STEGOCEPHALIDAE 77 



slight concavity distally which is defined by a rather long and stout spine against which 

 the finger impinges. 



Peraeopods 4 and 5, hind margin of 2nd joint perfectly smooth and entire. 



Colour (as preserved) yellowish brown, ocular pigment whitish. 



Remarks. This is a very interesting discovery because it is the first record of the 

 northern genus Andaniexis in the southern oceans. Strauss' record is open to doubt as 

 pointed out under Parandania boecki {infra). 



The white patch of ocular pigment is present and even larger apparently than in 

 abyssi. In the course of dissection an attempt was made to determine the presence or

absence of ocular elements and optic nerve, but for this purpose the preservation is not 

 too good ; and in any case sectioning would be the only proper and conclusive method 

 in such a small animal.
