fiH "ENDEAVOUR" SCIENTIFIC RESULTS, 



OEDICEROIDES ORNATUS, (Stebbiwj). 



Oediceroides ornatus, Stebbing, 1906, p. 270, and 1910, 

 p. 589. 



Locality. Eastern Slope, Bass Strait. One specimen, 

 about 12 mm. long. (Reg. No. E. 5356.) 



This specimen agrees with 0. ornatus in the shape of the 

 eyes, which extend to the acute tip of the frontal process, 

 and in the little process to which the ventral carina of the 

 rostrum is produced. It was obtained in Bass Strait near 

 where the typical species was collected. The segments of 

 the body bear rounded corrugations, but there is an absence 

 of the small tubercles which appear to be so marked in 

 Stebbing 7 s figure, the species in this respect being more 

 similar to 0. Cinderella from the Falkland Islands. How- 

 ever, the resemblance in the eyes and in the appendages is, 

 I think, sufficient to warrant its being assigned to 0. 

 ornatus. 



The species was taken by the "Thetis" off Port Hacking 

 and also from Botany Bay, New South Wales. 



BOVAT.LIA MONOCULOIDES, (Hdswell) . 



Eovallia Moiioculo-idrs. Chillon, 1909, p. 622, and 1912. 

 p. 494. 



Eiisiroides monoculoides, Stebbing, 1910, p. 595. 

 Eusiroides monoculoides, Barnard, 1916, p. 174. 

 Eiisiroides crassi, Stebbing, 1910, p. 594. 



Localities. Tasmanian Coast. Four specimens, the 

 longest about 20 mm. in length. (Reg. No. E. 5352.) 



Forty miles west of Kingston, South Australia, 30 

 fathoms. Two specimens, each about 15 mm. long. (Reg. 

 No. E. 4862.) 



Under the name Bovallia monoculoides or Eiisiroides 

 monoculoides a number of forms have been grouped, the 

 relations of which are rather puzzling. In the "Challen- 

 ger" Report, Stebbing described three species under the 

 new genus Eusiroides, namely, E. caesaris, E. pompeii, and 

 E. crassi. In "Das Tierreich" Amphipoda he united the 

 first two as synonyms of the previously described species
