Hah. ' Porcupine,' 18G9, Stat. 22, lat. 56° 8' N., long. 

 13° 34' W. ; south of Rockall, a single specimen : Mus. Nor. 



Distrih. North and South Atlantic [Bovallius). 



This species is stated by Bovallius to be " one of the largest 

 of all the Amphipoda, measuring 30-42 millim." The * Por- 

 cupine ' specimen is only 5 millim. long. Nevertheless, in 

 most essential points, such as general character, the gnatho- 

 pods, the structure and proportional lengths of the peraiopods,. 

 &c., it agrees with L. Sayana. The lower antennse have the 

 penultimate joint shorter in proportion to the last, and the 

 telson is not quite so long as the basal joint of the last uropods. 

 Bovallius lays stress upon this last character as specific 

 throughout the genus ; but age may easily make a difference 

 in it. In form the telson corresponds to that of L. Sayana. 



\Lanceola Murrayi^ n. sp. 



First gnathopods with a group of about six slender spines 

 on the posterior lobes of the meral joint ; carpus, as usual, 

 somewhat cup-shaped, distal breadth only slightly exceeding 

 greatest length, the extremity set round with slender spines;
