126 DR. G. HERBERT FOWLER ON THE [Feb. 3, 



writer became acquainted with the recent work of Prof. G. 0. Sars, 

 who figured and described the species as Chiridius armatus. The 

 writer has published reasons why this generic name should not 

 be used (see E-ep. of the Brit. Assoc. 1892, " A proposed Revision 

 of the Subfamily Aetidiince "), as it is not a Chiridius" 



EUCHIRELLA CARINATA Wolfenden, op. cit. p. 366. 



" One example of this species, measuring 3'54 mm. in length, 

 was found in Dr. Fowler's collection in the bottle marked 20. 



" These new species will be described in full, along with the 

 drawings, in the writer's monograph which is in hand." 



AMPHIPODA. 



I am indebted to the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing for help in the 

 determination of some of these forms. Only one species occurred 

 in sufficient quantity and with sufficient frequency to enable 

 deductions as to its habitat in the Faeroe Channel being drawn, 

 namely 



PARATHEMISTO OBLIVIA Kroyer = abyssorum Boeck. 



I have already discussed the distribution of this form at some 

 length x ; to the records there given must be added two stations 

 of the 'National' expedition N. of the Hebrides, and S.W. of 

 Iceland 2 and 1 2 stations along the route of the ' Fram ' 3 . Canon 

 Norman ajso cites Bonnier as having taken it at 950 metres in 

 the Bay of Biscay 4 . 



It is apparent from the table (p. 119) that the species is a 

 true member of the Mesoplankton in this locality, having been 

 captured in 66 per cent, of the deep hauls ; it rises to the surface 

 at midnight, the only occasion out of 26 Epiplankton hauls being 

 at that hour (haul 15 d). 



CYCLOCARIS GUILELMI Chevreux. 



Two specimens of a Cyclocaris were obtained in haul 20 <Z, 

 between 500 and 400 fathoms. Mr. Stebbing informs me that 

 they agree undoubtedly with the above species, captured in a net 

 sunk to 600 fathoms near the Lofoten Islands by the * Princesse 

 Alice ' 5 , the largest of the six specimens being about 1 2 mm. in 

 length. My largest specimen, a female, would have measured 

 about 20 mm. if straight. 



Another species of this genus, Cyclocaris tahitensis Stebbing, 

 was described 6 from a single specimen taken by the ' Challenger ' 

 off Tahiti, apparently at the surface 7 .
