CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. 2 I 



this regard. My figures show the slight variation in the curvature, thickness etc. of the eye-stalks, 

 which are all of course without any trace of a cornea; they further show the granular structure 

 correctly, as I have given the granular according to the right number and relative size. The differences 

 in these regards between Laukester's figures and mine I ascribe unhesitatively to imperfections in the 

 former, as there is not the least doubt that Laukester's specimens of C. Normani and mine belong to 

 the same species. On the other hand, Doflein is quite wrong in considering C. Normani a sub-species 

 of ( '. granulattis.

Occurrence. The "Ingolf" has taken this species at 3 stations. 



Davis Straits: St. 25: 63' 30' N. L., 54 25' W. L., 582 fm., temp. 3-3°; 1 gigantic specimen. 



South of West Iceland: St. 68: 62° 06' N. L., 22° 30' W. L., 843 fm., temp. 3-4°; 1 very small spec. 

 - - - 40: 62° 00' 2i c 36' — 845 — 3-3°; 1 



Distribution. The type specimens of the French authors were taken near Newfoundland 

 in 674 fm. The species has several times been found off the east coast of America, but being con- 

 fused by Smith with L. Agassizii I am unable to see everywhere which species he had from any given 

 locality, and will therefore restrict myself to saying, that it was taken at any rate at 39 1 / 2 ° N. L., 41V2 

 N. L- and at intermediate places off the east coast mentioned in depths from 410 to 1230 fm. 



Remarks. In the largest specimen from St. 25 the carapace, excluding the spine- or process- 

 like rostrum, is 104 mm. long and 91 mm. broad; the fourth thoracic leg 308 mm. from the base of 

 the coxa to the tip. The spines on the thorax must have been for the most part extremely long, but 

 the long ones are all broken; the longest fragment is however 26 mm.; the number and position of 

 the spines agree with the figures in the literature by S. I. Smith and A. Milne-Edwards & E. L. Bouvier, 

 but it should be remarked that there are several short, conical tubercles or small processes more 

 or less close to the margin of the carapace and on the upper surface some low tubercles which 

 must be regarded as rudimentary spines. — In the two small specimens the carapace is respectively 

 ca. 7 and 8 mm., apart from the long process of the rostrum; they are typically developed specimens 

 of N. Grimaldii, but it should be remarked that in the larger specimen, the carapace has some fairly 

 short to quite short spines chiefly on its posterior half between the long spines and at the margin 

 (almost as Smith's fig. 2 in Rep. U. S. Comm. Fish and Fisheries for 1885, PI. Ill), while in the smaller 

 specimen only the posterior margin and a small part of the lateral margin of the carapace — but not 

 the upper surface — have some short spines between the long.
