Exosphaeroma chilensis (Dana).

Sphaeroma chilensis Dana, U.S. Expl. Exped., Crust., p. 177, pl. 52, fig. 3 a-c, 1853. Exosphaeroma chilensis Chilton, Rec. Cant. Mus., vol. 1, p. 310, 1911.

Three specimens of this species were obtained at the Chatham Islands during the trawling cruise of the “Nora Niven,” and are described in my report of the results of that cruise. I had previously had specimens from Lyttelton and Auckland, the latter collected by Mr. Suter.

The occurrence of the species in New Zealand is noteworthy as another addition to the marine species common to New Zealand and to South America.
