ginal crescents, curves round towards the submarginal line till 
opposite the disc, whence it goes obliquely to the hind margin of 
the wing, which it touches near the end of the second line. The 
female is a little larger than the male, and has filiform antenne.—

SUBTERRANEAN CRUSTACEA.— Towards the end of last year I 
received a letter from Mr. D. L. Inwood, of Winchester, telling me 
that he had obtained some subterranean crustacea from a well at 
Winchester, near Temuka, South Canterbury. “They were pro- 
cured,” he says, “from a tube-well sunk some 16ft. or so into 
shingle, on the high bank of a creek; the bottom of the well is, 
I should imagine, some six to ten feet below the bottom of the 
adjacent creek.” Subsequently he very kindly sent me some 
specimens, which, so far as I have yet examined them, appear to 
be as follows :—(1) three large specimens of Phreatoicus typicus : 
these differ slightly from my Eyreton specimens, but whether 
they belong to a different variety, or whether the differences are 
due to age, [am not yet prepared tosay ; (2) one of Gammarus 
Sragilis; (3) one of Cruregens fontanus; (4) three of Calliopius* 
subterraneus.. With the exception of Phreatotcus typicus, none of 
these species appear to differ in any appreciable degree from the 
Eyreton specimens. At Eyreton Phreatoicus typicus is rare—I 
have seen only about 8 or 9 specimens altogether—but Mr. In- 
wood tells me that at Winchester it seems quite as common as 
any of the others. It will be seen that all the species found at 
Eyreton, with the exception of Crangonyx compactus, have also 
been found at Winchester.
