gnathopod of the 1st pair was very greatly developed, that of 

 the left limb being small and different in shape. 



49. Calliojnns fluviatilis, mihi. 



This common fresh-water species has been found by Mr. 

 Chilton at Anderson's Bay, in Dunedin Harbour, in brackish or 

 nearly salt water, along with sea-anemones and other marine 

 forms. 



50. Calliojyms subterraneus, Chilton. 



I have received from Mr. W. W. Smith a specimen of this 

 interesting form taken from a well at Ashburton. 



52. Pherusa carulca, mihi. 



The preliminary description of this species occurs along 

 with that of Talorchcstia' tmnida in " Proc. Zool. Soc. London," 

 of 19th January, 1886, p. 5. Mr. Stebbing's full description 

 and figures are to be found in "Trans. Zool. Soc. London," 

 vol. xii., p. 206, pi. xxxix. 



54. Dcxamine x>acifica , mihi. 



Very abundant in dredgings from the Bay of Islands. 



55. PJioxus bate!, Llaswell. 



One specimen dredged in the Bay of Islands. 



56. Panoplcea s-pinosa, mihi. 



57. Panoplcea debilis, mihi. 



Both dredged in the Bay of Islands. 



Family. Hypeeiidea. 



Hyperia (Tauria) macrocepliala, Dana. 



Two specimens collected at Sumner beach, near Christ- 

 church, by Professor Hutton, and handed to me by Mr. Charles 

 Chilton, are apparently referable to this species ; but Dana's 

 description and the figure given in the British Museum Cata- 

 logue (the only one accessible to me) are so imperfect that 

 absolute idejitification is hnpossible. 



While C. Spence Bate considers that the distinction on 

 which Dana separated the genus Tauria from H//peria de- 

 pended merely on specific characters, Carl Bovallius, in his 

 "Systematical List of Amp)liipoda Hyperiidea' ("Bihang till 

 K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handhngar," band ii.-, no. 16), refers 

 this species (p. 19) back to Dana's genus Tauria as T. macro- 

 cephala, but without any explanation of his reason for doing 

 so. 



This species has not been previously recorded from the 

 colony, but may be expected to occur on our coasts from time
