Genus 2. Lestrigonns. — This genus is also represented on 

 our eoast by two species. The first of these may, I think, be 

 identified with Kriiyer's L. ejculans, although it difiers from 

 this in its considerable size and also in having the upper an- 

 tennas longer than the head aiul the first two segments toge- 

 ther, and their flagella composed of seventeen short joints. 

 The first joint of the flagellum is, moreover, shorter than in 

 L, exulans, and of a different form ; but it is possible that 

 Kroyer's specimen was not perfectly developed. These parts 

 vary both in form and size according to age. I have there- 

 fore for the present cited it under the above name. 



The second species, L. Boeckii, resembles the preceding one 

 in size ; but the antennse are very nearly of the same length as 

 the body. The first joint of the peduncle in the upper an- 

 tennas is very short, and the flagellum is formed of eighteen 

 very long and thin joints. The third and especially the fourth 

 joints of the inferior antenna?, when compared with those of 

 the preceding species, are much longer, and their extreme end 

 is furnished with more teeth ; the fifth joint is about half as 

 long as the fourth. The flagellum is formed of twenty-fom' 

 long and slender joints. The eyes are very large, and occupy 

 the whole side of the head, becominc; contis-uous above. The 

 claws of the first two pairs of feet are denticulated on the 

 upper part of the hinder edge. The last three pairs of thoracic 

 legs are not much longer than the preceding. 



The first of these specie.s was found near Beian and Sond- 

 mor by Professors Rasch and Boeck ; the second was found 

 as long ago as 1818, in the Christiania-tjord, by Professor C. 

 Boeck, and also subsequently by him at Beian. 



A remarkable transition between this and the next tribe is 

 constituted by a new form, which differs so much from both, 

 especially with regard to the parts of the mouth, that it cannot 

 find a place in either of these, and therefore must be set up as 

 a separate tribe and family. 



Tribe II. PrOSTOMATvE, mihi. — This includes only one 

 genus and s])ecies, which ^I. Esnuirk, who first distinguished 

 its aberrant form, indicated under the generic name of Tri- 

 schizostoma^ naming the species, after its discoverer, T. 

 Bxischii. 



This Amphipod, according to Professor Rasch's statement, 

 was taken by him at Ilavbroen, off the coast of Siindmor, by 

 sinking a dead bird to a depth of about 100 fathoms. To this 

 three specimens, all females, attached tliemselves. lie is not,
