LILJEBORGIA PALLIDA.

took several specimens on the eastern side of Drake’s 
Island. 
In the living animal the colour is very white, the 
hack being stained with a rich crimson blotch, a circum- 
stance that enabled us to identify every specimen at once. 
The hands possess a rosy hue, and a tinge of the same 
colour may be detected on many of the articulations of 
the legs. 
Bruzelius, in his te Memoir on the Amphipoda of Skan- 
dinavia,” has given the figure and description of a species 
of this genus, under the name of Gammarus brevicornis , 
which we consider to be identical with this, the only 
distinction being the shortness of the last joint of the 
peduncle of the lower antennag, the greater relative 
length of the flagellum, and the less ornate character 
of the serrature of the fingers to the hands, the result 
probably of being examined with a less powerful lens. 
The specimens, described by Bruzelius, were taken on 
the western shores of Sweden.
