126 DR. G. HERBERT FOWLER ON THE | Feb. 3, 
writer became acquainted with the recent work of Prof. G. O. Sars, 
who figured and described the species as Chiridius armatus. The 
writer has published reasons why this generic name should not 
be used (see Rep. of the Brit. Assoc. 1892, ‘‘ A proposed Revision 
of the Subfamily Aetidtine”), as it is not a Chiridius.” 
EucuIRELLA CARINATA Wolfenden, op. cit. p. 366. 
“‘One example of this species, measuring 3°54 mm. in length, 
was found in Dr. Fowler’s collection in the bottle marked 20. 
‘These new species will be described in full, along with the 
drawings, in the writer’s monograph which is in hand.” 
AMPHIPODA. 
T am indebted to the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing for help in the 
determination of some of these forms. Only one species occurred 
in sufficient quantity and with sufficient frequency to enable 
deductions as to its habitat in the Faeroe Channel being drawn, 
namely 
PARATHEMISTO OBLIVIA Kroéyer=abyssorum Boeck. 
I have already discussed the distribution of this form at some 
length’; to the records there given must be added two stations 
of the ‘National’ expedition—N. of the Hebrides, and S.W. of 
Iceland “—and 12 stations along the route of the ‘Fram’*. Canon 
Norman also cites Bonnier as having taken it at 950 metres in 
the Bay of Biscay *. 
It is apparent from the table (p. 119) that the species is a 
true member of the Mesoplankton in this locality, having been 
captured in 66 per cent. of the deep hauls; it rises to the surface 
at midnight, the only occasion out of 26 Epiplankton hauls being 
at that hour (haul 15d). 
CyCLOCARIS GUILELMI Chevreux. 
Two specimens of a Cyclocaris were obtained in haul 20d, 
between 500 and 400 fathoms. Mr. Stebbing informs me that 
they agree undoubtedly with the above species, captured in a net 
sunk to 600 fathoms near the Lofoten Islands by the ‘ Princesse 
Alice’’, the largest of the six specimens being about 12 mm. in 
length. My largest specimen, a female, would have measured 
about 20 mm. if straight. 
Another species of this genus, Cyclocaris tahitensis Stebbing, 
was described ® from a single specimen taken by the ‘ Challenger’ 
off Tahiti, apparently at the surface ’.
