given above. A part of them came from the American shore and the 

 rest from the Asiatic coast. 



The hosts included the common cod of the region, Gadus macro- 

 cephalus, the atka fish, Pleurogrammus monopterygius, and a species 

 of Lepidopsetta. 



The new specimens are better preserved than the old ones and not 

 as badly bleached, and from their examination the following notes on 

 color may be added to those already given : 



Carapace and free segment a yellowish horn color, quite transpar- 

 ent; genital segment a deep orange yellow; egg strings a light straw 

 yellow in early development, turning to a deep orange. Dorsal sur- 

 face of the entire body often covered with small circular spots of 

 a dark Venetian red.

 excellently preserved, were obtained from the jew fish, Stereolepis

 females upon which the species was founded, and for which there 

 were no data as to locality or host, were from the Pacific coast.
