SOME BRACKISH-WATER AMPHIPODA. 665 



Peroiopods 1 and 2 stoutly built ; the posterior margin of the 

 2nd joint and both margins of the 4th are fringed with long fine 

 setfe in the male, but carry only a few setse at intervals in the 

 female. The finger has the glandular aperture opening at 

 the tip. 



The hinder perceopods are alike in both sexes. The 5th is 

 long and slender, about twice the length of the 3rd. The fingers 

 of perajopods 3 and 4 are strongly recurved, that of perseopod 5 

 falciform. The posterior margin of the 3rd is furnished with a 

 few simple setae, that of the 4th with plumose setae, while both, 

 margins of the 5th are densely fringed with long and short 

 plumose setae ; the 6th joint of this perseopod carries two or three 

 clusters of remarkably long setae posteriorly. 



The incubatory lamellae are long, narrow, and fringed with 

 very long hairs, that of perseopod 3 almost equals the perasopod 

 in length. 



Telscn the same in both sexes, about twice as broad as long, 

 the apex obtusely truncate ; a pair of mobile setae inset on each 

 side near the base.
