 Plesionika spinipes Spence Bate. 

 Plesionika spinipes Spence Bate, Rep. Voy. " Challenger," 24, p. 646, pi. 113, 

 fig. 2, 1888. 

 One specimen washed up on Terrace's Beach, Sunday Island. 

 It agrees well with Spence Bate's description and figures, except that 

 the serrations on the underside of the rostrum are smaller than those shown 

 in his figure. The " Challenger " specimens were dredged at a depth of 

 150 fathoms, at Station 219, north of New Guinea. 



Merhippolyte spinifrons (Milne-Edwards).

 Thomson, Trans. Linn. Soc, Zool., 8, p. 444, 1903. 



Four specimens from Meyer Island. 



These specimens agree well with Milne-Edwards's description, except 

 that there are 2 minute teeth on the underside of the rostrum near the 

 apex. As Spence Bate has pointed out, it is probable that by the ex- 

 pression " les epines suborbitaires " Mihie-Edwards meant not the short 

 antennal tooth, but the long spine on the first segment of the peduncle 

 of the antenna, and this corresponds to his description. 



I cannot reconcile Filhol's description and figure with this species.* The 

 figure distinctly shows a large supra-ocular spine, and looks as if it had been 

 taken from a specimen of Mope palpalis, and his description is not incon- 

 sistent with this supposition.
