Tlie animal here described was taken by Mr. Jeffreys 

 and the Rev. A. M. Norman, during the summer of 

 1861, in from seventy to ninety fathoms water, sixty 

 miles east of the Slietland group. This is the first 

 time that the animal has been described as British. In 

 the Catalogue of Amphipoda for the British Museum, 

 the species was indicated as Scandinavian, from Kroyer's 

 description and figure. 



The abode constructed by this species is also figured 

 and described by Kroyer as being built of small stones 

 and fragments of pebbles cemented together, and open at 

 one end only. 



Never having taken the nest of tliis species, we are 

 indebted to Kroyer's figure for the following vignette.
