other localities in the Gulf of Maine, froju off Casco Bay, 4S to 68 

 fathoms, and from deep water in the Bay of P\indy. 



In examining many hundreds of specimens only seven were found 

 carrying eggs ; these specimens vary between 75 and 100™'" in length : 

 one of them is from 48 fathoms, Massachusetts Bay, August 13, 1877 ; 

 another is from 45 fathoms, in the same region, August 29, 1878; 

 three are from 75 fathoms. Gulf of Maine, oft' Cape Ann, October 17, 

 1877 ; and two are from Halifax, Nova Scotia, September, ]877. 



This species diftiers in color from the horealls in having the red more 

 intense and arranged in clearly defined markings, of which those 

 upon the carapax and abdomen are arranged in conspicuous, obliquely 

 transverse lines or bars, while the color upon the rest of the body and 

 upon the appendages is collected in distinct specks, blotches, or annu- 

 lations. 



Stimpson's Fandalas levigatus is undoubtedly synonymous with 

 P. Mo7itagni. The latter species is exceedingly abundant in the Bay 

 of Fundy and Dr. Stimpson could scarcely have failed to obtain it in 

 his dredgings at Grand Menan. Moreover, the description of the 

 levigatus applies perfectly to the Montagai^ except as to the color, in 

 regard to which there was probably some mistake. There are simi- 

 lar discrepancies in regard to the color of some of the species of 

 Amphipoda described in the same memoir. 



Palsemonetes vulgaris stimpson ex Say. 



Kingsley (Proceedings Acad. Nat. Sci., 1878, p. 330 (15)) gives 

 " Salem, Mass. (C. Cooke)," as a locality for this species, and it 

 undoubtedly occurs regularly in the shallow waters of Cape Cod Bay, 

 although 1 have never observed specimens north of Cape Cod. It is 

 very coiumon among eel-grass, etc., in Vineyard Sound ! and Buz- 

 zard's Bay!, 1871, 1875; Fisher's Island Sound!, 1874; Long Island
