KEY TO THE TSOPODS OF THE PACIFIC COAST OFNORTH AMERICA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OFTWENTY-TWO NEW SPECIES.By Harriet Richardson. The isopods of the Pacific coast of North America have claimed theattention of a number of naturalists during the last half of the nine-teenth century. Among the first to contribute to the knowledge ofthe fauna of that region was Dana. Stimpson also belongs to theearlier part of that period; his work on the Crustacea and Echinoder-mata of the Pacific shores of North America, published in 1857, wasthe first si)ecial treatise on the forms of that locality. In connectionwith the work of the later part of the past fifty years, the names ofStuxberg, Lockington, and Harford form one group as contempora-neous workers (1875-7(5), those of Schicedte and Meinert, and Budde-Lund, another group (1883-85), while the publications of Dr. Hansenand Dr. Benedict represent the latest (1898) work on the isopods ofthat coast.The number of species already described is 75, and '22 are added inthe present work. These species represent 44 genera and IG families,as shown in the following table:LIST OF tribes, FAMILIES, (iENERA, AND SPECIES. Page.I. ClIELIKKRA 819Family I. Tanaid;? 8191.

The base of this segmentis raised above the other portion and has a well-defined edge with two points extending backward,one on either side of the median line. The uropodaextend beyond the tip of the abdomen; the innerbran(;h is obliquely truncate; the outer branch is more rounded; bothbranches are fringed with long hairs.The prehensile legs are short; the gressorial legs are long and slender.The legs increase gradually in length from the first to the seventh ])air.Two specimens, from Monterey Bay, California, collected by Mr.Heath from sandy shore at mean tide.Type.?Bo. 22564, U.S.N.M.

It is unlike Idotea icosncsenslcii in the following points,and from an examination of a large number of individuals of I. u-osne-senslii, in which these points remain constant, it seems to demonstratethe impossibility of uniting the two species.1. "Form of epimera of second to fourth thoracic segments, whichreach quite to the posterolateral angles of these segments,2. "Epimera of the second segment are broader anteriorly, and theterminal segment more resembles tliat of I. ochotensis, being moreangulated and less rounded at the posterolateral angles."'3.

Synidotea can by no means be considered a synonym of Steno-soma, as anyone who is familiar with the two genera will undoubtedlyadmit. It differs from Stenosoma in the consolidation of the epimerawith the segments. The epimera are firmly and i)erfectly united withthe segments, and the only trace or indication of a sei)aration is rep-resented in the anterior segments by a slight and almost imperceptiblenotch in the posterior margins, halfway between the lateral margin andthe median line of the body, and in the three posterior segments by avery faint line. In Stenosoma all the epimera are very distinct fromthe segments. 45. SYNIDOTEA PALLIDA Benedict.Synidotea pallida Benedict, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci.
