established for it a separate genus, which he has since 
cancelled in the tc Catalogue of Amphipoda ” for the 
British Museum. The first pair of legs have the hands 
slightly dilated, and gradually increasing in diameter to 
the palm, against which the finger, when shut, closely im- 
pinges for the entire length. The second pair of legs have 
the wrist dilated and continuous with the hand, which is 
large, diagonally quadrate, the palm being oblique and 
defined by an obtuse tooth. The third and fourth pairs 
of legs are short and strong ; they have the thighs 
dilated anteriorly. The fifth, sixth, and seventh have 
the distal extremity of the sixth joints dilated so as to 
increase their prehensile power, a circumstance which 
suggests to us the idea that this imperfectly-examined 
animal may belong to the genus Sunamphithoe. 
The two or three specimens of this species which we 
have seen are dried and imperfect ; they were sent to us 
by the late Mr. Barlee, who obtained them at Penzance. 
The colour of the specimens is a tolerably fresh green, 
spotted with rather large and distant black points, which 
are most abundant upon the sides of the animal.
