Amathillahomari{FsihTicms)=AmatJiinasabmi(Le?ich). 



The yomig of this species is one of the commonest 

 Amphipoda on our coasts, in tidal pools during spring and 

 early summer. I cannot doubt that A. angiUosa (Kathke) 

 is this young form. The large females measuring 26 mm. 

 in length come to the shore in early spring to deposit their 

 young and may then be taken among Algae. The young 

 at first have no dorsal carina which is only developed by 

 degrees ; in their earliest stage these are Grayia imhricata 

 (Bate). The largest I have of the young form is 9 mm. 

 long, nor have I have ever seen one between these sizes.

Puf&n Island ; Hilbre Swash ; Colwyn Bay ; Port Erin 

 Harbour. Length 16 mm.

 Length 16 mm.
