Mag. of Nat. Hist., 3d series, vol. xiii, 1864. As 
far as I could ascertain from the extremely insuffi- 
cient description of Hodge, and from his figures, 
this species belongs to the genus Phoxichilidium. 
One of the species of Phowichilidium occurring on the 
French and on the Dutch coast is probably the same 
species. Should this prove to be true the ovi- 
gerous leg is six-jointed and occurs only in the 
male.

Wilson gives this name to the species described by 
Smith (Report Invertebrata of Vineyard Sound, p. 250) 
as Phoxichilidium maaillare. I think it is closely 
allied to Phowxichilidium virescens, Hodge (Ann. and 
Mag., 3d. ser., vol. xiii. p. 115, 1864). Ovigerous legs 
only in the male, six-jointed.

a defective specimen of this curious form was dredged 
by the Challenger Expedition. It has ten-jointed 
ovigerous legs.
