Gammarfs loricatus. 

 On Parry's expedition found on the shores of AValden

Gammarus Boreus. 

 Found on Parry's expedition abundantly on the shores of

Gammarus arcticus. 



This species is figured in Scoresby's Arctic Regiotis, pi. 16, 

 f. 14. In that work (i, p. 541) the author observes, " the 

 actions of this species suggest as a familiar name, the mounte- 

 Ixinh shrimp. It frequently turns over when in the water 

 with singular celerity, and swims with equal ease in every 

 position. The four feet raised in the figure above the back, 

 are made use of in that position whenever its back comes in 

 contact with any solid substance. This species occurs in all 

 parts of the Spitzbergcn sea, and at the greatest distance 

 from land; it inhabits the superficial water, and aff'ords food 

 for whales and birds." 



Gammarus ? 



Scorcsby alludes to another small amphipod remarkable for 

 the largeness of its eyes, large quantities of which were found 

 in the stomach and mouth of a whale ; so that these crea- 

 tures, it is evident, feed also on small Crustacea. 



LEUCOTnOE GLACIALIS. 



Pell Sound. (Kroyer, Tidsh, iv, 159.)
