Orthopalame Terschellingii had proved to be identical with 

 Microprotopus maculatus, a genus and species described by 

 Norman in the 'Annals and Magazine' for December 1868. 

 The genus Orthopalame is therefore cancelled. 



M. Jules Bonnier has also, during 1889, discovered and 

 pointed out that in instituting the new genus Dryope in 1862, 

 the late Mr. Spence Bate was in error in attributing two 

 branches to the last uropods, and that, in fact, the genus 

 Dryope, of which the name was preoccupied, is identical with 

 the genus Unciola, Say. The uropods in question are diffi- 

 cult to observe, because, while above they are covered by the 

 minutely scabrous telson, below they are almost concealed 

 by the produced ventral plate of the sixth segment of the 

 pleon. It may be questioned whether the inner branch of the 

 third uropods in this genus is not rather coalesced with the 

 peduncle than absolutely wanting. This is a point which 

 some embryologist might decide. 



Of the species which Dr. Julius Vosseler described last 

 year among the Amphipoda of Spitzbergen under the name 

 il Amphitopsis dubia, n. sp.," it may be said that there is great 

 reason to regard it as identical with Amphithopsis glacialis, 

 Hansen, 1 887, although Hansen does not figure or mention the 

 pair of apical setules which Vosseler notices and represents on 

 the telson. Hansen suggests that his species ought possibly 

 to be referred to Boeck's genus Laothoes, because the lower 

 antennae are longer than the upper. In Boeck's genus, how- 

 ever, it is the upper antennas that are longer than the lower. 

 Further, in Laothoes the first maxillas have a little one-jointed 

 palp, while Vosseler, at least for his " Amphitopsis dabia" 

 figures the first maxillae as having a large two-jointed palp. 

 Boeck himself says that Laothoes was preoccupied by Fabri- 

 cius among Lepidoptera in 1808, and therefore ought to be 

 exchanged for some other name to stand among the Amphi- 

 poda. Scudder gives " Laothoe, Fabr. Lep. 1808, A ;" and if 

 this is correct, there will be no need to alter Boeck's generic 

 name, but figures of Laothoes Meinerti } Boeck, are, I believe, 

 still a desideratum.
