ART. 22 STEGOCEPHALID AND AMPELISCID AMPHEPODS SHOEMAKER 13 



Station 2466 steamer Albatross^ south of Newfoundland, 45° 29' 

 00'' N., 55° 24' 00" W., July 3, 1885, 67 fathoms, coral; 1 specimen. 



Station 2486 steamer Albatross, east of Nova Scotia, 44° 26' 00" 

 N., 67° 11' 15" W., July 5, 1885, 190 fathoms, coarse sand and gravel; 

 1 specimen. 



On the eastern coast of North America this species has been re- 

 corded from the Bay of Fundy and off Georges Bank, and there is 

 in the National Museum collection a specimen taken by the steamer 

 Fish Hawk off the mouth of Delaware Bay (39° 48' 30" N., 70° 

 54' 00" W.). Prof. S. J. Holmes has reported it from the Albatross 

 station 2055, 40° 32' 00" N., 68° 17' 00" W. The specimen from 

 location 83, off Halifax, measures 21 mm. 



Doctor Stephensen ^ says : " Some specimens from the Bay of 

 Fund}^, determined by S. I. Smith as the present species, probably 

 belong to H. tubicola." I have very carefully examined all the 

 specimens in the National Museum identified by S. I. Smith as 

 H. setosa and find that they are unquestionably H. setosa. I believe 

 that H. robusta is but a large form of H. setosa, but have hesitated 

 to place it in synonymy for want of authentic specimens of H. 

 robusta with which to compare my material. A. M. Norman ^ says : 



I have received specimens under this name \S. seios<i\ from S. I. Smith, 

 vphich were taken in the Bay of Fundy, N. E. America. I am inclined, hov^ever, 

 to think that they should be referred to B. robusta, G. O. Sars. They are the 

 largest examples I have seen, and in most points, such as the form of the 

 cephalon and of the third segment of the metasome, they agree with Sars's 

 species; but tl^e proportionate lengths of the joints of the peduncles of the 

 two pairs of antennae are different.
