Lists are here given both of the literature of the subject and of the species of animals. The 

 Amphipoda are enumerated at page 126. They are named as follows : — Afijlus australis, 

 Miers; Atijlus, n. s.; " Anonijx Kergueleni," Miers ; " Lijdanassa Kidderi," Smith; 

 Hyale villosa. Smith; Leucothoe sp.?; Podocerus ornatus, Miers. 



In the " Vertheilung der Meeresthiere," I notice also, at p. 136, among Crustacea, "Eusirus? 

 150 Faden Sandschlamm." Atylis australis, Miers, is noted as approaching Atijlus 

 fissicauda, Dana, from Valparaiso.

Of " Talitrus 1 novx-zealajidix, Dana {Orchedoidea ? novi-zealandix)," Mr. Thomson remarks, 

 " This species is certainly the female of Talorchestia quoyana," M.-Ed"W. " The males of 

 the Talitrus, and the females of the Talorchestia, have never yet been described as such." 

 The new species described are Nicea nova-zealandix ; Nicea fiiuhriata ; Nicea rubra; 

 Dexaviine pacifica ; Atylus danai; Pherusa novx-zealandix; Calliope didactyla; Calliope 

 fluviatilis ; Gammarus harhimamis ; Plafyscelu-s interinefliic!<, with the remark appended, 

 " I have named this species as above, from the fact that it is almost intermediate between 

 the only two species hitherto described — P. rissoinx. Bate, and P. serratus, Bate " ; CapreUa 

 caudafa, recorded by Mayer as a near relation, if not a local variety, of Ciqirella acquilihra. 

 Say ; CaprelUna novx-zealundix, according to Mayer identical with CapreUa lowjicollis, 

 Nicolet, the genus only, not the species, being new. 



CaprelUna, new genus, is thus defined : — " Body cylindrical. Cephalon confluent with first 

 segment of pereion. Pleon rudimentary. Gnathopoda subchelate; branchia3 attached to 

 second pair. First two pairs of pereiopoda represented by the branchiae attached to their 

 respective segments ; third pair feebly developed ; two posterior pairs well developed, 

 subequal. First and second pairs of pleopoda rudimentary in the male, rest obsolete." * 



" This genus appears to be intermediate between Ce^'cops and Caprella. From the former, it 

 differs in not having the pleopoda developed, but agrees with it in having branchias attached 

 to the second gnathopoda. In respect to this latter character it differs from its nearer ally 

 Caprella, and also in having the third pair of pereiopoda feebly developed." ISIayer, 

 instead of placing the genus between Cercops and Cap)reUa, sets it next to Proto, in common
