Galapagos Stomatopods 



Although the fact seems generally to have escaped notice because no 

 one seems ever to have taken the trouble to look up the precise position 

 indicated by Bigelow,^ he was the first to record stomatopods from the 

 Galapagos Islands, 3 specimens of Pseudosquilla lessonii. These were 

 townetted about 10 miles approximately N.W. of Wreck Point, Chatham 

 Island, April 15, 1888. 



Including Pseudosquilla lessonii, which ranges from southern Cali- 

 fornia to Chile, the Hancock Expeditions have so far been able to turn 

 up but 4 species of stomatopods from the waters of the archipelago. 

 The other 3 are : ( 1 ) Pseudosquilla oculata, a widely distributed species 

 found in the Atlantic as well as in the central and west Pacific, and 

 now, as the result of Captain Hancock's efforts, on the coasts of Panama 

 and Colombia, and adjacent islands; (2) Gonodactylus oerstedii, com- 

 mon in the south temperate and tropical west Atlantic and in the tem- 

 perate and tropical eastern Pacific from La Plata Island, Ecuador, 

 and the Galapagos northward into the Gulf of California; (3) Coronida 

 bradyi, a most unexpected discovery. This rare Atlantic form, at least 

 in the adult stage, has heretofore been known from only 5 specimens 

 from the Cape Verde Islands, from which it was described, and one
