.Q COPEPODA 



25 is 2'i as long as the 24 and I'l as long as the 23. The Le as well as the Re of the niaxillulae 

 have only 11 setae. The distal setae of the maxillae show indication of the curious structure found 

 in the full-grown. The pes I — III have the Ri II csj III and the Re II c«o m fused; the Re II <v) III pes 

 II has 3 Se and 5 Si; the Re II o-- III pes III has only 2 Se; and its Ri has 8 setae. The pes IV 

 has Ri IojIII fused with 7 setae and the Re I 00 HI has 3 Se and 3 Si. The fifth pair of legs is, as 

 shown in Ca/. Jinmarchicus, quite rudimentary. In contrast to the full-grown female a distinct pore 

 was found at the base of Se hasp. Ill of the pes II — III; in addition to this a pore was found at the 

 base of Se Re I and Se 3 Re III. 



Occurrence. This species has not been captured by the Ingolf Expedition, but the Thor 

 Expedition has taken it from the following stations 1904 and 1905.

Distribution. This species has previously onl)- been recorded from the great depths in the 

 Atlantic Ocean viz. from the west coast of Ireland as far north as 55° Lat North, from the North 

 Atlantic (c. 40° Lat N. 70° Long. W.) and the Mid Atlantic (c. 10° Lat N. and 20° Long. W.). As it 

 has not been taken by the Siboga Exp., it is rather doubtful if it is found in the Indian Ocean. 



Remarks. It seems to me scarcely doubtful, that the described species is identical with Brady's 

 Calanus princeps; this author writes: The abdomen is short, stout and three-jointed. The latter character 

 is certainly due to a mistake. His fig. 5 of the maxillula shows, probably wrongly, only 6 setae in Le 

 I and 10 in Re. As I have examined specimens, identified by Sars, it is scarcely doubtful that the 

 species is identical with Sars and Farran's Megacalanus princeps Brad)-. Farran has suggested, that 

 Wolfenden's Hcterocalanus medius is identical with Cal. princeps Brady, and I think he is right My 

 specimens differ from Wolfenden's fairly exhaustive description (1906 p. 27) in the following features: 

 i) Le I niaxillulae has 9 instead of 7 bristles and the 2 setae of basp. II are not "very short and 

 delicate". 2) the Se Re III pes I is placed nearer the base than the tip.

 BathycaUnnis. is M. princeps \ it is well characterized b}- its size and the curious hook on the anterior
