142 DR. CHARLES CHILTON ON THE SUBTERRANEAN 
of the British Crustacea’ [10], gave the species under the 
name Niphargus aquilex, Schiddte, and suggested that it was 
the same as Gammarus subterraneus, Leach. Some account 
of it was given anonymously in the ‘ Natural History Review’ 
in 1857. 
In 1859 Spence Bate [11] described two new species of M- 
phargus, viz. N. fontanus and N. Kochianus, and also established 
the new genus Crangonyw for another species, C. subterraneus, 
found by the Rev. H. R. Hogan at Ringwood. In the same year 
Hogan gave some account of the habits, food-supply, &c. of these 
three species [12. pp. 166-169]. 
All the British subterranean species were given by Spence 
Bate in the “Catalogue of the Amphipoda in the British Museum’ 
in 1862 [13. pp. 174 &e.], and afterwards by Bate & Westwood 
in their ‘ History of the British Sessile-eyed Crustacea,’ where 
full descriptions are given and some general remarks are 
made on their affinities, habits, distribution, &c. [1. pp. 311 to 
328]. 
I do not know of any further work in English specially dealing. 
with these Crustacea, though naturally they have frequently 
been referred to in some of the numerous works dealing with 
the similar forms found in other countries; some remarks upon 
them are made too by Stebbing in the course of the Biblio- 
graphical Introduction to his ‘‘ Report on the ‘ Challenger’ 
Amphipoda.” 
Quite recently a species of Miphargus has been recorded from 
Cringleford, near Norwich, by Dr. 8S. F. Harmer [14. pp. 489- 
491]; and the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing [2] has drawn attention to 
the whole subject of the British subterranean fauna in his address 
to the Associated Societies at the Dover Meeting of the British 
Association. 
Of the writers on European species it will be sufficient to 
mention the names of Valette St. George [15]; Joseph [16]; de 
Rougemont [17], whose papers led to so much controversy ; 
Humbert [18], who described a variety of Miphargus puteanus, 
Koch, with an accuracy and fullness of detail that has scarcely 
been equalled since; Moniez [19]; and WrzeSniowski [20], in 
whose paper a full historical account of the subject will be 
found. 
More recently Chevreux [22] has described a new species of 
Niphargus from France, Vejdovsky has published valuable papers:
