GAMMARIDiE. 
The antepenultimate pair have the branches shorter than 
their peduncles ; those of the penultimate and ultimate 
are longer ; especially the latter, on the outer branch 
of which there is an articulation near the apex. The 
caudal plate is almost round, divided at the apex to 
more than half the depth of the plate, where the division 
is broader than at the apex, thus giving the plate the 
appearance of being bilobed. 
This species affords an example of the near approxi- 
mation of Anonyx and Lysianassa. The first pair of 
hands have the palm scarcely distinguishable from the 
line of the inferior margin, against which the curved 
finger impinges when closed. 
Having stated that this specimen was sent to us in 
spirits, we would here mention that we find, for a limited 
period (some months at least), specimens preserved in 
glycerine keep all the colour and transparency of living 
animals. 
This species was sent to us by Mr. Edward, of Banff, 
who took it in the Moray Frith.
