style on the second pair of branchial plates in the male is straight, 
slightly surpasses the cilia, and is acute at the end. 
The color in life is usually uniform dark green, sometimes with an 
obseure dorsal stripe of a lighter color. 
Length, 15™™. 
Abundant among eel-grass at Great Ege Harbor, New Jersey, and 
also found at New Haven, Connecticut.

NEROCILA MUNDA Harger, sp. nov. (p. 409.) 
Elongated, oval, smooth, and polished. Antenne and antennule nearly 
equal in length, about as long asthe head. Head flattened, about one- 
third broader than long, slightly narrowing anteriorly, produced and 
broadly rounded in front, subequally trilobed behind, the middle lobe 
jargest. Eyes black, consisting of an irregularly rounded patch of 
rather indistinct ocelli visible both above and below. First thoracic 
segment longer than the others, excavated in front for the three lobes 
of the head; epimeral sutures of this segment indistinct, but the 
posterior lateral angles of the segment are somewhat produced and 
broadly rounded. The next three segments have this angle produced 
so as to become asmall tooth inthe fourth thoracic segment; in the last 
three segments it is much produced, becoming along acute tooth in the 
seventh. The epimera of the second segment are rounded behind ; the 
remaining epimera are slightly angular behind, becoming more acute 
posteriorly ; those of the second, third, and fourth segments extend 
backward about as far as the segment to which they belong, but in the 
last three segments the produced angles of the segments surpass the 
epimera, so that the angle of the sixth segment nearly attains the end 
of the seventh epimeron.
