Remarks. In no. 7 the smallest^ is in the penultimate stage, the largest is adult. The 

 process of antenna 1 is considerably longer than in the figures given by Vosseler, and 

 by Chevreux and Fage. 



At St. 89 and St. 151 other (day) hauls were made in 1275-0 m., including horizontal 

 hauls 0-132 m., and vertical hauls at several levels down to 1000 m., but with negative 

 results as far as this species was concerned. 



Note 70 for St. 105 states that the blue colouring is due to eggs which are cobalt-blue. 

 The distal joints of peraeopod 3 were missing in the specimen figured. This coloured 

 sketch is reproduced here on PI. I, fig. 8. 



This appears to be principally a rather deep-water species (500-1000 m. or more) and 

 propagates throughout the year (Stephensen, 1924, p. 145). Ovigerous $? were found 

 in June and July (29°-46° S), August (12 N) and November (44 S) by the ' Discovery'. 

 The present material also appears to afford some evidence that the larger specimens come 

 from the higher latitudes (cf. nos. 3, 8, 9, 12, 14 and 15). 



Distribution. Mediterranean; Atlantic, 47°N-36°S; Indo-Pacific; Antarctic, 

 58°-66° S, 85°-8 9 ° E.

Occurrence: 1. St. 101. South-east Atlantic (350-400-0 m.). 1 99 mm. 

 2. St. 257. South-east Atlantic. 2 $<$ 9 mm. 



Remarks. The SS show no traces of the metallic sheen. It is curious that there 

 should be so few specimens in the present collection. 



Distribution. Mediterranean; Atlantic, 43 N-38 S; Indo-Pacific.
