64 "ENDEAVOUR" SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



The first and second uropoda are small and have the rami 

 small, styliform and subequal, both finely serrate on the 

 upper margin. In the third uropod the outer ramus is 

 small, slender and shorter than the peduncle: the inner 

 ramus is much longer, three times as long- as the peduncle, 

 flattened vertically, the upper margin serrate or irregu- 

 larly dentate. (Fig. 7 fe). 



The telson reaches beyond the end of the peduncle of the 

 third uropod. 



Colour. In spirit, dull white, eye red, green according 

 to Stebbing. 



The single New Zealand specimen that I have is much 

 smaller, and is probably immature. It was obtained by 

 surface net in Port Chalmers in 1904; it is still greenish 

 in colour (mounted in glycerine jelly) and when alive 

 the eye was a bright red. The second gnathopod is 

 small and appears like that of. C. pusilla as figured 

 by Bonnier (1893, pi. 8), who says his figure is that 

 of an adult male, though judging from the "Endea- 

 vour" specimen it seems possible that his were not 

 fully developed. In the third uropod the outer ramus is 

 much shorter than the inner. In the "Scotia" specimens 

 from South Orkneys the outer ramus was two-thirds the 

 length of the inner. Probably as the animal develops the 

 inner ramus becomes longer in proportion.

Three specimens, the largest 12 mm. long. 



These specimens are certainly similar to those described 

 by Stebbing under the name L. aequabilis, agreeing in the 

 absence of dorsal dentation, but the species is, I think, too 

 close to L. brevicornis Bruz. to be retained as a separate 

 species. Stebbing mentions several small points of differ- 

 ence, and of these the first one, namely, the absence of a 

 projecting tooth at the lower bind corner of the first and
