COROPHIlDiE. 
The animal here described was taken by Mr. Jeffreys 
and the Rev. A. M. Norman, during the summer of 
1861, in from seventy to ninety fathoms water, sixty 
miles east of the Shetland group. This is the first 
time that the animal has been described as British. In 
the Catalogue of Amphipoda for the British Museum, 
the species was indicated as Scandinavian, from Kroyer’s 
description and figure. 
The abode constructed by this species is also figured 
and described by Kroyer as being built of small stones 
and fragments of pebbles cemented together, and open at 
one end only. 
Never having taken the nest of this species, we are 
indebted to Kroyer’s figure for the following vignette.
