Eurydice branchuropus Menzies and Barnard, 1959, p. 32, figs. 26, 27. 

 Materials examined: 7038 ( 1 ) . 



Remarks: The specimen was taken in La Jolla Canyon at 121 m, 

 which is the deepest and furthest north that the species has been taken. 

 Examination of this and other specimens, including the type in the Allan 

 Hancock collection, reveals that the uropods are truncate, not rounded. 

 This is different from what is stated by IVIenzies and Barnard (1959, 

 p. 32).

Materials exatnined: 6806(3). Three female specimens, two oviger-
