Land, Fresh- Water, and Marine Crustacea. 381 



Additional Note. — As the second part of this Catalogue 

 was ready to go to press, I received a copy of an important 

 work on the Amphipoda Gammaridea by the Eev. T. E. E. 

 Stebbing, M.A., F.E.S., etc. This work, which has just been 

 published, forms the twenty-first of the series of Monographs 

 that are being issued under the general title Das Tierreich. 

 The Amphipoda are here divided into three legions, viz., the 

 Gammaridea, the Hyperiidea, and the Caprellidea, and it is 

 the first that forms the subject of Mr Stebbing's volume. 

 The number of known species belonging to the Gammaridea 

 as given in it is 1333. Of these, 1076 are " accepted species," 

 while the remaining 257 are regarded as doubtful. Their 

 classification differs to some extent from that of the Monograph 

 by G. 0. Sars. There are also a considerable number of 

 changes in the nomenclature, and I take the opportunity to 

 indicate the more important of these, so far as they concern 

 the species recorded in this Catalogue.
