In some of tlie lakes a Gammarid was met with, which strikingly reminded Dr. Asper of the 

 common Gammams pulex. The lake-form, however, was smaller and of a glassy 

 transparency. Specimens from depths of 140 and of 60 metres possessed beautiful organs 

 of vision, with clearly observed crystal-cones. At Wiidensweil, at a depth of 40 metres, 

 along with seeing forms were found blind specimens agreeing in the smallest detail with 

 " Niphargus Foreli" from the lake of Geneva. Specimens from Oberrieden Dr. Asper regards 

 as intermediate forms between Gammants pulex and the " Foreli " variety of Niphanius 

 puteanus.

The Arthrostraca (Amphipoda and Isopoda) occupy jsages 576-600. The Amphiijoda are 

 defined as " Ringelkrebse mit seitlich comprimirtem Leib und sieben (seltener sechs) freien 

 Thoracalsegmenten, mit Kiemen an den Brustfiisseu und langgestrecktem (ausnabmsweise 

 rudimentiirem) Abdomen, dessen drei vordere Segmente ebensoviel Schwimmfusspaare tragen, 

 wiihrend die drei hintern mit ebensoviel Paaren nach hinten gerichteter sog. Springfiisse 

 besetzt .sind." The first suborder Lajmodipoda has two families, 1. Caprellidse; 2. Cyamidre. 

 The second suborder, Crevettina, has five families, 1. DuHchiidse ; 2. Cheluridre; 

 3. Corophiidae, with two subfamilies, Corophiinaj and Podocerinse ; 4. Orchestiidse ; 

 5. Gammaridse, with seven subfamilies, Atylinas, Oedicerinw, Leucothoinre, Phoxinse, 

 Gammarinfc, LysianassinEe, Pontoporeina?. The third suborder, Hyperina, has four 

 families, 1 . Vibilidse ; 2. Hyperidae ; 3 Phronimidfe, with two subfamilies, Phrosininse, 

 and Phronimina3 : 4. PlatysceUdse, with five subfamilies, Typhinte, Scelinte, Phronoinse, 

 Lycceina3, Oxycephalinte. 

 Vibilia niediterranea, Claus, is retained. At page 605 it is said that " die iiltesten bis jetzt 

 bekaunt gewordenen fossilen Podoph thalmen sind langschwanzige Decapoden und 

 Schizopoden aus der Steinkohlen-formation (PaJeeocrangrm, Palxocarabus, Pijgocephalus)." 

 Palxocrawjon, however, is an Amphipod, but with a misleading name. See Note on von 

 Schauroth, 1854.

The Crustacea brought home from the " Willem Barents " expedition by Mr. W. J. A Grant, 

 were sent by Mr. D'Urban to the Kev. A. M. Norman and Professor J. 0. Westwood, and 

 the Amphipoda are named as follows " Anonyx nugax (Phippi:), Acanthonotosoma inflatum 

 (Kruijcr), Gammaracanthus loricatus (Sabine), Amphithoii lajviuscula. Bell 1, Acanthostephia 

 !Malmgreni (Goes), Tritropis HeUeri, Boeck, Unciola leucopos {Kri'njer), Hyperia cijaneee 

 (Sab.)." The dates, latitude and longitude, and depths, of the "finds " are given.
