 Harnkanalchen sufficiently indicate Grobben's own opinion that the gland in question has 

 a renal function.

Haller saj's that he gave the name Caiyrella gigantea to a new species from the North Sea, which 

 he here describes and figures, on account of its great length, 30 mm., before he was aware 

 that Hoek had observed a specimeii»-of Caprella linearis 26 mm. long. He likewise 

 describes and figures the male and female of Caprella dentata, n. s., from Ischia. 



He refers to " MittheHungen der schweiz. entomolog. Gosellschaft. No. 10. Jahrgang 1880. 

 pag. 671 nebst Tafel," for a preliminary notice of Capreila gigantea.

The new species described and figured are Talitrus sylvaticus; Tdlorehestia diemenensis ; 

 "Orchestia Macleayana;" Allorchestes rupicol(f; AUorchestes longicornis; AUorchestes crassi- 

 cornis; Stegocephahis latus; Amaryllis macrophthalmus ; Amaryllis hrevinornis, evidently 

 the same as Amaryllis inacroplithalmus ; Neohule algicola; Lysianassa nitens; Lysianassa 

 affinis, not distinguishable from Lysianassa nitens ; Glycera tenuicornis; Ampelisca 

 aiistralis; Plioxus villosus ; " Phoxus Batei ;" Pherusa leevis ; Leucothoe commensalis ; 

 Leucoihoe diemenensis; LeiicotlwH gracilis, recognised later, together with Leucothoe 

 diemenensis, as falling under Leucothoe commensalis ; Melita australis ; " Melita (?) 

 Ramsayi," afterwards transferred to Mcera ruhromaculata, Stimpson ; " Megamwra 

 Mastersii;" Megamcera diemenensis; McBra spinosa, afterwards identified with Mcera 

 ruhromaculata, Stimpson ; Amphithoe cinerea, to which jirobably the two described but 

 unfigured species, Amjjhithoe grandimanus and Ampldthoi' setosa, must be united; Micro- 

 deuteropus aiistralis; Xenocheira fusciata ; Haplocheira typica, probably the same as 

 Haploclieira harhimanus, Thomson, sp. ; Cyrtopihium parasiticum ; Lcilius australis ; " Proto 

 Novx-Hollaiulix" ; Protella australis; Caprella tenuis, a species since relinquished by its 

 author. Besides these, Talorchestia quadrimana and Mcera ruhromaetdata are described 

 and figured as synonyms respectively of Orchestia quadrimana, Dana, and Gammariis 

 rahro-maculcdus, Stimpson. 



In this group are included five new genera; in the family Gammaridae, subfamily Stego- 

 cephalides, the genus Amaryllis, thus defined :— 



" Superior antennae with a well- developed appendage. Mandibles with a palp. Maxillipedes 

 with well-developed squamiform plates. Anterior gnathopoda sub-pediform. Posterior 

 gnathopoda imperfectly subchelate. Eami of the fourth" and fifth pleopoda styUform ; 

 those of sixth pair broad-lanceolate. Telson squamiform, cleft." This genus differs from 

 Stegocephahis by the possession of a mandibular palp, and cannot, I think, for that and 

 other reasons, stand in the same subfamily with it. 



The genus Neohule is thus defined ; — " Superior antennae simple. Mandibles without an
