This work contains a full and clear account of the organisation and development of the Amphi- 

 poda, compiled from all the best authorities, and illustrated by figures given in facsimile 

 from the original works. There is an introductory account of the history of the subject, 

 and a list of authors in a chronological order determined by their first publications about 

 the Amphipoda. 



In most cases names of genera and species have been accepted from authors without criticism, 

 it not being within the plan of the work to rectify minor details of classification. The 

 transfer, however, of the Tanaidae to the Amphipoda is made without reserve. See further,

In the " Description des Faunes," the occurrence of Gammarus locusfa in several localities is 

 recorded, and of other well-known Amphipods at diflFerent points. In the "zone emergee," 

 of the littoral zone, it is noticed that Gammarus mariniis wears "une livree brunatre, 

 parfaitement en rapport avec la teinte des debris decomposes de zosteres. Souvent, lorsque 

 la vague accumule des debris d'algues vertes (Ulves et conferves), ces Crustaces changent, par 

 mimetisme, de coloration" (p. 42). In the "zone littorale immergee a 2 mi^tres," " Melita 

 palmafa et Nicea nudicornis ne sont pas rares," under stones scarcely covered by the waves, 

 and Gammarella hrevicaudafa among AlgiB (pp. 46, 47). In the "Faune littorale immergee 

 (0 a 2 metres), dans la region des eaux vives," " les Edriophthalmes des algues encrofltes
