(1902) recorded it from the Faröe Channel, but in a later report (1904) withdrew the record, 

 stating that all records of the occurrence of this species beyond 30 N. must be looked upon 

 with suspicion. The late I. C. Thompson (1903) records the species from the collections taken 

 during the cruise of the 'Oceana' in 189S, at stations in the Atlantic north of 52°N., and 

 Professor G. O. Sars (1905) records it from collections taken during the investigations carried 

 on by the Prince of Monaco. 



The very strongly projecting forehead, and the structure of the fifth pair of feet in both 

 sexes, are the chief points that separate this species from the following one.

Rhincalanus gigas appeared to be rather a scarce species in the area traversed by the 



'Siboga', as shewn by the following records of its occurrence.

The characters that are adopted to distinguish Rhincalanus nasutus Giesbrecht, from 

 Rhincalanus gigas Brady, are of so little importance that for the present I regard Giesbrecht's 

 species to be only a small form of Rhincalanus gigas. Bradv's figures appear to have been 

 drawn from imperfect specimens. Giesbrecht himself regarded it as possible, that the form he
