 shorter than the peduncle of the upper antennas, which latter are as long or longer than the body. 

 Peduncle of the caudal appendices cylindrical. Color, pale brown, with a double dorsal brown

 *25. Swamps in the forests of South-Carolina. An Janira ? 



A. vulgaris? Lam. (Gould, op. cit. p. 337. Pl. 9, fig. 32 of this work.) Larger than the preceding, 

 according to Dr. Gould. Massachusetts. 



Genus Ligia, labricius. Body oval-oblong, with transverse segments. Two short bifid appendices at 



the extremity of the tail. Feet fourteen. The two outer antennas very conspicuous, with 



the terminal article many-jointed; the inner antenna? not distinct. Two sessile eyes. 



L. oceanica, Fab. (Desm. Consid. Pl. 6, fig. 13 of this work.) It is doubtful whether this species has

decaying wharf, but which, he states, seems to be smaller than L. oceanica.

 tail. Caudal styles four, subequal ; the lateral ones biarticulate. Eyes sessile. Two outer 

 antennas very distinct, of eight joints, naked at their base ; the inner antennas not distinct.
