REPORT ON THE AMPHIPODA. j)57 



description which follows, however, Schneider describes the finger of the gnathopods as oval, 

 which will not suit Pardalisea ahyssi, Boeok. He then speaks of the finger being two- 

 jointed, inasmuch as it possesses a curved nail, which is obviously movable, thus making 

 the number of joints to the limb in all seven. It may however be questioned whether this 

 nail is anything more than a (possibly) movable spine. Were Buchholz and Schneider both 

 right in their views as to the gnathopods of Pardalisea cuspidata, these limbs would have 

 eight joints instead of the usual six. 



A single damaged example of a Mel2)hidi2J2M is referred provisionally to Melphidippa horealis, 

 Boeck. Figures (Tab. V.) and as full a description as circumstances would permit are given 

 of it. 



In the account of Amiwlisca eschrichtii, Kr0yer, notice is taken of the spine-bearing incision in 

 the side of the outer branch of the second uropods, and the author remarks that he has 

 found this peculiarity also in several species of Onesimus, Trypliosa, Socames and Anoni/x. 

 It occurs also Ln Ichnopus. The objection to Boeck's description of Hippomedon ]wlb0i, 

 Kr0yer, that it makes the hand of the first gnathopod longer than the wrist, instead of the 

 reverse, does not apply to the Latin account, and the error is evidently due only to the 

 accidental omission of a word in the printing.

He records the capture of Eurytenes gryllus, Mandt, over 4J inches long, in deep water off the 

 middle Atlantic Coast of the United States, thus explaining the apparent anomaly of " its 

 occurrence in the extreme arctic and antarctic seas " discussed by Lilljeborg.

Andania pecUnata, Sars, 1882, is described and figured (Taf. 7, figs. 1-12). Of the four 

 characters by which Boeck distinguishes Andania from Stcr/ocepjliahis, Aurivillius observes 

 that this species has only two. In regard to the two-jointed palp of the first maxillae, and 

 the undivided telson, it agrees with Boeck's description of Andania, but in regard to 

 the mandil)les and the palp of the second maxillte it agrees with Sfcgocephalus. Unless a 

 new genus were formed to receive it, Aurivillius inclines to leave it in the genus Anda7iia, 

 but its mandibles, in my opinion, decisively separate it from Andania, and assign it at any 

 rate provisionally to Sfer/ocephalus. 



Variations are noticed in specimens of " Aristias tumidtis Kr0yer," from different localities.
