 54 

 is Orin zandeus, Prest. 55, Cheiropristis messanensis, Cocco. 56, Omitliorhamphvs 

 coccoi, De Nat. 57, Carcinococciis costx, De Nat. (not an Amphipod).

The list of the Amphipods which Dr. Marcusen had obtained is given as follows : — " Talitrus

 species, with figures, is promised for a later opportunity. The question is discussed 

 whether the Black Sea should be reckoned as part of the Mediterranean, a question wliich 

 C. HeUer answers in the affirmative. Of Amphipoda, it is said that there are in the 

 Black Sea representatives of almost all families, among them species not as yet found in
