Chilton has given reasons for uniting all the above " species " under 

 the one name ; and has detailed the points of resemblance and differ- 

 ence found in a single specimen from South Africa. 



In order to facilitate comparison and show the range of variation, 

 the characteristics of other South African specimens are here set out. 

 Two specimens from near Saldanha Bay, but from deeper water than 

 Chilton's specimen, may be cited first : 



Size of eye, proportionately to head, as figured by Stebbing for 

 T. kercjueleni. 



Teeth on 4th and 6th pleou t segments well marked. 



Telsoii reaching just beyond middle of rami of 3rd uropod, outer 

 margin with only one small spiuule at middle and two between this 

 and apex. 



Side-plate 4 short, blunt, not acutely produced.
