SecJcenberg, 1837.] In the other species of Cerafopffialma, the eyes are placed at the extremities of two long peduncles,formed by the lateral prolongation, like a nose on each side of the head. The body is naked, not in-closed in a shield, and annulated throughout its entire length. The females carry their eggs in anelongated capsule, placed at the base of the tail when present, or at the posterior extremity of the bodyand thorax in those which have no taU. Arlemia, Leach, has the body terminated by a tail, the eyes borne at the extremity of very short peduncles;the head confluent, with an oval thorax, supporting ten pairs of legs, and terminated by a long and pointed tail. 442 Artemia salhia, {Cancer salinus, Linn,, Montague, in Trans. Linn. 9. pi. U,) [the Brine Shrimp] is a verysmall Crustaceous animal, commonly found in the salt pans at Lymington, in England, when the evaporationof the water is considerably advanced. [LatreiUe observed that we were in possession of very imperfectcharacters of this little species. More recently, however, Dr. J. V. Thompson has minutely examined its struc-ture, and has traced the gradual developement of this singular animal, which, when full grown, is about halfan inch in length, with a highly polished surface. Nature having con-structed them with members solely adapted for swimming, they seemto be in perpetual quest of prey, gliding with an almost even motionthrough the water, and moving with equal indilTereuce and facilityon the back, belly, and sides; the shape of the animal, the
