DISCOVERY REPORTS 



The femoral gland is quite prominent in small males (Fig. 44); in the two males 

 from WS 92 it is situated on a raised mound ^ (Fig. 44 a, c), but is much shorter in 

 one specimen than in the other. In the male specimen of the first Discovery Expedition, 

 described by Hodgson under P. fiiemalis, 1907, p. 19, the femoral gland is still shorter, 

 and in the male from St. 140 it is not visible to the naked eye.

The type specimen of P. hiemaJis differs from all specimens of P. patagonica examined 

 (i) in the size and arrangement of the spines on the ventral surface of the propodus 

 (cf. Hodgson, 1907, pi. ii, figs. 3, 30), (2) in having a very well-developed tubercle 

 on each lateral process, and (3) in having relatively longer and narrower vestiges 

 of the palps. Most specimens of P. patagonica have 2-4, generally three, very long 

 spines at the proximal end of the propodus and the rest are very small ; whereas in 

 the type of P. hiemalis (9) the spines on the propodus are all of uniform size. The 

 specimens from St. 140, however, exhibit an intermediate condition, the proximal six 

 or more spines being relatively long, the others decreasing gradually in size.
