small crustaceous animal, represented in the two figures 

 on the right-hand side of the annexed woodcut, of the 

 natural size and magnified. This is the Limnoria 

 terebrans of Dr. Leach, an Isopod crustacean, known 

 on the south coast of England under the name of the 

 Gribble, belonging to the family Cymothoidce and having 



black eyes ;' the terminal segment of the body is trans- 

 versely oval, and furnished on each side with two small 

 articulated appendages. The abdominal portion of the 

 body beneath is furnished with a double series of deli- 

 breathing, and the female is provided, on the under-side 

 of the body, between the legs, with a kind of pouch, 

 within which the young are developed, which, according 

 to Dr. Leach, are six or seven in number. This species 

 attacks the wooden submarine erections on all our 

 coasts, Fir, Birch, and Oak being nearly equally injured
