Caprella longimanus, Stinipson. 



1853. Synops. Marine Invert. Grand Manan, p. 44. 

 Grand Manan (Stimpson). But, according to Stebbing (in the twenty- 

 ninth volume of the Zoological Reports of the Challenger Expedition, page 

 276) in Mayer's opinion, both this species and the preceding are "too briefly 

 described for recognition, though the latter may be C. acanthijera. Leach." 



Caprella Stimpsonii, Spence Bate. 



Caprella Stimpsoni, Spence Bate (1862). 



Caprella rohusta, Stimpson (1853) ; nnn Dana (1852). 



Grand Manan, "dredged on a rocky bottom, in 12 fathoms, back of Duck 



Island ledge " (Stimpson). 



^gina SPiNOSLSSiMA (Stimpson). 



"This beautiful species was dredged in great numbers adhering to 

 Gemellaria ditmosa in 10 fathoms off Cheney's Head," Grand Manan 

 (Stimpson). 



In the original description, the back and sides of this species are said to 

 be covered everywhere with " sharp broad-based spines, some of which are 

 very long." But, Miers says that the largest specimen collected by the 

 naturalists of the Arctic Expedition in 1875-76 has " but few very small 

 spines and many indistinct vei-y small tubercles." Hence it may be that an 

 amphipod from the Bradelle Bank, dredged by the writer in 1873, and 

 referred to in an official report of that year, as a large, tuberculated species 

 of Caprella, may be referable to ^E. spinosissima.

Dulichia porrecta, Packard (fide Boeck). 

 A " rarely found species " on the Labrador coast (Packard).
