l.IST OF AXIMVI.S OF SlMTZiJERGEN. 16-3 



Met(ecus Medusabum. 



It is either this or M. cyan.J5, which Martens alludes to as 

 found in the cavities of one of the sea-blubbers {medusa). 

 As INIr. Gosse observes of an allied species found on the 

 Devonshire coast, this singular aniphipod " makes these 

 chambers his residence, dwelling in them as in so many 

 spacious and commodious apartments, of which he takes pos- 

 session, without asking leave of the landlord, or paying him 

 even a peppercorn rent. There, however, he snugly en- 

 sconces himself and feels himself so much at home, that he is 

 not afraid to leave his dwelling now and then to take a swim 

 in the free water, returning to his chamber after his exer- 

 cise." — Naiuralisf s Rambles, p. 367. 



Caprella Scolopendroides. 

 Taken to the northward of Low Island on Parry's ex- 

 pedition. 



Cyamus ceti — Whale-louse. 

 Found on the whale principally under the fin, or in situa- 

 tions where it is not likely to be dislodged. Scoresby refers 

 to a similar animal, but smaller, being sometimes found on 

 the body of the narwhal {Arctic Regions, i, 543). 



Arcttjrus Baffini. 

 Taken abundantly off the west side of Loav Island, on 

 Parry's expedition (App., p. 203). 



Tanais gracilis. 

 Spitzbergen. (Kroyer, Tidsk, iv, 182.) 



Lernceopoda eloxgata. 

 Attached to the eye of the Greenland shark. Scoresby, 

 in his Arctic Regions, i, p. 538, pi. 15, fig. 5, describes and 

 figures this as a portion of the eye of the shark ; he says, 

 " to the posterior edge of the pupil is attached a white 

 vermiform substance, one or two inches in length. Each
