The four pairs of swimming feet are very similar to those of Eucalanus attenuatus. 



Male uriknown. 



This species is easily distinguished from the other members of the genus by its strong, 

 well defined cephalic spine, and by the absence of segmentation in the exopodite of the 

 mandible palp. 



Specimens of this species were found in samples of plankton from the following stations. 



Stat. 141, 1 specimen. — Stat. 172, 3 specimens. — Stat. 184, 2 specimens. — Stat. 315, 

 12 specimens. 



Genus Rhincalanus Dana, 1S52. 



The members of this genus are distinguished from Eucalanus, by the peculiar beak-like 

 projection of the forehead, by the spines on the thoracic segments, and by the presence of a 

 fifth pair of feet in the female. Two species were represented in the plankton collected by 

 the 'Sibo^a'.

This species although not very common except at Station 141 and Station 148, appeared 

 to be generally distributed throughout the area traversed by the 'Siboga', as shewn by the
