The remaining sixteen are included in the following list as found on 

 both sides of Cape Cod, but the letter n. is used to designate such species 

 as are common north and rare south of the Cape, and s. signifies that the 

 species is common at the south but rare northwards.

The number of Isopoda included in the present paper is considerably 

 less than are known to inhabit Great Britain, being only about two- 

 thirds as many as are included in Bate and Westwood's work, together 

 with such additions to that fauna as have come to my knowledge since. 

 As has been seen, eight, or nearly oue-fifth of our marine species, are 

 identical with those of Great Britain. The number of genera is much 

 more nearly equal. Thirty-one marine genera are enumerated in the 

 present paper, and of these sixteen are also British. The remaining 

 fifteen do not appear to be represented on the British coast, but their 

 place is filled by perhaps a rather greater number of genera. Of the 

 families, neglecting the Oniscidce as not properly included in the present 

 paper, we come to the Bopyridce, which have as yet been but little studied 



* The only specimen yet known is from twenty-one miles east of Cape Cod.
