246 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



The ramus of uropod 3 bears four spines on its upper margin in addition to the 

 terminal unguis or point, before which is a short seta. 



The Gauss collection contained an ovigerous ? 8 mm. long, but no males. 



Distribution. ' Gauss' winter station, 385 m. 



Family PODOCERIDAE

Podocerus ? brasiliensis (Dana). 

 Stebbing, 1914, p. 373. 

 Occurrence: St. 51. Falklands. 1 immat. <$, 3 $? (2 ovig.) 4-5 mm. 



Remarks. All the peraeon segments tend to develop corrugations or humps, not 

 keels, especially segments 3 and 4 in the 6* ; pleon segments 1-3 also gibbous, especially 

 segment 1 in the c? (cf. Bate, 1862, pi. xlvi, fig. 8, darwini = variegatus). Second joints 

 of peraeopods 1 and 2 linear. Sixth joint of gnathopod 2 in $ broader than in Dana's 

 figure. 



The identification is not at all certain. The corrugated dorsal profile would seem to 

 exclude it from brasiliensis, and I would have suggested variegatus had not Stebbing 

 already recorded Dana's species from the Falkland Islands. 



Podocerus septemcarinatus, Schell. (Fig. 154). 



Schellenberg, 1926, p. 388, fig. 68 (paper received at Brit. Mus. June 18). 

 Monod, 1926, p. 61, figs. 59, 60 (hystricoides) (publ. August 20). 



Occurrence: 1. St. 182. Palmer Archipelago. 1 immat. <J 5 mm. 



2. St. 190. Palmer Archipelago (90-130 m.). 3 $$ 7 mm., 2 juv. 3-5 mm. 



Remarks. A figure is here given of the hand of gnathopod 2 of a more fully grown <$ 

 than the Gauss specimens appear to have been. 



The Belgica and Gauss specimens are undoubtedly the 

 same species, and I have to thank Dr Caiman of the British 

 Museum for informing me of the date when Schellenberg's 

 paper, which bears no date of publication other than the 

 year, was received at the British Museum library. 



The colour of no. 2, which were found crawling on a Fig IJ4 Podocerus septemcari . 

 colony of CephaJodiscus hodgsotii, was " Pale yellowish buff, natus, Schell. Gnathopod 2<y. 

 vaguely banded with orange. Eyes pink". 



Distribution. ' Gauss' winter station, 385 m.; 70 15' S, 84 06' W, 569 m.
