AMPH1PODA. CHILTON. 



REPORT ON THE AMPTIIPODA. 



INTRODUCTION. 



The collection of Amphipoda made by the F.I.S. "Endea- 

 vour" contains thirty-four species, and although there are 

 only two of these that I have described as new, the collec- 

 tion is of very considerable value, affording- additional 

 information on species already known and particularly on 

 their distribution. The most interesting is Endevoura 

 mirabilis, nov. gen. et sp., which, in the greatly enlarged 

 propod of the first peraeopod, appears to differ from other 

 members of the Lysianassida 1 . The re-discovery of 

 Ephippiphora kroyeri, White, from the type locality enables 

 this fine species to be fully described and restored to its 

 proper place in the group. It will be seen that an increas- 

 ing number of the forms have been identified with species 

 previously known only from European seas and the North 

 Atlantic. 



I am greatly indebted to Miss E. M. Herriott, M.A., 

 assistant at the Biological Laboratory, Canterbury College, 

 for preparing the drawings to illustrate this paper and for 

 much other valuable assistance.
