collected during the Cruise of the § Oceana.’ 231 
Tt will be observed that the size of the ‘Oceana’ specimens 
increases with the depth, which would seem to indicate that 
in November the young were still descending. None of the 
specimens was provided with a “ house.” 
Brachyscelus mediterraneus (Claus). 
Six young, the largest 8 millim. long, from 650 fath. The 
type specimen measured 2 inch. 
Net 2 a, 270 fath. ; 2g (2 specimens), 650 fath.; 4h, 1470 
fath.; 56, 500 fath.; 6 a, 150 fath. 
This species is considered by Canon A. M. Norman (Ann. 
& Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. v., Jan. 1900, p. 184) to be 
identical with B. crusculum, Sp. Bate. 
Scina Rattrayi, Stebbing. 
Scina Raittrayi, Stebbing, Trans. Zool. Soc. London, 1895, vol. xiii, 
p. 358, pl. lili. a. 
Several specimens, the largest being 4 millim. long, in- 
cluding the upper antenneze. 
The specimen described by Mr. Stebbing (who has kindly 
verified these for me) was taken “ from a depth of 360 fath. 
mer Oe Mei lat. Wo 55! N.. long. 59 55’ K. Its nearest 
ally is S. Tullbergi (Bovallius), taken off Cape Horn. It 
may be distinguished from the northern species as follows :— 
From 8. Sarst (Bov.) by the comparative shortness of its 
upper antenne, and from S. Clausii (Bov.) and S. borealis 
(G. O. Sars) by the second joint of the third pekegyous 
(fifth legs) being serrate on the Aind margin only. 
Nets 2f, 44,5 6,5, 5h, 5s, Of, 69, 500-1670 fath. 
Also taken by the Prince of Monaco in 1888 in lat. 47° 42’ 
N., long. 19° 30’ W. (Chevreux, Amphipodes de ‘l’Hiron- 
delle,’ p. 123), depth 781 m. . 
Scina marginata (Bov.). 
One young, length including antennz 3°5 millim. 
Distinguished by the few teeth on the front margin of the 
stout second joint of the third perzeopods and by the thick, 
“almost tumid” (Bov.), distal joints and short curved 
dactyli of the last two pairs. 
Previously recorded only from Messina (since the above 
was written recorded by Chevreux, /. ¢., from lat. 47° 38’ N., 
long. 22° 13’ W., depth 1300 m.).
