  A 
  single 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  remarkable 
  genus 
  and 
  species 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   collection 
  from 
  Port 
  Jackson. 
  

  

  The 
  name 
  Gahjptura 
  having 
  been 
  preoccupied 
  in 
  1843 
  by 
  Swain- 
  

   son 
  (in 
  tlic 
  Class 
  Aves), 
  I 
  am 
  obliged 
  to 
  adopt 
  a 
  new 
  generic 
  desig- 
  

   nation 
  for 
  this 
  species, 
  and 
  would 
  propose 
  to 
  associate 
  Mr. 
  Haswell's 
  

   name 
  with 
  a 
  typo 
  which 
  is 
  certainly 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  interesting 
  of 
  

   the 
  many 
  new 
  forms 
  described 
  by 
  him. 
  

  

  The 
  coloration, 
  which 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  crimson 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Haswell, 
  

   has 
  completely 
  disappeared 
  in 
  the 
  specimen

  ANISOPODA. 
  

   1. 
  Paranthura 
  australis, 
  Hasivell. 
  

  

  A 
  single 
  specimen, 
  I 
  think 
  a 
  male, 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  from 
  

   Dundas 
  Straits 
  (17 
  fms.). 
  

  

  I 
  may 
  add 
  the 
  following 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Haswell's 
  brief 
  description 
  : 
  — 
  

   The 
  anterior 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  is 
  bisinuated 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   median 
  lobe. 
  The 
  terminal 
  segment 
  is 
  longer 
  than 
  broad, 
  and 
  

   narrows 
  to 
  its 
  rounded 
  apex. 
  Of 
  the 
  antennules 
  four, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  

   antennae 
  five, 
  joints 
  are 
  visible, 
  besides 
  the 
  rudimentary 
  flagellum. 
  

   The 
  carpus 
  in 
  all 
  (?) 
  the 
  legs 
  is 
  produced 
  below 
  the 
  inferior 
  margin 
  

   of 
  the 
  propus 
  or 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  blunt 
  lobe 
  or 
  tooth. 
  

   These 
  characters, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  indicated 
  in 
  Mr. 
  Haswell's 
  descrip- 
  

   tion 
  and 
  figure, 
  render 
  it 
  possible 
  that 
  this 
  specimen 
  may 
  belong 
  

   to 
  a 
  distinct 
  species. 
  

  

  AMPHIPODA. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  determination 
  of 
  the 
  Amphipoda 
  of 
  the 
  ' 
  Alert 
  ' 
  collection 
  

   I 
  have 
  generally 
  followed 
  Mr. 
  Haswell 
  in 
  using 
  Mr. 
  Spence 
  Bate's 
  

   cl'issification 
  t, 
  rather 
  than 
  that 
  more 
  recently 
  proposed 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  

   Axel 
  Boeck 
  J, 
  since 
  the 
  latter 
  author 
  was 
  concerned 
  exclusively 
  

   with 
  north-temperate 
  and 
  Arctic 
  species, 
  and 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  the

  In 
  passing 
  from 
  this 
  notice 
  of 
  the 
  Australian 
  Isopods, 
  I 
  may 
  observe 
  that 
  

   the 
  Idotea 
  caudacuia, 
  Haswell, 
  and 
  /. 
  excavata, 
  Haswell 
  (Cat. 
  pp. 
  276, 
  277), 
  are 
  

   probably 
  identical, 
  the 
  former 
  with 
  Idotea 
  peronii, 
  Milne-Edwards, 
  and 
  the 
  

   latter 
  with 
  /. 
  ungulata, 
  Pallas, 
  as 
  characterized 
  in 
  my 
  recent 
  revision 
  of 
  the 
  

   group 
  (Journ. 
  Linn. 
  Soc, 
  Zool. 
  xvi. 
  p. 
  1, 
  1881).
