SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 755 
Willemoes-Suhm writes : “ The blind Amphipod obtained [ = Lanceola sp.], with 
its plate-like eye-rudiments without optical apparatus, shows on the whole char- 
acters peculiar to the Crevettinse, but as its maxillipeds have no palpi it evidently 
belongs to the Hyperidse. It represents an unknown type between the two families, and 
is of gigantic dimensions (about 70 mm. in length). Gigantic Crevettinse were taken 
off the Crozet Islands, and in the Antarctic we obtained a very interesting Amphipod 
without eyes, in which the rostrum had apparently become a sense-organ, showing 
that Amphipods are affected, though rarely, in their organs of sight, like Decapods.” 
The Challenger remained at Banda from 2.15 p.m. on September 29 till 8 p.m. on 
October 2, 1874 (for description of the island see Narr. Chall. Exp., vol. i. pp. 561-569). 
During this time dredgings in shallow water were conducted by Mr. Murray from the 
steam pinnace; the deposit in 17 fathoms was a Volcanic Sand or gravel containing 
5 2 '09 per cent, of carbonate of lime. The following species are recorded in the Zoological
