118 Rev. A. M. Norman's Notes on British Amphipoda. 



Hah. Two specimens taken at Guernsey, 1865 [A. M.N.) : 

 Mus. Norm. 



I figure the terminal joints of the last peraopods of the four 

 North-European species with w^hich I am acquainted. 



L. pallida., Bate (PL X. fig. 10). — Propodos longer than 

 carpus by about one fourth, its hinder margin with groups of 

 very long setae ; dactylus exceedingly long and slender, fully 

 two thirds as long as propodos. 



L. jissicornis (M. Sars) (fig. 11). — Propodos nearly half as 

 long again as carpus, -with single spines on front margin ; 

 dactylus scarcely more than one fourth its length. 



L. cequicornis, G. O. Sars (fig. 12). — Propodos peculiarly 

 flattened, somewhat fusiform, Avidest in the middle, only 

 slightly longer than carpus ; dactylus flattened, lanceolate, 

 equal in length to two thirds of propodos. 



L. picta^ Norman (fig. 9). — Propodos slightly longer than 

 carpus, front margin with three or four pairs of spinules ; 

 dactylus short, scarcely exceeding one fourth of the length of 

 propodos. 



3. Lilljehorgia Kinahani (Bate).

Amphip. du Sud-ouest de la Bretagne, p. 2. 



Hah. The British liabitat of the type was ^'Nullipore bank 

 off the coast of Cumbrae,'^ where it was found by Mr. D. 

 Robertson. Being anxious to see the type I applied to Mr. 

 Robertson ; but he found that the specimen had been mi-slaid. 

 Dredged near Hope's Nose, Devonshire, Sept. 1874 {Stehhing). 



Distribution. Coast of Brittany [Chevreaux). 



It is difficult to understand why this species was not placed 

 by Bate and Westwood in the genus Lilljehorgia^ to which 

 they refer in their description, comparing P. Kinahani with 

 it and pointing out similarities to L. pallida. 



Chevreaux says of it : — " Cette forme, decrite par Sp. Bate 

 sous le nom de Phcedra Kinaliani d'ltpres un specimen dragu^ 

 sur un banc de Nullipores, pres de Glascou, n'a jamais ^te 

 signalee depuis. Je me suis range u I'opinion de Boeck, qui 

 pense qu'elle doit appartenir du genre Lilljehorgia. Elle est 

 en efiet tres voisine de L. jjallida^ Sp. Bate, et n'en differe 

 gu^re que par sa petite taille, et par la forme de la main de 

 ses deux premieres paires de pattes thoraciques : sa colora- 

 tion est a peu pr^s semblable a celle de I'esp^ce voisine, la
