BARBADOS-ANTIGUA REPORTS 101 



9. Orchestia platensis Kroyer 

 Station 1, one mile S. W. of Pelican Island, Barbados, 



May 13, 1918, 38 fms. 1 specimen 



Beach near Pelican Island, Barbados, ^lay 27, 1918. 10 specimens 



This Amphipod has been found upon the beaches of nearly all 

 the temperate and tropical regions of the earth ; this, however, is 

 the first record for Barbados. 



10. Lembos concavus Stout 

 Pelican Island, Barbados, May 13, 1918. 17 specimens 



In 1913 Vinnie Ream Stout described this species from Laguna 

 Beach, California. The specimens taken at Barbados are smaller 

 but agree verj' well with the description. This is the first ap- 

 pearance of this species on the east coast of America. 



11. EURYSTHEUS LIN A Kuukcl 



Pelican Island, Barbados, May 13, 1918. 35 specimens 



The first specimens of this species were found at Bermuda in 

 1903 and described by B. W. Kunkel in 1910. Specimens have 

 been taken also at Tortugas, Florida, and Porto Rico and this 

 record from Barbados extends the range much to the south. 



12. EURYSTHEUS, SpCcicS 



Station 1, one mile S. W. of Pelican Island, Barbados. 



May 13, 1918, 38 fathoms. 1 specimen 



This single, female specimen is in too imperfect a condition 



for specific identification. 



13. Chevalia aviculae Walker 

 Pelican Island, Barbados, May 13, 1918. 18 specimens 



This species was found by Herdman and Hornell at Ceylon in 

 pearl oyster washings, and described by A. 0. Walker in 1904. 

 It was later taken at Saya de Malha Bank, Cargados Islands, 

 and South Africa. Walker thinks this is probably a tube-build- 

 ing species but nothing yet is known of its habits. The species 

 described by Arthur S. Pearse as Chevalia mexicana in 1912 

 from the Gulf of Mexico will probably prove to be the same as 

 Walker's species. This is the first record for Barbados.
