No. 26.] ARTHROSTRACA OF CONNECTICUT. I05 



Last two pereiopods subequal and stout with merus and carpus 

 considerably expanded especially in male; basus of third, fourth, 

 and fifth pereiopods broadly oval. 



Terminal uropods biramous, extending beyond the others ; 

 rami short and broad, inner one narrower than outer and slightly 

 shorter, provided with a small spine near base of inner margin; 

 outer ramus with three fascicles of spines on outer margin; tips 

 of both rami truncated and armed with numerous spines. 



Telson reaching to base of rami of terminal uropods, nearly 

 as broad as long, and cleft two-thirds of the way to the base; 

 lobes oblong and notched at the apex where there may be one or 

 two spines. 



Body olive brown to grayish, marked with numerous small 

 rounded lighter-colored spots and a series of larger light spots 

 along mid-dorsal line. In specimens having much gray pigment 

 the legs are barred with dark bands which in other specimens 

 may be scarcely visible.

Distribution: New Jersey; Vineyard Sound; Provincetown ; 

 Woods Hole, Massachusetts; Long Island Sound; Noank, off 

 Stonington, Connecticut. 



The species is found under rocks and amid sea weed at low 

 tide. At Noank it was also found on piles in sponges, etc., in 

 eel-grass, and on the surface. 



Females captured in August at Woods Hole were found with 

 eggs.

Agreeing in general with Gammarus; but with fourth and 

 fifth abdominal segments each raised dorsally to a spiniferous 

 tubercle. First antennse longer than second and with well devel- 

 oped accessory flagellum.
