 Calliope laviusGu.Ia, Spence Bate (1862). 

 Calliopius laviusculus, Boeck (1870). 



Vineyard Sound and northward to Greenland, northern Europe and 

 Spitzbergen. In the Bay of li'undy specimens of this species have been 

 taken, with the preceding species, by the U.S. Fish Commission. In the 

 Gulf of St. Lawrence, similar specimens were collected by the Anticosti 

 expedition of 1861, at the Magdalen Islands (where they are said to be 

 "abundant at the surface of the water in the caverns under eroded cliffs)"; 

 also by the writer in 1872, by a towing net, at the surface. At Henley 

 Harbour, and Stag Bay, Labrador, specimens of it were dredged by Packard 

 in 1864, associated with Pontogeneia inermis. 



Family Iphimedicke. 



Lafystus stukionis, Kroyer. 



A specimen which Professor S. I. Smith thinks is probably referable to 

 this species, was taken by the U.S. Fish Commission in 1871, "from the 

 back of a skate {Raia lawis) in the Bay of Fundy."

H.M.S. Challenger, Station 49, (May 20, 1873) south of Halifax, Nova 

 Scotia, in 85 fathoms. Dredged by the writer in 1871, in 125 fathoms, 

 mud, six mile-! from shore, immediately opposite Cap des Hosiers lighthouse; 

 and in 212 fathoms, mud, off the east point of Anticosti, bearing S. by W., 

 twenty-four miles distant. Also, in 1872 and 1873, about half way between 

 Anticosti and the Gaspe peninsula, in 200 fathoms. A brilliant coloured 

 species, and one of the most characteristic amphipods of the greatest depths 

 in the northern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Sars says of it, " colour 

 a gorgeous red;" and again, "colour a magnificent coral-red, a trifle more 

 vivid on the posterior margin of each segment" (Stebbing).
