The Isopod Crustacea of the Barbados-Antigua Expedition 

 conducted by the State University of Iowa during the summer 

 of 1918, though a small collection, has proven quite interesting. 

 Of the six species represented, one, Exosphaeroma nuttingi, is 

 new to science; another, Porcellio parvicornis Richardson, repre- 

 sents the second record of this species, which was described from 

 a single specimen secured in the Bermudas in 1901. 



A single representative of the Tanaidacea was taken ; namely, 

 Apsiiedes espinosiis ]\Ioore. 



An annotated list of the material collected and discussion of 

 the new species is herewith presented. The drawing of the latter 

 was made by Mr. Seward H. Rathbun under my direction.
