Among isopods we get the remarkable Eurycope gigantea belonging to a group with very long legs that easily drop off; it has a relation not nearly. Fig. 364. Nymphon robust urn, Bell. (After Wyville Thomson.) so big (Munnopsis typica) in the greater depths of the boreal region and widely distributed throughout the arctic seas. The isopod fauna is further represented, often in consider- able quantities, by the genera Arcturus (A. baffini, see Fig. 367) and Astacilla {A. granulatd). A sea-anemone, Allantactis parasitica, is another of the most characteristic forms, attaching itself to the shells of snails belonging to the species of Sipko and Neptimea. _ 1 Other amphipods conspicuous owing to their size are Stegocephahis inflatus, the extremely thick forepart of whose body makes it easily recognisable, Cleippides quadricuspis, with long spines along the dorsal portion of its posterior segments, Anonyx sp., Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Murray, John, Sir, 1841-1914; Hjort, Johan, 1869-.
