This Pleuromamma proved to be almost as numerous, and nearly as widely distributed 

 as the previous species. It was found in the plankton collected by the 'Siboga' at the following 



stations. 



Stat. 17. — Stat. 40. — Stat. 66. — Stat. 71. — Stat. 75 (Hensen vertical net, n metres 

 to surface). — Stat. Si. — Stat. 96 (night). — Stat. 117'. — Stat. 118 (Hexsen vertical 

 net, 900 metres to surface). — Stat. 128 (HENSEN vertical net, 700 metres to surface). — 

 Stat. 141 (HENSEN vertical net, 1500 metres to surface). — Stat. 143 (HENSEN vertical 

 net, iooo metres to surface). — Stat. 144. — Stat. 146. — Stat. 148 (HENSEN vertical net, 

 1000 metres to surface). — Stat. 185 (HENSEN vertical net, 1536 metres to surface). — 

 Stat. 189 1 . — Stat. 203 (Hensen vertical net, 1500 metres to surface). — Stat. 204. ■ — 

 Stat. 216. — Stat. 225. — Stat. 230 (HENSEN vertical net, 2000 metres to surface). — 

 Stat. 243 (HEXSEN vertical net, 1 000 metres to surface). — Stat. 245. — Stat. 276 (HENSEN 

 vertical net, 750 metres to surface). — Stat. 304. — Stat. 315. 



The luminous organ in this species is present on the right side only. The left antennule 

 of the male is modified for grasping. The fifth pair of feet of the female is composed of a 

 single joint attached to a basal part. The apex of the free joint is furnished with three short spines. 



This species appears to be nearly as widely distributed as the previous forin. 



Some of Brady's figures in the report on the 'Challenger' Copepoda refer to Pleuro- 

 mamma gracilis.

This species although represented in fewer plankton samples than either of the other 

 two was moderately frequent where it did occur. It was noted at the following stations. 



Stat. 117 1 . — Stat. 118 (HENSEN vertical net, 900 metres to surface). — Stat. 128 (HENSEN 

 vertical net, 700 metres to surface). — Stat. 141 (HENSEN vertical net, 1500 metres to 

 surface). -- Stat. 143 (Hensen vertical net, 1000 metres to surface). — Stat. 14S (HENSEN 

 vertical net, 1000 metres to surface). — Stat. 184. — Stat. 185 (HENSEN vertical net, 1536 

 metres to surface). -- Stat. iSq". — Stat. 203 (HENSEN vertical net, 1500 metres to sur- 

 face). — Stat. 216. — Stat. 220 (Hensen vertical net, 200 metres to surface). — Stat. 243 

 (HENSEN vertical net, 1000 metres to surface). — Stat. 276 (HENSEN vertical net, 750 

 metres to surface). — Stat. 304.
