. Allan Hancock Pacific expeditions. [Reports]. Scientific expeditions. 174 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 5. Fig. 15. Pseudosquilla oculata, male, from Gardner Bay, Hood Island, Galapagos (Hancock Exped. Sta. 30-33, February 26, 1933). a. telson and left uropod; b. rostral plate. Distribution: A widely distributed species. Atlantic Ocean: Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde Islands, and Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil. Indian Ocean: Chagos Islands and Mauritius. Pacific Ocean: Bonin Islands, China Sea (Macclesfield Bank), Gilbert Islands, Laysan, Ha- waiian Islands, Samoa, Society Islands, Clarion Island (Mexico) (Rath- bun, Kemp, Edmondson, Bigelow). To the foregoing Pacific localities may be added the Tres Marias Islands, Mexico, from which a single female was obtained by Dr. Carlos Stansch, of the Direccion Forestal y de Caza y Pesca, in 1927, and a number of specimens taken by the Hancock Expeditions on the Pacific coast of the Republic of Panama and Colombia and in the Galapagos Islands. Size: Most of the specimens in the collection are quite small, but there is one large female from Osborn Island in Gardner Bay, Hood Island (Sta. 30-32), which appears to be the largest known representative of the species. In median length inclusive of the rostral plate, it is about mm. long, the carapace measures , the rostral plate 3%; if measured over the movable submedian spines, the total length would approach 89 mm. As far as I have been able to ascertain, the next speci- men in point of size is that seen by Miers^^ in the British Museum. It is also a female, and measures "3^ inches in length" (not quite 83 mm.). <» Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.
