Antennae of malewith penultimate joint of peduncle greatly enlarged and with sharptooth at distal end. Ultimate joint shorter, flagellum of two feeble, very similar in both Fig-. 37 Corophium cylindricum This species inhabits soft tubes which are found in great numbersin sponges, algae etc. They can easily be obtained by pulling apartthe pieces of the red sponge, Microciona prolifera, casttip on the beach. Length 5 mm. Color light, mottled v/ith gray. Found all along the shore. 3 CAPRELLIDEAAn aberrant tribe which differs from the typical Amphipoda inthe form of the body, which is either depressed or cylindric, andin the abdomen, which is rudimentary. It is divided into two fam-ilies, I, Caprellidae, cylindric forms, and 2, Cyamidae, or whale lice,which have a flat body. Specimens of the first family only havebeen taken. 168 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Family capi^kllid^^e: Amphipoda with a cylindric, flexible body. The head is fusedwith the first thoracic segment, though the line of fusion is indicatedby a suture. There are two pairs of antennae, the first pair thelarger. The gnathopoda are subchelate, the second pair muchlarger than the first. The next two p
