Extract

Some integumental organs of Amphipoda have been briefly described by Bate & Westwood (1863). Their diagrams are extremely small and, in some cases, inaccurate. Fleminger (1973) described the integumental organs of calanoid copepods of the genus Eucalanus. He shows that these are distributed over the body in a pattern peculiar to each species. Bate & Westwood do not mention patterns in the distribution of integu-mental organs in amphipods. They do, however, describe two peculiar structures in gammaridean species of the families Talitridae and Gammaridae; they do not mention these as occurring in any other families.
