Thirty-three specimens belonging to this species were obtained from the plankton col- 

 lected at the following stations. 



Stat. 36. — Stat. 81.— Stat. 93. — Stat. 96 (day). — Stat. 96 (night). — Stat. 98. — Stat. 1 10. — 

 Stat. 11; 1 . — Stat. 118 (HENSEN vertical net, 900 metres to surface). — Stat. I2S(Hensen 

 vertical net, 700 metres to surface). — Stat. 133. — Stat. 138. — Stat. 141 (HENSEN vertical 

 net, 1000 metres to surface). - - Stat. 146. — Stat. 148 (HENSEN vertical net, 1000 metres 

 to surface). 



► The males and females can readily be separated from the other members of the genus 



by the shape of the terminations of the last thoracic segment, and by the structure of the 

 fitth pairs of feet. The dorsal surface of the body is usually quite black. 



Candacia aethiopica appears to have a moderately wide distribution in tropical seas. 



2. Candacia bipinnata (Giesbrecht).

Candace truncata Brady, 1883 (pars), p. 69, pi. XXIX, fig. 13. 



Candace bipinnata Giesbrecht, 18S9, p. 815. 



Candace bipinnata Giesbrecht, 1893, p. 424, pis, 22 & 39. 



Candacia bipinnata Giesbrecht & Schmeil, 189S, p. 129.

Candace bipinnata Sars, 1905 (b), p. 5. 



Candacia bipinnata Esterly, 1905, p. 195, fig. 45. 



Seven specimens identical with this species were found in the plankton collected at the 

 following stations. 



Stat. 129. — Stat. 203 (HENSEN vertical net, 1500 metres to surface). — Stat. 243 (HENSEN 

 vertical net, 1000 metres to surface). — Stat. 252. — Stat. 276 (HENSEN vertical net, 750 

 metres to surface). — Stat. 282. — Stat. 315. 



The very spiniform wing-like lateral projections of the genital segment, easily distinguish 

 the temales from those of the other species. Some of the 'Challenger' specimens that were 

 identified by Brady as Candace pectinata, and Candace truncata, undoubtedly belong to this 

 species. This is obvious on comparing the illustrations with Giesbrecht's figures. 



Candacia bipinnata has been recorded from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 



3. Candacia bispinosa (Claus). 



Candace bispinosa Claus, 1S63, p. 191, pis. XXVII & XXXIII.
