[Distributed in fifty sets, put up by Mr. Eicliard Ratlibuu, under tlie direction of Professor A. E. Verrill, 1879.] EXPLANATION.

The specimens included in the following list are preserved in alcohol, anless otherwise stated. The authority given for the name is usually the author who first used the comUned binomial name herein adopted, and is not necessarily that of the author who first described the , or gave the siJecific name. (A name in parentheses is authority for the specific name only.) The species are not all included in each of the fifty sets, but those sent in each numbered set are checked on the list bearing the correspond- ing number. The species now distributed are not to be considered as tlie most common, but simply those which happen to be at present most abundantly represented in the collections of the Fish Commission, or those which, for other reasons, can be most conveniently distributed at this time, and have been so selected as to give representatives of most of the important groups. It will also be understood that the species included in this list form but a very small proportion (less than one- twelfth) of the total number of species contained in the collections made by the Fish Commission on the New England coast.

Upon tlie coast of Europe au Amphipod belouging- to tlie genus Ghc- liira has long been known, associated with the Isopod Limnoria ligno- nim, or " gribble" of English writers, in destroying the timber of all kinds of submarine structures. But, upon the coast of the United States, the Chclura has apparently escaped detection until very recently, and I
