MPHIPODA. ORCHESTIIDA. 
SALTATORIA, (Vol. I. p. 37.*) 

ORCHESTIA BREVIDIGITATA, N.S. 
Specific character, Second pair of gnathopoda with the propodos broader 
at the distal extremity ; the palm being at right angles with the upper 
margin, nearly straight, fringed with a series of equidistant setw, and 
bounded below by an obtusely rounded lobe. 
Length, about cight-twentieths of an inch. 
Tuis species differs from any that we have hitherto examined, 
It bears a closer resemblance to O. euchore, which Dr. Fritz 
Miller has described, from the shores of Brazil, than any 
other with which we are acquainted. 
The most striking feature is that of the form of the second 
pair of gnathopoda, as described above. 
The dactylos of the second pair of gnathopoda is nearly 
one-third shorter than the palm, and one-half the width of
