AMPHTPODA NOKMALIA. 



11. Anonyx ampiilloides. (Plate XII. fig. 8.) B.M. 

 Anonyx ainpuUoidea, Siimpson, 3IS. 



In general aspect this species resembles Anonyx lagcna ; but close 

 examination shows the following distinctions : — 



The inferior antennae are much longer than the superior. The first 

 pair of gnathopoda have the palm fiingcd with fine hairs, but not 

 a comb-like margin. The second pair of gnathopoda have the 

 carpus slight, and much longer than the propodos ; the dactylos 

 quite nidimentary, Telson deeply divided, becoming almost a 

 double appendage. 



Length half an inch. 



I am indebted for this specimen to the kindness of the author, 

 who brought it from Japan. 



12. Anonyx nanus. (Plate XII. fig. 9.) B.M. 



Anonyx nanus, Krnyer, Voy. Scand. pi. 17. f. 2. 



This species, so far as I can judge from Kroyer's figure, not having 

 seen a specimen, difiers from tuniidiis in having the inferior antennae 

 as long again as the superior. 



13. Anonyx Plautus. (Plate XIII. fig. 1.) B.M. 



Anonyx Plautus, Kroyer, Voy, Scand. pi. . f. 1 a. 



Eyes small. Inferior antennae scarcely longer than the superior. 

 First pair of gnathopoda having the propodos rounded above and 

 straight beneath ; the palm occupying the whole of the inferior 

 margin. The three posterior pairs of pereiopoda short, robust, 

 having the bases serrated and reaching to nearly half of the meros. 

 The peduncle of the thi^ee posterior pairs of pleopoda enlarged 

 towards their extremities ; the rami short. Telson round ; apex 

 depressed, scarcely cleft. 



Length -^ths of an inch. 



The specimen from which the figure is taken was procured near 

 Banff", by our esteemed correspondent Mr. Edward. 



14. Anonyx pnnctatns. (Plate XIII. fig. 2.) B.M. 

 Anonyx punctatus, Stimpson, MS. 



Eyes small, round, red. Antennae subequal. First pair of gnatho- 

 poda having the propodos much longer than the carpus ; the palm 

 short, oblique, and armed at the inferior angle with two or three 

 short stout spines ; Lnfeiior margin parallel with the superior. 

 Second pair of gnathopoda having the propodos more than half as
