lO SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. I28 



In the U. S. National Museum there are specimens from Big 

 Diomede Island ; Punuk Island, Bering Sea ; and Parlof Bay, Alaska. 

 Dr. Charles Chilton (1917, p. 75) says that A. eschrichtii is widely 

 distributed in Antarctic seas. He believed that A. macrocephala 

 Lilljeborg should be united with this species. A. eschrichtii reaches a 

 length of 34 mm., and has been taken as low as 400 m.

Material collected. — In 80 feet, September 9, 1948, i specimen. In 

 216 feet, 4.3 miles out, October 6, 1949, i specimen. In 175 feet, 

 4 miles out, October 14, 1949, 2 specimens. In 162 feet, 3.2 miles out, 

 February 18, 1950, 2 specimens. In 118 feet, 2.75 miles out, August i, 

 1950, I specimen. Dredged at 6 to 50 m., July 29, 1951, i specimen. 



This is the third record of the occurrence of this species, which 

 was described by Ernst von der Bruggen {y'/° 20' 30" N., 138° 

 47' E.) from 80 m. in the Arctic Ocean. The present records extend 

 the range about 67° eastward. Eight specimens were taken off Point 

 Barrow, the largest of which, a female, measures about 10 mm. 



Ampelisca derjugini, measuring 16 to 18 mm., described by A. Bu- 

 lycheva from the northern part of the Sea of Japan, appears to be a 

 synonym of A. birulai Briiggen.

Dr. Stephensen says that this is a circumpolar, boreoarctic species. 

 It dips down into the Atlantic to the Bay of Fundy and West 

 Morocco. In the Pacific it has been recorded from Japan by Derjavin 

 (1930, p. 327). The largest specimen in the present collection, a male, 

 measures 19 mm. It has been taken off East Greenland between 400 

 and 600 m.
