Smith and Harger — St. George's Banks Dredgings. 29 



Diastylis sculpta G- 0. Sars. 



Loc. cit., CEfversight, p. 71 ; Handlingar, p. 24, pis. 1-9, figs. 1-49. 

 This species is not uncommon in Casco Bay and the Bay of Fundy. 

 Phoxus Kroyeri Stimpson. 



Marine Invertebrates of Grand Manan, p. 58, 1853. 



We have dredged this species in 10 to 29 fathoms in and off Viue- 

 yai'd Sound, on sandy and muddy bottoms in shallow water in Casco 

 Bay, and have found it from low water to 20 fathoms in the Bay of 

 Fundy. Mr. Whiteaves has dredged it in the Gulf of St. Lawrence 

 in 200 fathoms, muddy bottom. 



Our species is very closely allied to, and probably identical with, 

 the P. Holbollii Kroyer which is found in Greenland, Iceland and 

 northern Scandinavia. 



Harpina fusiformis Smith. 



Phoxus fusiformis Stimpson, Marine Invertebrates of Grand Manan, p. 57, 1853. 



This species is very likely identical with the II. plwiiosa Boeck 

 {Phoxus plumosus Kroyer), which has very nearly the same range as 

 Phoxus Holhollii. 



We have dredged our species in 20 to 60 fathoms, muddy bottom, 

 in the Bay of Fundy. Mr. Whiteaves has dredged it frequently, in 

 the Gulf of St, Lawrence. 



Stenothoe peltata Smith, sp. nov. 



Plate IV, figures 5 to 8. 

 Female. Eyes round and nearly white in alcoholic specimens. 

 Antennuloe considerably shorter than the epimera of the fourth seg- 

 ment; first segment of the peduncle stout, fully as long as the head, 

 the second shorter, and the third very short and like the segments of 

 the flagellum ; flagellum scarcely longer than the peduncle, com- 

 posed of about eight segments. Antennje slightly longer than the 

 antennula?; the ultimate and penultimate segments of the peduncle 

 about equal in length; flagellum about as long as the flagellum of the 

 antennulae. Second epimeron (figure 5) rudely ovate, twice as high as 

 broad ; third somewhat rectangular, no wider than the second but 

 considerably deeper ; foiirth (figure 6) very large, slightly deeper than 

 the third and a third or a fourth longer than deep, being about as long 

 as the first five segments of the thorax, the inferior margin regularly 

 curved and the posterior convex in outline. First legs (figure 7) 

 small and slender; merus triangular and broader distally than the 

 carpus, which is not quite twice as long as broad and has the lateral 

 margins parallel ; propodus narrower but slightly longer than the 

 carpus and narrowed distally ; dactylus about half as long as the jjro-
