Extract

Details are presented here of four species of amphipod from Norfolk waters, including descriptions of Melita reidi sp.nov. and of Parapleustes sp., as well as comments upon an unusual young Siphonoecetes sp., and on a population of Amphilochus spencebatei. The Melita is very small, pale and blind, and apparently lives interstitially.

During a study of the amphipods of Norfolk (in preparation for publication) a species of amphipod apparently new to science has been found, and is described below; comments are also made here on the taxonomic characters of three other species found locally. The area concerned (including a station list) is described by Hamond (1963).
