A.mphipoda Hyperiidea collected by the ' Discovery.'' 251 



The above locality would appear to be the most southerly 

 yet recorded for the species. Vosseler (1901) reports it from 

 the S.Atlantic, but remarks that its occurrence there requires 

 further confirmation. 



Distribution. The Atlantic (Bovallius) ; Gulf of Florida, 

 N. and S. Equatorial currents ( Vosseler). 



Vibilia hodgsoni, sp. n. (PI. VI. figs. 1-G.) 



Locality. Lat. 30° 03^' S., long. 12° 50^ E., Oct. 1st, 

 1901 (near the Cape of Good Hope), one male. 



Body comparatively small, but compact. 



Bead (PI. VI. fig - . 1) fairly short, rostrate, having the front 

 recurved over the origin of the antennae. 



Cojcal plates rectangular, of uniform depth, those of the 

 third and fourth legs considerably shorter than the others ; 

 hinder corners of the fifth and sixth plates produced to a 

 point. 



Epimeral plates of the pleon with the hinder margins feebly 

 serrated. 



Eyes rather small, occupying the centre of the lateral part 

 of the head; corneal facets large and rounded. 



First antenna? (PI. VI. fig. 1) : first joint of the peduncle 

 stouter than the two following and longer than either ; first 

 (and only) joint of the flagellum slightly longer than the 

 head, broad, almost oval in shape, with a blunt apex, and 

 having one or two small setae on the inferior border. 



Second antenna; (PI. VI. fig. 1) five-jointed, having the 

 third and fourth joints the longest; numerous short setaa on 

 the anterior border of all the joints. 



First gnathojiods (PI. VI. fig. 2) simple, slightly shorter 

 than the second; basal joint broad, but linear; posterior 

 border of the merus and carpus bearing numerous small 

 setae; hinder border of the propodus serrated; dactylus 

 stout and slightly curved. 



Second ynathopods (PI. VI. fig. 3) with basal joint fairly 

 narrow and longer than that of the preceding leg; merus 

 almost as long as the carpus, narrower at the distal than the 

 proximal end, and with eight strong setae on the posterior 

 border ; carpus slightly broader than the merus ; carpal 

 process half as long as the propodus, serrated on its inner 

 margin and terminating in a small stout spine; propodus 

 almost as long as the carpus, the inner border serrated ; 

 dactylus stout and strongly curved. 



Third and fourth legs almost equal in length, having the 

 basal joint linear; merus long and narrow, broadest at the
