and there are all intermediate stages between the strongly spinous 

 A. baffini and the ahnost smooth xL Jeildeni. 



Sars " claims that his A. tuberosits antedates Miers' A. feildeni, 

 giving 1876 as the date of publication of the former. But the 

 Arch. Math, ocj Naturvid., Vol. 2, p. 3t0, where the diagnosis of 

 A. tuberosus is printed, bears the date 1877, not 1876. Miers' A. 

 feildeni was published in the Ann. Mag. Nat. Hid., Series 4, A'^ol. 

 20, p. 14, PI. 3, fig. 1, in the year 1877; but since this volume 

 was not issued before the second half of that yeai', we may grant 

 the priority of Sars* name, although the date of 1876 is not correct.

Length of body 8 mm. Rostrum about as long as the head, 

 directed obliquely upward. Head with one lateral angulation, 

 directed forward. Eyes elliptical. Segments of pereion dorsally 

 smooth, without any spines or tubercles. First segment later- 

 ally with two angulations, both of them directed obliquely forward.

 angulation. All the angulations of these segments are compara- 

 tively short. Pleon with two bluntly triangular angulations on 

 either side of a bluntly triangular central portion. Uropods 

 about as long as pleon, styliform, outer branch a little shorter than 

 inner. Flagellum of first antenna 15 articulate ; flagellum of sec- 

 ond antenna with more than 150 annulations.
