(Abstract.) 



This paper contains a detailed description of a small Amphipodous 

 Crustacean, only about 5 or 6 millims. in length, of which two specimens 

 were obtained by the author by means of the hempen triangles from a 

 depth of 12 J fathoms near the Mutlah Light Ship off the mouths of the 

 Ganges and Brahmaputra. 



The paper, which is illustrated by a highly magnified coloured 

 drawing of the animal, as well as by figures of some of its parts on a 

 much larger scale, will be published in the Journal, Part II, No. 2 for 

 the current year.
