No. 1598. A NEW ISOPOD—RICHARDSON. 69 
Only two specimens, both females, were taken by the U. S. Bureau 
of Fisheries steamer Albatross in 1884, off Marthas Vineyard at a 
depth of 1,525 fathoms in gray ooze, and one specimen, also a female. 
from southeast of Georges Bank at a depth of 1,769 fathoms. These 
specimens have been heretofore in the collection of the Peabody 
Museum at Yale University, and have recently been placed in the 
collection of the U. S. National Museum, where they have Cat. No. 
38528. 
This species differs from H'urycope fragilis Beddard,” Hurycope 
atlantica Beddard, and Hurycope caribbea Benedict,’ the forms to 
which it is most closely allied in the truncated character of the ex- 
tremity of the terminal segment and in the absence of spines on the 
dorsal surface of the body.
