On Amphipoda from the Auckland Islands. 33 



The unique specimen, a female, was brought alive to 

 Capt. Flower at Cairo five years ago by Ismail Bey Chakir, 

 and has now been sent to me by the former with the remark 

 that it may possibly be of European origin, the Bey having 

 bought the newt from a dealer in Vienna. But it is quite 

 distinct from any European newt, being more nearly related 

 to Molge crocata (Neurergus crocatus^ Cope, Molge strauchi, 

 Stdr.) from Asia Minor, and unquestionably represents an 

 undescribed species. 



The specimen has been presented by Capt. Flower to the 

 British Museum.

[Plate V.] 



On the return of the National Antarctic Expedition to New 

 Zealand in March 1904 the Aucklands were used as a 

 rendezvous for the vessels of which it was composed. During 

 the stay of the ' Discovery ' Mr. Hodgson took the oppor- 

 tunity of making a collection of Amphipoda, with the results 

 given below. The arrangement is that of Mr. Stebbing in 

 ' Das Tierreich.' 



Fam. Lysianassidae. 



Genus Lysianassa ?, M.-Edw. 



A single female or young specimen, length 4*5 mm., 

 remarkable for the structure of the third uropods : these are 

 small and have the peduncle elevated near the middle in a 

 subtriangular ridge ; the outer ramus is very small, with a 

 terminal joint, the inner rudimentary. The telson is square, 

 entire, concave, and curved upwards, with a spine at each of 

 the free angles. In other respects, as far as can be judged 

 without dissection, the animal is a Lysianassa. 



Fam. Pontogeneiidse. 



Genus Atyloides, Stebbing. 



Atyloides aucklandicus, sp. n. (PI. V. figs. 1, 2.)
