Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. 257 
duced beyond base of finger, defining tooth short, and palm not deeply 
excavate; in 2 limb resembles Ist gnathopod of ¢@, finger strongly 
serrate. 
Second joint of Ist and 2nd peraeopods as in A. kergueleni Stebb. 
Third uropod, peduncle with 5—6 spines on upper apex, inner ramus 
a little larger than outer. 
These specimens show a very strong likeness to A. rubricata (Mont.) 
and also to A. kergueleni Stebb. The latter however has numerous 
setae on the inner plate of Ist maxilla and only 2 spines on apex of 
peduncle of 3rd uropod. Until further and better material of the 
South African form comes to hand, it is not advisable to assign them 
to a particular species. It is possible that kergueleni may be only a 
southern form of rubricata, and that transitional forms may later be 
discovered.

The International Catalogue No. 7 refers to two new species (Odusi 
kelleri and Grubia esa) from Vladivostok described by von der 
Briiggen in “ Bull. Ac. Sci. St. Petersb. ser. 6, 1, 1907 (660).” This 
reference must have been wrongly quoted as there is no paper on 
Amphipods by this author in the volume for 1907. In no, 2 of this 
volume, p. 44, however, occurs a notice of v. d. Briiggen’s paper which 
appears to have been published in the following year in Ann. Mus. 
Zool. St. Petersb. 1907, xii, 4, p. 478. This reference is correctly 
quoted in the International Catalogue No. 8, where the new species 
are given as Odius kelleri and Amphithoe eoa (v. d. Briiggen writes the 
latter, Amphitoe). 
I therefore regard Grubia esa as a synonym, or rather a nomen 
nudum, of Amphitoe eoa and non-existent as far as the genus Giubia is 
concerned.
