It is stated that the Amphipods have been identified by Professor S. I. Smith. They are 

 named as follows on pages 120, 121; " Orchestia agilis Smith"; " Talorchestia longicornis 

 (Say) Smith"; " Talorchestia megalopthalma (Bate) Smith"; " Hi/ale littoralis (Stirnp.) 

 Smith"; " Calliopius Ixviuscidus (Kroy.) Boeck"; " Gammarus locusta (Linne) Fabr.,' 

 with a reference to "Gould, Inv. Mass., ed. I. p. 334, 1841," and the synonym " G. ornatus 

 Edwards, Ann. des Sci. Nat., tome xx. p. 367, 1830"; "Gammarus annulatus Smith"; 

 " Gammarus mucronatus Say " ; " Mwra levis Smith " ; " Microdeutopus grandimanus 

 Smith," with the synonyms " Autonoe grandimana Bruz., Skand. Amphip. Gamm., p. 26, 

 1859. — Microdeutopus minax Smith, Inv. V. S., p. 562, 1874"; " Amphithoe longimaim 

 Smith"; " Corophium cyUndricum (Say) Smith"; " Chelura terebrans Philippi"; 

 " Caprella geometrica Say." A few short notes are given in regard to localities, and the 

 statement is made that "a comparison of European with American specimens has enabled 

 Professor Smith to establish the identity of G. ornatus and G. locusta." Autonoe grandi- 

 mana, Bruzelius, had been already named Microdeutopus grandimanus by Spence Bate, 

 Brit. Mus. Catal. Amph. Crust., p. 378.

A discussion on the genus Orchestia leads up to the conclusion that the New Zealand species of 

 that genus thus far known are only five, Orchestia aucMandis, Sp. Bate, Orchestia telluris, 

 Sp. Bate, Orchestia chilensis, M.-Edw., Orchestia semdata, Dana, and Orchestia sylvicola, 

 Dana. The last species is regarded as including Orchestia novas-zealandix, Sp. Bate, and 

 Orchestia tenuis, Dana. The terminal part of a second gnathopod is figured. From the 

 examination of 163 specimens, Mr. Thomson is " strongly- of opinion that they all 

 belong to one variable species, the males of which have at least two forms of gnathopoda, 

 and the females of which differ considerably in those very characters which have hitherto 

 had specific importance attached to them." It is "a strictly terrestrial form." 



The other species discussed in this paper have been already mentioned in the Notes on 

 Thomson, 1879 (p. 500) and 1880 (p. 524). 



On Plate vii., fig. 5a. is the head, 5b. a gnathopod, of Amphilochus squamosus, Thomson ; fig. 6. 

 is Amphithonotus levis, Thomson. On Plate viii., fig. 7a. represents the antennae, 7b. a 

 mandible, 7c. the telson and third uropods of " Microdeutopus maculatus," Thomson; 

 fig. 8. is " Oyrtophium cristatum," Thomson; fig. 9. is "■Corophium contraction, 

 Stimpson."
