 CRUSTACEA, 



BY EDWARD J. MIERS, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



With NOTES ON THE COPEPODA, by the Kev. A. M. Norman, M.A. ; and 

 ON THE OSTRACODA, by George Brady, M.D., F.L.S. 



THE following account of the Crustacea is confined to the 

 species collected between lat. 78 and 84 N. 



The most northerly species collected is Anonyx nugax, 

 one of the commonest and most abundantly distributed of 

 the Arctic Amphipoda. Of this species several examples 

 were collected by Commander Markham and Lieutenant Parr, 

 at 83 19' N. lat., in May 1876, at a depth of 72 fathoms. 

 The next most northerly species, the well-known Hippolyte 

 aculeata, was found on the shore of Dumbell Harbour, in 

 lat. 82 30' N. 



The following are the principal stations at which Crustacea 

 were collected by the naturalists on board the ' Alert ' and 

 6 Discovery.' 



Floeberg Beach, the winter quarters of H.M.S. ' Alert,' in 

 82 27' N. lat. 



Discovery Bay, winter quarters of the ' Discovery,' in 

 81 41' N. lat. 



Cape Frazer, Grinnell Land, in 79 44' N. lat. 



Dobbin Bay, Grinnell Land, in 79 40' N. lat. 



Cape Louis Napoleon, in lat. 79 38' N. 



Franklin Pierce Bay, in 79 29' N. lat 



A small collection of Crustacea made by Dr. A. C. Horner, 

 while on board the yacht ' Pandora,' which has been placed 

 in my hands for examination, contains only two species col- 

 lected north of lat. 78, i.e. three specimens of Atylus cari-
