Eyes rcniform ; white, ^nth black spots. Superior antennte having 

 the peduncle as long as the cephtilon, rounded above ; flagellum not 

 lungi'r than the peduncle ; first joint nearlj' half the length of the 

 flagellum ; secondary appendage nearly a,s long as the flagellum. 

 Inferior antennae about the same length as the superior. Epistome 

 produced, rounded. Maxillipeds having the squamiform plate crc- 

 nulate. First pair of gnathopoda short, stout, having the carpus 

 and propodos subequal. Second pair long, having the propodos 

 half fxs long as the carpus ; dactylos iiidimentary, tufted inferiorly 

 with short hairs, and the propodos superiorly with long ones. 

 Bases of the three posterior paii'S of pereiopoda covering the ischium, 

 and ha\ing the'posterior margin crenulate and fringed with solitaiy 

 haii's. The posterior pair of pleopoda short, the rami scarcely 

 longer than the base. Tclson deeply cleft. 



Length ^ths of an inch. 



This description and figure are taken fi-om a British specimen. It 

 differs from Ki-oyer's figiu-e in having the palm of the first pair of 

 gnathopoda smooth, whereas in Kriiyer's it is slightly serrated. The 

 inner edge of the dactylos is also sci'rated ; this, too, I have observed 

 in some specimens. In our figiu-e there is likewise a slight crenula- 

 tion along the posterior margin of the three anterior segments of 

 the ]ileon, which would probably ])c overlooked without dissection 

 under a good raagnifj-ing power. I think that, not haWng had an 

 opportunity of examining the type, it is better to consider the present 

 as the typical species, than to erect another upon characters so slight. 



I have received this species from the Moray Frith {Rev. O. 

 Gordon), Banff {Mr. Edward), Falmouth (il/r. W. Webster), and 

 have di-edged it in Blymouth Sound.

This species, from Kiilyer's figure, so closely resembles A. Ed- 

 wardsii, that, without an examination of a recognized specimen, I 

 should hesitate to define it.
