AMPHIPODS 241 



Family AMPHITHOID/E. 



AMPHITHCE HUMERALIS Stimpson. 



Two specimens from Puget Sound, the type locality. 



A specimen of another species of Amphithce was taken along with the 

 preceding specimens. It is perhaps of the same species as that described 

 by Caiman as Atnphithx sp.,^ although it does not quite agree with 

 Caiman's description. As the specimen is a female, it can not be identi- 

 fied with certainty.

 Several specimens collected at Puget Sound by Professor Kincaid.
