60 "ENDEAVOUR" SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



Localities. Tasmanian Coast and Eastern Slope, Bass 

 Strait. Three specimens. (Reg. Nos. E. 5352 and E. 5356.) 



Forty miles west of Kingston, South Australia, 30 

 fathoms. Several specimens. (Reg. No. E. 4862.) 



I am referring these specimens to the species mentioned 

 above, which is of world-wide distribution. To the 

 synonyms previously given Barnard has definitely added 

 L. commensalis Haswell and L. niiersi Stebbing, which I had 

 also done in my MS. notes before I received Mr. Barnard's 

 paper. 



COLOMASTIX BRAZIEIRI, HaSWfll. 



(Pig. 7 a-h.) 



Colomastix brazieri, Haswell, 1880ft, p. 341, pi. 22, 

 fig. 4. 



Colomastix brazieri, Stebbing, 1906, p. 206. 

 brazieri, Chilton, 1912, p. 484. 



One specimen, male, about 6 mm. long, exact locality not 

 recorded. 



Distribution. Australia, New Zealand, South Orkneys. 



As this species is as yet only imperfectly known and 

 belongs to a peculiar genus, the following description of the 

 single specimen obtained by the "Endeavour" may be 

 acceptable. 



The general shape of the body agrees with Haswell 's 

 description, and is shown in Fig. 7 a; the back is smooth; 

 the side plates are all shallow and present no peculiarity. 



The antennae (Fig. 7 b) are stout, pediform, the fiagel- 

 lum being vestigial in both. The first antenna has the first 

 joint about the same length as the second, both end in sub- 

 acute teeth and sharp spines above and below, and bear a 

 row of spinnles on the under surface, in the first segment 

 the under surface being concave with spines along both 

 margins; the third joint is considerably shorter than the 

 second, but ends similarly with spines. The flagellum is 

 represented only by one or two minute joints, the first one 

 being produced to an acute point reaching to the end of the
