AMMOTHEIDAE "3 



Achelia brucei, Caiman. 



Caiman, 1915, p. 61, fig. i6 A-C. 



St. 141. 29. xii. 26. East Cumberland Bay, South Georgia, 200 yards from shore, under Mount 

 Duse, 17-27 m. ; M. Small beam trawl: i ?. 



St. 371. 14. iii. 30. I mile E of Montagu Island, South Sandwich Islands, 99-161 m. Large otter 

 trawl: 4 ?$ with A. intermedia.

Achelia serratipalpis, Bouvier. 



Bouvier, 1913, p. 140, figs. 90-95. 

 Loman, 1923, p. 25. 



St. 195. 30. iii. 27. Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetlands, 62° 07' S, 58^ 28' 30" W, 

 391 m. ; M. St. Medium otter trawl : 2 ??, 5 ,^S (3 ovigerous), with NympJion charcoti. 



?St. 274. 4. viii. 27. Off St Paul de Loanda, Angola, from 8' 40' 15" S, 13° 13' 45" E to 

 8° 38' 15" S, 13° 13' E, 64-65 m.; gy. M. Large otter trawl: i incomplete ?. 



Distribution. The incomplete female specimen from St. 274 undoubtedly belongs 

 to this well-defined species, which has been recorded only from Antarctic waters. There 

 appears to be little but the exoskeleton in this instance and it is probable that the 

 specimen was captured in the Antarctic but may have been left entangled in the net for 

 some time. At any rate, the material is not sufficient to warrant the supposition that 

 A. serratipalpis extends from Graham Land, the South Shetlands and South Georgia 

 northwards into tropical waters.
