Abstract
A DETAILED monographic revision of the l\ Phreatoicoidea, a sub-order of Isopods, running to more than 300 pages of text and illustrations, appears in the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania for the years 1942 and 1943 (published in 1943-44). The author, Prof. G. E. Nicholls, of the University of Western Australia, points out that the first detailed description of a member of this group of Crustacea appeared in 1894, and since that time many additional species have been discovered. The Phreatoicoidea, it may be added, are of considerable phylogenetic interest and importance. They are regarded by some authorities as connecting the Isopod with the Amphipod Crustacea.
