appendiculus 4-5 articulated. In the inferior antennae the 

 flagellum, of 11 oblong articles, is scarcely shorter than the 

 peduncle, the terminal and penult joints of which are of 

 equal length, and each four or five times as long as the 

 antepenult. The four hands are rather small, of nearly the 

 same size and shape, suboblong ; palm transverse, minutely 

 denticulated and setose, finger short, considerably curved. 

 Posterior caudal stylets with unequal rami ; the outer ones 

 large, nearly as long as the three posterior segments of the 

 abdomen ; inner ones very small and inconspicuous. Color, 

 dark brownish, rarely blackish. Length, 0.5 inch. 



This species differs from G. Atchensis in the smoothness 

 of the dorsal surface of the first three abdominal segments. 



Is found among confervae in salt marshes near San 

 Francisco ; and a few specimens were obtained from the 

 stomachs of salmon caught in Puget Sound.

 late, the inner flagella very little smaller than the outer 

 ones ; both 12-articulate ; penultimate article of peduncle 

 entirely concealed beneath the rostrum. Inferior antennae 

 a little longer than the superior ones ; terminal article of 

 peduncle broad at its extremity where its outer angle is
