Abstract: Symmetric Hilbert spaces such as the bosonic and the fermionic Fock spaces over some `one particle space'

K

are formed by certain symmetrization procedures performed on the full Fock space. We investigate alternative ways of symmetrization by building on Joyal's notion of a combinatorial species. Any such species

F

gives rise to an endofunctor

G_{F}

of the category of Hilbert spaces with contractions mapping a Hilbert space

K

to a symmetric Hilbert space

G_{F} (K)

with the same symmetry as the species

F

. A general framework for annihilation and creation operators on these spaces is developed, and compared to the generalised Brownian motions of R. Speicher and M. Bo.zejko. As a corollary we find that the commutation relation

a_{i} a_{j}^{*} - a_{j}^{*} a_{i} = f (N) d e l t a_{i j}

with

N a_{i}^{*} - a_{i}^{*} N = a_{i}^{*}

admits a realization on a symmetric Hilbert space whenever

f

has a power series with infinite radius of convergence and positive coefficients.
