AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER - 6 ^ June 1975 This time the Newsletter is fortunately not quite so voluminous, as it follous quite closely on A.N. 5aAlso I have not yet been able to get any response from Leningrad, and surprisingly and somewhat disappoin- tingly, no further reactions on Jerry Barnard's essay and David Wildish rejoinder in A.N. 4 and 5. For A.N. 7, I have been promised an essay on Blacf Sea amphipods and work being carried out in this area, by Iraida Greze and I shall, also try to get an eyewitness report from the forthcoming Garnmarus and Niphargus symposium in Schlitz. Again I must ask for extra assistance in the preparation of the biblio- graphy^ for many probably the most useful part of the Newsletter. I shall probably be away fro;a Tromso from mid-september to early november and thus can not scan the literature in this period. No news about the financial aspects of the Newsletter; many subscribers have paid DM 8-, which means A.N. 2-5, and I hope you will again pay your subscription in advance. Dr. W.D. Williams (Dept of Zoology. Univ . of Adelaide, Adelaide^ S.Austr. 5001) has kindly offered to coordinate payments For the Australian region, and I hope you'll keep him busy. The deadline for A.N. 7 will be 1. december 1975.

Carlos VARELA, Instituto de Zoologia, Universidad Austral de Chile , Valdivia , Chili, who hopes to come in contact with colleagues working on the amphipod fauna of his area and would be most grateful for relevant reprints. Wim Vader Acanthonotozoma Jean Just tells me that he has not got any responses after his request for material of Acanthonotozoma from Arctic and N. Pacific waters. Too bad^ f or his review is a very comprehensive one otherwise, and it would be a great pity if our colleagues in Leningrad, Murmansk, Vladivostok, Korea, Japan and Alaska had material of Acanthonotozoma , which can not be included in Just's revision, just because they have forgotten to send the information. It is for requests like this one that I hoped the Newsletter could be an important vehicle, but of course it only works if everybody cooperates. Wim Vader NEWS FROM COLLEAGUES Hans-Georg ANDRES: Sie haben angefragt, in welcher Zeitschrift meine Arbeit uber Nicippe buchi nov . spec, (from Jameos del Agua, Lanzarote) erscheint. Es sind die Mitt. Hamburg Zool. Mus . Inst. Ercheinungstermin ist wahrscheinlich 1975. Anastasiou ELEPTHEKIOU: Quite soon I hope to be able to work up some of the colossal amount of material we have from Scottish waters and let people know about our activities. In addition I have also managed to salvage most of two old but extremely interesting collections of amphipods from British, North Atlantic and Icelandic waters. One of these was Thomas Scott's collection which includes some very interesting specimens. Further informa- tion on these collections will be provided as soon as I find time to catalogue them properly. Tony FINCHAM: I am sorry to trouble yoii with yet another change of address but, hopefully, the Museum address above is permanent. I am working on larval rearing of prawns at the Museum, but I still have N.Z. data on amphipods to prepare for two papers. One will be jointly with Bob Cooper describing new species of phoxocephalids and oedicerotids , the other will be North Island amphipod ecology of sandy beaches. Mitsuo FUKUCHI; I should like to introduce my past research works. Graduation thesis Studies on Euphausiacea and Amphipoda collected by High-speed sampling from the northern North Pacific and Bering Sea ("Oshoru Maru" on Cruise 32, June- August, 1969). Masters thesis - Relationship between the excre- tion and grazing rates and the body size of zooplankton .And now, 1 am preparing a Ph. D. thesis entitled " Bioenergetics of walleye pollock larvae ( Theragra chalcogramma Pallas) in coastal water" . After completing my Ph. D. thesis, I will publish my gradua- tion and master's thesis. I will engage in a biological research especially on ecology of marine organisms, in connection with Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. I am interested in the studies on amphipoda, especially their biological significance in marine production systems, and in the energy in marine eco- systems . Traudl KRAPP-SCHICKEL .

Wim VADER: When in Holland a short trip this spring I worked up a small collection of amphipods from the light-vessel *'Noordhinder” (51°39'N, 02°34'E)» collected in the winter of 1956 To my surprise this ship had a most interesting fouling coirimu- nity, with Stenothoe valida , Jassa miarmorata and Caprella tuberculata as dominating species. Does anybody know of earlier collections of S. va-lida in the North Sea? A short paper on occurrence and ecology of the 2 Gammarellus species in Holland will appear in De Levende Natuur this summer. MAJOR AMPHIPOD COLLECTIONS After your positive reaction to the contributions by Torben Wolff (AN 3) and Hans Eckhard Gruner (AN A) I wrote to a number of musea and solicited further information of this type. Three curators reacted promptly and their notes follow below, while notes from the Hamburg and Oslo Museums are promised for AN 7 , I did not know where the major amphipod collections in India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and South America were located, but hope that our subscribers there will react spontaneously . Ins ti tut Oc^anographique , Monaco La collection d'Amphipodes du Musee Oceanographique de Monaco a et^ publid'e par Ed. Chevreux en 1900, en 1 935, et par J.M. Pirlot en 1 939. La plupart d'entre eux on.t ete decrits par Ed. Chevreux dans: Le Bulletin de la Societe Zoologique de France - Le Bulletin de I'lnstituo Oceanographique de Monaco et les Resultats des Campagnes Scientifi-ques de S.A.S. le Prince er Albert I de Monaco. Quelques-uns par J.M. Pirlot dans Le Bulletin de 1 ' Institut Oceanographique de Monaco. La plus grande partie de ces Amphi- podes ont ete recoltes au cours des Campagnes Scientif iques du Prince Albert ler de Monaco. Une petit 3 collection provient de la campagne de Ed. Chevreux a bord de son navire la *'Melita" sur les c&tes d'Algerie et de Tunisie. Une autre collection provient des peches effectu^es dans la region de Monaco, par le Musee Oceanographique. Tous les Amphipodes sant classes par nom de genre et d'espece. Je joins a la lettre une photocopie de 1 ' index bibliographique des travaux concernant les publications d’Ed. Chevreux, et de J.M. Pirlot, sur les Amphipodes, provenant des Croisieres du Prince Albert ler de Monaco (This list I have not copied, as most of the papers are well-known. Those interested can get a copy. W.V.) Les Amphipodes sont fiche'^s dans la nomenclature generate des Collections Zoologiques. Sur chaque fiche figurent le nom de genre et d’esp^ce, le numero de la Station (lieu de travail et de recolte en mer) , la dato, la localite, la profondeur, etc. Exemple : Cyclocaris guilelmi , Chevreux Stn. 945- 21-VII-1908 lies Lofoten; Profondeur: 1095 m G. TESTA Conservateur des Collections Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 The amphipod collections of the USNM occupy about 3000 square feet of shelf space. From 1910 until 195 8 curation of this collection M/as carried out by the late Clarence R. Shoemaker, and it is largely thru his efforts that the collection is so well organized and cared for. A summary of his work on amphipods is given by Bowman and Peterson, 1965, Crustaceana 9 : 309-316. When amphipod collections were received, Shoemaker sorted them by family or genus and geographic region. Thus material for family or generic revisions is conveniently available. The largest part of our collections is from Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America, but we have reasonably good coverage of some other region^ Historically, the USNM amphipod collection was build up from the material accumulated during cruises of the U.S. Fish Commission vessels Fish Hawk and Albatross , to which have been added the amphipods from various expeditions, some of them sponsored by the Smithsonian Institu- tion, and the contributions of a number of individuals and institu- tions. The USNM collections include type material of about 500 species. We are working to expand our holdings so that amphipod taxa will be represented on a world-wide basis, and we welcome the donation of specimens from amphipod specialists and will be happy to consider exchan- ges of specimens. We would be grateful if authors would send copies of their publications for our divisional reprint library. Specimens in our collections are available on loan to specialists. Inquiries on Gammaridea may be made to Barnard, on Hyperiidea to Bowman. Those who are able to come to Washington can be accommodated in our visitors' laboratory as space permits. Thomas E .

W;^1 pq BIBLIOGRAPHY As usual, this bibliography owes much to the help of Claude de Broyer and Jan Stock. Again I have a few important data on Corophium , this time contributed by Dang Ngoc Thanh and Donald McLusky. The latter sent the following two references: L. BROWN, 1971.

Reprints of this paper are in the possession of Wim Vader and Nina Tzvetkova, a copy is in the library of the British Museum, ) In a paper in vol . 6 (1967) of the same journal Dang described a further new amphipod species, viz.

(I have not seen Dang's 1967-paper). Of the books discussed in A.N. 5, Dr. John Luther Mohr, who according to Anatol Jankowski had "inverted the chonos tree" unders tandably wants to show he did do nothing of the kind, but his contribution has not yet reached me and will appear in A.N. 7.

(La morphologie generale et 1 ' organisation des appareils genitaux de N .virei sont peu differantes de celles de"ja connues chez les Amphipodes. Le cycle d'intermue de ca troglobie presente des par ticularites qui se resuments en deux mots: longueur et variabilite. La biologie de la reproduction supporte les metes qualifi- catifs; elle presente de plus une nette convergence avec celle des Talitrides terrestres. Apres la mise en point des methodes d' etude, le cycle fonctionnel des gonades de N. virei a ete etabli. II est, intrinsequement , tres sem- blable a celui des autres Amphipodes. Des points particuliers du PonC'iionnemen t du testicule ont ete signales don t le plus important est 1 ' augm sntation de I'activite genitale pendant le moi de Printemps, tout comme chez un organisme epige. Quelques anomalies ont ete'^ decelees dans ce fonctionnement , qui denotent chez N, virei le possibilite de periodes de blocage dans 1 ' elaboration des cellules sexuelles. Apres etude autoradiographique on a pu determiner que le testicule de N virei elaborait a partial d’une spermatogonie primaire un spermato- zoide mllr en 5 0 jours, duree considerablement superieure a qu'on connait des organismes vivant en surface.
