is here represented by adults from off the Canary Islands, also 

 from off Marquesas Islands. Brachyscelus stebbingi Boone is a 

 weird-looking deep-sea Amphipod with enormous eyes which are 

 less than half so large as those of other members of the genus. It 

 comes from off the Canary Islands. Galathea balica Boone, the 

 only new anomuran in the collection, is a delicately sculptured in- 

 habitant of the coral crevices of Bali. 



The Echinodermata are discussed under Part II. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I am especially grateful to Mr. Vanderbilt for his unstinted 

 generosity which has graciously enabled me to prosecute this in- 

 vestigation. I am also indebted to Dr. Herbert Putnam, Librarian 

 of Congress, and his assistants, Mr. Martin Roberts and Mr. F. E. 

 Brasch, for granting me special research privileges in this in- 

 stitution. The photographs of the Echinodermata were made by 

 Mr. Ernest L. Crandall, of Washington, D. C. The line drawings 

 for plates 1 to 6, inclusive, also for plates 8 to 13, inclusive, also 

 plates 22, 24 and 38 were made under my direction by Mrs. Eliza- 

 beth M. Fulda, of New York City ; the remaining plates were simi- 

 larly drawn by two other assistants. 



As in the preparation of Volume V of this Bulletin series, I am 

 inexpressibly indebted to my colleagues in the Asiatic and Euro- 

 pean museums and universities, and to Dr. Austin H. Clark of the 

 United States National Museum, for many helpful courtesies.
