Genus Eozinante, T. It. B. Stehbing, 1894. 



EOZINANTE FEA&ILIS (Goes). 



1866. Paramphitho'e fragilis, Goes (32), p. 524, pi. 39. fig. 16. 



This Amphipod was described by Groes as a Paramphithoe, but 

 it was afterwards referred by Boeck and others to Tritropis. 

 As, however, this name was already in use, Prof. S, Smith, in 

 1883, altered it to Bhachotropis. Along with these changes in 

 the name, the characters also of the genus had been modified 

 and restricted, with the result that Goes's species was dis- 

 inherited. Mr. Stebbing came to the rescue of this unfortunate 

 Amphipod and instituted a new genus {Itozinante) for its recep- 

 tion, where it now seems to be at rest. Tbe following are some 

 of the localities where Bozinante was obtained by Mr. Bruce : — 

 Oif Elora Cottage, in 15 fathoms, September 10th, 1896; two- 

 thirds of a mile south-west of Elmwood, in 20 fathoms, January 

 11th, 1897 ; off West Point, Cape Plora, in 2 to 3 fathoms, 

 June 22nd ; off Cape Gertrude, in 30 fathoms, July 17th ; off 

 "West Bay, Cape Flora, in 8 fathoms, July 23rd and 24th ; and off 

 Cape Mary Harmsworth, in 53 to 93 fathoms, August 7th, 1897. 

 Goes records it from Wijde Bay, on the north, and Stor Pjord 

 on the east side of West Spitzbergen, and also from Greenland. 

 Hansen records it also from Greenland, and Mr. Stebbing from 

 the Kara Sea (lat. 71° 19' N., long. 63° 34' E.). Its distribution 

 seems to be limited to the Arctic seas. 



There seems to be considerable variation in the length of the 

 cleft of the telsoh, in some instances it does not exceed one- 

 sixth of the length, while in others it is as much as one-third. 



Genus Halirages, BoecJc, 1870. 



Halirages ruLTOciNCTUS (Jf. Sars). 



1854. Amphitho'e ftdvocinctay M. Sars (66), p. 141. 



This species was represented in the Bruce collection by a con- 

 siderable number of specimens ; they were collected at various 

 localities during 1896 aud 1897, but chiefly in the neighbourliood 

 of Cape JFlora, near the western extremity of Northbrook 

 Island. The following is a brief summary of the places where 

 Salirages fulvocinctus was obtained : — In West Bay, Cape 

 Elora; south-west of Elmwood, Cape Flora; off Cape Flora 

 itself ; off Cape Gertrude ; near East Glacier ; off West Glacier ,
