The amphipods of tlic Smithsonian-Roebling Expedition were 

 taken in Corrientes Bay and in the vicinity of the Isle of Pines on 

 the southwest coast of Cuba, in comparatively shallow waters. Many 

 of the specimens were collected by means of the submarine electric 

 light, which was used at a number of stations with considerable suc- 

 cess. The Gammaridea are represented by 9 families, 10 genera, and 

 1 1 species. The Hyperiidea are represented by 3 families, 6 genera, 

 and 8 species. Two species, Pontogeneia bartschi and Ccradocus 

 shcardi, are new to science.
