eyes. Eirst antennae with basal segrnent large, somewhat ex- 

 panded, second segment little shorter than first and about half 

 its width, third and fourth equal segments, each one and one- 

 half longer than second. First antennae reach middle of third 

 segment of peduncle of second antenn?e. First segment of 

 second antennae short and inconspicuous as viewed dorsally, 

 second segment long or about three times longer than first, third 

 segment about one and one-half times longer than second, fourth 

 segment about one and one-half times longer than third, and fifth 

 segment a little less than fourth. Flagellum a little longer than 

 fifth segment of second attennae, and latter longer than half of 

 entire body length. Maxillipeds with palp formed of four seg- 

 ments. First thoracic segment a little shorter than any of 

 others except seventh. Second, third, fourth and- fifth thoracic 

 segments subequal. Epimera distinctly separate on all segments, 

 including first, very small or almost inconspicuous and situated 

 in first three segments on lateral edge anterior to median trans- 

 verse line, though in fourth segment they occupy middle of 

 lateral margin. In last four segments epimera placed below medi- 

 an transverse line, and give to all segments rather angular ap- 

 pearance. Abdomen formed of a single segment, and about 

 one-third distance from base to posterior end, a small lateral 

 process on either side. Below these processes sides of abdomen 

 nearly parallel till close to end where they form rounded apex.

Remarks. — Originally found in Great Egg Harbor Bay, in 

 this State, and subsequently in Connecticut, the species is seen to 

 have a restricted distribution. It does not appear to be common, 

 and was found in the eel-grass. Leidy records it from Beach 

 Haven.
