The Bibliography extends from the year 1524 to the year 1868, occupying the first part of the 

 work. The second part, pages 283 to the end, is concerned with the fifty-four species 

 mentioned in the title. The "Edriottalmi amfipodi" are described on pages 330-332. 

 First Nardo gives " Sp. 46.) Orchestia littoeea ? Leach. Cancer locusta, L., Chier., sp. 

 58, fig. 74. — Volg. Saletto defosso," with a note to the effect that, since his work in 1847, 

 lie had noticed characters which seemed to distinguish this species from Orchestia littorea. 

 Fig. 9, on pi. XV., purporting to be copied from Chiereghin, negatives all idea of an 

 Orchestia, the upper antennas, though shorter than the lower, being far too long for that 

 genus. The proportions of the antenn;e, coupled with the large rami of the third uropods, 

 would point rather to some genus like Cheirocratus, Norman. 



Nardo next gives " Sp. 47.) LysianassaI Cancer salecfus, Chier., sp. 59, fig. 75. — 



Volg. Saletto de war." He repeats the Latin description quoted in 1847, and adds an 

 Italian quotation, "L'esterna superficie di tutto il corpo, aggiunge, rilevasi liscia e tutta 

 seminata di piccole macchietto di color rosso sopra un foado biancastro, ed ha sul margine 

 superiors tanto del quinto che del sesto pezzo delle articolazioni del tronco caudale, un paro 

 per cadaun pezzo di lunghetti, sottili ed avvicinati pungiglioni, rivolti verso la parte 

 posteriore. Abita il nostro golfo ne'siti fangosi. Nou serve ad alcun uso per essere 

 minutissimo, ed h difficile raccoglierne in qualche numero." The extreme minuteness of 

 the specimen leads Nardo to suspect that it had not attained its fuU development. 

 Chiereghin's figure is reproduced, pi. xv. fig. 8, with a line a tenth of an inch long to show 

 the natural size. The upper antennas are much shorter than the lower, but filiform,
