Assize increases, length of antenna 2 approaches the length of antenna 1,and in males between 7.00 and 7.50 mm both antennae become aboutequal in length.

Regression line calculated by the leastsquares method.) SUBTERRANEAN AMPHIPOD STYGONECTES 65 have tlie second antennae longer than the first antennae, and in verylarge males the former may appreciably exceed the latter in length asshown. In the largest males examined (16.50 mm) the secondantennae were 27 percent longer than the first antennae. But onlytwo specimens were found which had attained this length; the majorityof males were much smaller and the largest otherwise was only12.00 mm. Type locality.—Bog in Burleith Woods, Glover Archbold Park-way, Washmgton, D.C. A small stream flowing through BurleithWoods is fed by a mnnber of small subterranean seeps which eitherflow directly into this creek or form swamps and bogs along
