"fl "ENDEAVOUR" SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



Local-it if*. Tasmanian Coast. (Reg. No. E. 5352. i 

 Ten miles North of Circular Head, Tasmania. 

 Eastern Slope, Bass Strait. (Reg. No. E. 5356. i 



Of this species there are several specimens, males and 

 females, from the localities mentioned. I give figures of the 

 iirst and second gnathopods of the male and of the second 

 gnathopod of the female, which will readily indicate their 

 structure and the arrangement, of the setae without further 

 description. In the male the palm is very oblique, while in 

 a form from the Gambler Archipelago referred to this 

 species by M. Chevreux, the palm is transverse. 



The species is widely distributed in New Zealand and 

 Australian seas. I have discussed its occurrence in New 

 Zealand in the paper quoted above. 



MAERA INAEQUIPES, (A. Costa).

Maera inaequipes, Chilton. 1916, p. 365, figs. 5 and 6, 

 and 1917, p. 19. 



Locality. Fifteen miles N.W. of Cape Jervis, South 

 Australia, 17 fathoms. One ovigerous female, 6 mm. long. 

 (Reg. No. E. 4842.) 



In this specimen the right and left second gnathopods 

 are equal, the palm regularly convex. The third uropod is 

 missing. I have recorded the occurrence of this species in 

 New Zealand seas and have made some remarks on its dis- 

 tribution and variations in the two papers quoted above.
