530 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



188L MosELEY, Henry Nottidge. 



Report on certain Hydroid, Alcyonarian and Madreporarian Corals procured 

 during the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger, in the years 1873-1876. Zool. Chall. 

 Exp., Part vii. London, Edinburgh, Dublin, 1881. 



At page 204, Mr. Moseley says that "in nearly all the mesenterial cavities [of 8teplia'no2yliyUia 

 formosissima] were found one or two small Crustacea (a Gammarid 1), which, must apparently 

 live as commensals within the cavities of the living coral." Three specimens of the coral 

 were obtained at "Station 192, off the Ki Islands. Lat. 5° 42' S., long. 132° 25' E. 

 129 fathoms;" and several specimens at "Station 209, off Zebu, Philippine Islands. 

 Lat. 18° 10' K, long. 123° 55' E. 95 fathoms." 



As I have not found any Gammarids in the Challenger coUection from the stations here 

 mentioned, there is little doubt that the Crustacea referred to belonged to the Hyperina.

" Many miles of galleries have been exp)lored, and no end has yet been reached " of this cave on 

 the southern boundary of Tennessee. The Isopod, Gecidutxa niclMJackensis, Packard, n. s., 

 is not uncommon in the waters of the cave. " The second crustacean discovered swimming 

 about in the subterranean stream, was a species of Amphipod belonging to the genus 

 Crangonyx, and which may be called Crangonyx antennatum Packard." The description 

 of pi. vii. fig. 2, gives Crangonyx antennatus. " It is a large and purplish species ; the 

 first antennas very long ; the flagellum with 20-24 joints ; the entire antenna being over 

 one-half, and nearly two-thirds as long as the body ; the last joint of the peduncle being 

 slightly more than half as long as the penultimate joint." A comparison of it is made with 

 Crangonyx gracilis, Smith. " It is very different from C. vitreus Cope, of Mam m oth Cave, 

 and from C packardii Smith, differing in its distinct eyes, and larger, more numerously 

 jointed antennte."

Preliminary notice of the Crustacea dredged, in 64 to 325 fathoms, off the 

 south coast of New England, by the United States Fish Commission in 1880. 

 Proceedings of the National Museum ; Washington. Vol. III. for 1880, January, 

 1881. pp. 413-452. 



Among the Amphipoda, pages 447-452, is described " Neohela phasma, sp. nov. — Neoliela, nom. 

 nov., vice Hela Boeck, prseoc." " This species is apparently very closely alhed to N. 

 monsfrosa Boeck, but has well-developed eyes, and the propodus in the second pair of 

 gnathopods is different in form, besides other shght differences." Altogether seven species 

 of Amphipoda are here recorded.
