EEPORT ON THE AMPHIPODA. 459 



postabdominis in margine postico non serrato ;" 117. AmphUhopsis piulchella, "A. latipedi 

 M. Sars affinis sed diversa segmeiitis postabdominis non carinatis nee spinosis, antennis 

 superioribus longioribus, podibus angustioribus ; " 119. Moira tenella, a name preoccupied 

 by Spence Bate for the still smaller Gammarus tenellus of Dana, and since changed to Moera 

 tenera ; 134. DulicMa Jdrticornis. 131. Glaucnnome planipes, Norm.? is given, with the 

 following notice, " ' Unciola planipes, Norman, Rejaort of deep-sea dredging off the coast 

 of Northumberland and Durham,' pg. 3, PI. VIII. fig. 9-15. — Speciraina observata a forma 

 typica difierunt manu pedum 2'*' paris elongato-quadrangulari carpi longitudinem sequante 

 adqve apicem fere ad lineam rectaiu truncata, antennis inferioribus maris structura valde 

 singulari, articulo pedunculi penultimo et antepenultimo insolito mode dilatatis et com- 

 planatis articulationem mobilissimam inter se formantibus." This, in 1879, is given as a 

 distinct species, Glauconome petalocera, and in 1885 is renamed Unciola petalor.era. 

 137. " Caprella Iwrrida, n. sp. ( = CapreIla spinosissima Norman, non Stimpson) " has been 

 already mentioned in the Notes on Stimpson, 1854, and Wyville Thomson, 1873. It is 

 clearly not an yEgina, since Sars expressly describes it as having " Mandibulfe palpo 

 carentes." In 1885 he names it Caprella spinosisdma, Norman. For his reasons see 

 Note on his work of that date. 



1876. Smith, Sidney I. 



Contributions to the Natural History of Kerguelen Island, made in connection 

 with the United States Transit-of- Venus Expedition, 1874-75. By J. H. Kidder, 

 M.D. Washington, 1876. Crustaceans. Described by S. I. Smith, pp. 57-64. 



The Amphipoda include Hijale villosa, n. s.; Lysianassa kidderi, n. s., in which "the antennulse, 

 mandibles, second maxilte, maxiUipeds, and posterior uropods are more like some of the 

 species of Orchomene than they are like the species of Lysianassa, as described and figured 

 by Boeck, and the characters assigned to Lysianassa by this author would require consider- 

 able modification to admit our species." Lysianassa kergueleni, Miers, " is quite a different 

 species, and not a Lysianassa," having the first gnathopods subchelate. Lastly, Professor 

 Smith describes " Atylus (?) australis, Miers ('!)," with references to ? Paranuera australis, 

 Miers, and ? Atylus australis, Miers. Dr. Kidder's specimens have " minute secondary 

 flageUa upon the antennulae." "This sp)ecies cannot be referred to the gomis Atylus as 

 restricted by Boeck." It will be discussed among those brought home by the Challenger. 



1876. Stebbikg, T. E. E. 



Description of a new species of Sessile-eyed Crustacean, and other notices. The 

 Annals and Magazine of Natural History for January 1876. Ser. 4. Vol. XVH. 

 PL IV., V. pp. 73-80. 



The species here figured and described as new, under the name Microdeuteropus hidentatus, is 

 probably at most not more than a variety of Autonoe longipes, Lilljeborg. Notes are made 

 upon Acidostoma ohesurn, Lillj.; Kroyera arenaria, Sp. Bate; Lilljehm-gia nonnanni, 

 which is a synonym of Cheirocratus sundevalli, Eathke ; Mdita gladiosa, Sp. Bate; Proto 

 goodsiri, Sp. Bate. It is remarked that the last species possesses two pairs of styliform 

 appendages of the pleon, not a single pair as Spence Bate had stated. It is further 

 suggested that Proto goodsiri is a form of Proto pedata, Leach. This suggestion is 

 confirmed by Mayer, who unites them as synonyms of Proto ventricosa, 0. F. M.
