present specimens than are Miers' and Stebbing's figures of those of australis. But 

 there are points in Bate's description and figures which preclude our identifying the 

 present specimens with his species (e.g. the shape of head and pleon segment 3). 



Schellenberg (19290, p. 280) refers austrina to Dana's fissicauda from Valparaiso. 

 Dana's description and figures are quite useless in such a critical case as this. 



I am not willing to identify these specimens with any Australasian species, nor with 

 fissicauda, until specimens from the original localities have been subjected to a modern 

 critical examination. It is better not to go farther back than Pfeffer's description, with 

 which the Discovery specimens agree. It will at least be seen that a confusion with 

 cape/i sis is impossible.

Schellenberg's remarks (1926, p. 357) on the genus Stebbingia hold good, and Pfeffer's 

 species is merely transferred to Paramoera. 



Distribution. South Georgia.
