GAMMARlDiE. 
second pair are large, having the hand broad, truncate ; 
the palm being at nearly right angles with the inferior 
margin, and furnished near the inferior angle with several 
strong short hair-like spines. The finger is arched. The 
walking legs are all nearly of the same length, the three 
posterior pairs being very broad. The last two pairs of 
caudal appendages have the branches unequal in length, 
the last pair not reaching beyond the extremity of the 
preceding. The terminal caudal plate is short and 
ovately lanceolate. 
We received this species first from Mr. Edward, of 
Banff, from which specimen the original description in the 
Catalogue of the British Museum was drawn up. In the 
description, as well as in the figure accompanying it, the 
antennae are represented of the same length ; but a con- 
siderable number of specimens sent to us by the Rev. 
A. M. Norman, from the coast of Yorkshire, have the 
antennae invariably unequal in length. We have, there- 
fore, considered the specimen from Banff as having been 
damaged or an accidentally altered form, and regard the 
Yorkshire specimens as typical of the species. We have 
also received it from the Shetlands from Mr. Norman. The 
late Dr. G. Johnson also sent us a number of specimens 
from Berwick Bay. The colours of the specimens from 
the Shetlands were of a dark orange, striped with 
brownish red ; each band corresponding with the 
posterior margin of each segment of the animal. 
This and the following species are named in honour of 
the two great northern heroes whose history has come 
down to us so dimly through the vista of time.
