The color in life is usually uniform dark green, AOin 6 timefl with an 

 obscure dorsal stripe of a lighter color. 



Length, 15""". 



Abundant among eel-grass at Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, and

NEROCILA MUNDA Harger, sp. nov. (p. 459.) 



Elongated, oval, smooth, and polished. Antenna? and antennula? nearly 

 equal in length, about as long as the head. Head flattened, about one- 

 third broader than long, slightly narrowing anteriorly, produced and 

 broadly rounded in front, subequally trilobed behind, the middle lobe 

 largest. Eyes black, consisting of an irregularly rounded patch of 

 rather indistinct ocelli visible both above and below. First thoracic 

 segment longer than the others, excavated in front for the three lobes 

 of the head; epimeral sutures of this segment indistinct, but the 

 posterior lateral angles of the segment are somewhat produced and 

 broadly rounded. The next three segments have this angle produced 

 so as to become a small tooth in the fourth thoracic segment; in the last 

 three segments it is much produced, becoming a long acute tooth in the 

 seventh. The epimera of the second segment are rounded behind ; the 

 remaining epimera are slightly angular behind, becoming more acute 

 posteriorly ; those of the second, third, and fourth segments extend 

 backward about as far as the segment to which they belong, but in the 

 last three segments the produced angles of the segments surpass the 

 epimera, so that the angle of the sixth segment nearly attains the end 

 of the seventh epimeron.
