Antennule with peduncle unsegmented. Antennal scale showing four distinct terminal 

 segments, with one outer seta and nine inner and apical ; endopod nearly half length of 

 scale, with two long apical setae. 



Mandible very large, without palp. Maxillule with vestigial palp. Maxilla with four 

 inner lobes; endopod simple, with three setae; exopod with five setae. Maxillipede i, 

 endopod of two segments ; exopod with four setae. Maxillipedes 2 and 3, endopod long 

 and slender, of five segments ; exopod with six setae. Leg i , exopod with six setae ; 

 endopod small, unsegmented, with long setae. No other legs represented.

Stage II (Gurney, 1924, fig. 54 B). Length 5-45 mm., including rostrum 2-05 mm. 

 DiflFers only in having stalked eyes, and large supra-orbital spines. The endopod of the 

 antennule appears, and the telson has 8 + 8 spines. Leg 2 a small rudiment. 



Further stages of S. hispidus are not known with certainty, but the Discovery material 

 contains a number of late stages which may be assigned to this species with some 

 confidence. 



Misled in my own account of 1924 by wrong identification of the first larva, I have 

 suggested that Cano's first stage of S. spinosus may be stage II, but it is no doubt
