NO. I POINT BARROW AMPHIPODA — SHOEMAKER 57 



Lawrence by the Cheticamp Expedition. In the U. S. National 

 Museum there are 3 specimens from Woods Hole, Mass. The present 

 records from Alaska extend the range of this small amphipod con- 

 siderably to the west. It measures about 3.3 mm., and has been 

 recorded between 28 and 113 m. 



Family TALITRIDAE 



HYALE, species 



A single male Hyde was taken September 15, 1948, off Point 

 Barrow, at a depth of 120 feet, and it appears to be the only represen- 

 tative of this genus ever taken on the northern coast of Alaska. 

 Hyale prevostii Milne-Edwards was recorded from Murman Coast 

 by K. M. Derjugin in 1915 (p. 451), and by E. Gurjanova in 1931 

 (p. 200), but these two identifications are undoubtedly incorrect, as 

 H. prevostii, being a temperate-water species, does not occur in cold 

 northern or arctic waters. The male taken off Point Barrow does not 

 agree with any of the described species of Hyale; therefore, more 

 material from Point Barrow will have to be studied before the status 

 of this specimen can be determined.
