98. Meinertia huttoni Filhol. 

 Found in Otago Harbour. 



99. Aega novae-zealandiae Dana. 

 Quite common on the coast. 



100. Aega maorum Filhol. 



" On the coast of Otago " (Filhol). 



101. Pseudaega punctata G. M. Thomson. 



Very common on the beaches, between tide-marks. 



102. Lironeca raynaudii Milne - Edwards. {Lironeca novae-zealandiae 



Miers.) 



A common fish-parasite, especially on flounders and ling. 



I notice in recent works that the tendency is to call this genus Livoneca. 

 The correct spelling, I believe, is Lironeca. I think I am correct in saying 

 that Leach, in naming this and several other genera of Isopoda, played on 

 the letters of his wife's name, Caroline— e.y., Cirolana, Nerocila, Lironeca. 

 No other spelling has any meaning. 



103. Nerocila macleayii Leach. 



A common parasite on various fishes. 



104. Cirolana rossii Miers. 



Very common in the harbour and along the coast. Traps put down for 

 Crustacea are frequently found to pontain them in great numbers. 



Recently baited traps have been put down in localities where large 

 numbers of young lobsters have been liberated, in the hope that examples 

 of these very shy Crustacea might be met with. In every case numerous 

 specimens of a small kokopu (Tripferygion) and of this Isopod have been 

 caught, but no lobsters. 



105. Exosphaeroma gigas Leach. 

 Not uncommon along the coast. 



106. Isocladus armatus A. Milne-Edwards. 



Common along the coast. I think that most of the forms which I 

 formerly recorded as Sphaeroma obtusa Dana were only the females of this 

 species. 



107. Isocladus spiniger Dana. 



Several specimens collected near Dunedin appear to belong to this species. 



108. Dynamella huttoni Gr. M. Thomson. {Cymodocea huttoni G. M. 



Thomson.) 



Very common along the coast.
