1 52 COPEPODA 



The male of this stage differs from the female by the fairly well developed fifth pair of legs 

 (text-fig. 45 1). 



St. III. Size of specimen from Ingolf SL 19 was 2-65 mm. long; anterior division (1-26 -|- 0-63) 

 = 1-89; urosome 076 mm. 



The rostrnm is less prominent (text-fig. 45 m), and the lateral corners are regnlarly ronnded; 

 the abdomen consists of two somites only; the snbapical seta is, as in f$, mnch longer than St. 2. The 

 antennulae extend almost to the end of the furca; the usual long setae, which are more powerful in the 

 segment 7, are found, but the number of the short setae is much smaller, as the fused segments (4^5) 

 (2<^3) have only a single seta, as the segment 6 — 10 do not posses an)-, and as Spr. is only found in 

 segment 19. No "^5isthetasken" were found in segment 12, but, as usual, in segments 5, 9, 14 and 18. The 

 measurements are distinctly different as the segments 19 — 24 are comparatively longer than in the pre- 

 ceding stages; the segments 24<Ni25 are 1-3 as long as segment 19. The mouth appendages are in the 

 main like those of the adult females, but the number of the setae is as a whole a little .smaller, f. inst, 

 the Re of the maxillulae has only 8 setae. The two first pairs of legs are scarcely different from stage 

 IV; the pes III has in Re II "^ III only 2 Se and 4 Si, and the Ri is undivided; the pes IV has Re I— III 

 fused with a basal Se well separated from two distal ones. 



St. II. Size of specimen from Ingolf St. 19 was 179 mm. long; anterior division (0-92 + 0-41) 

 = 1-33; urosome 046. 



The lateral corner of the anterior division is not regularly rounded, and the rudimentary fourth 

 pair of legs is found as a wing-like expansion (text-figs 45 n — p). The subapical seta (Si) is thicker and 

 longer than the St. The antennulae, which almost extend to the end of the urosome, have several of 

 the proximal segments (1 — 18) more or less fused. A long distal seta is found in segments 3'nj4, 6c:^7, 

 14 and 18. No "iEsthetasken" were found. Beyond the segment 18 the segments become suddenly longer; 

 the 19 is almost twice as long as the 18; the segments 19 — 23 are of almost equal length; the seg- 

 ments 7,\'Si 25 are 13 as long as 19. The mouth appendages show similar differences as in the preceding 

 stages; the maxillulae have onlj' 7 setae in Re; the maxillae are less powerfully developed, as seen in 

 fig. 3 f. The maxillipeds have only 2 setae in the middle of basipodite 3, as the median one is wanting. 

 The Ri possesses only 5 setae. 



The pes J is comparatively more clumsy; 3 Se are present, as in the preceding stages. The 

 pes II has the Re I indicated with well developed Se; in addition, 2 Se and 4 Si were found. 'Y\iQ pes III 

 is like 'Ca.^ pes IV oi the preceding stage, with 3 Se and 3 Si (text-figs 45 r— s). 



Occurrence. Davis Strait. The Danish Ingolf Expedition has in the southern part of the Davis 

 Strait as far north as 65° L. N. from ^s/e — "7? ^^95 taken 9 samples containing Euc/i. norvegica ; in the 

 following 5 a fairly big number was found. In the table (p. 163) a few stations south and south east 

 of Greenland are dealt with. 



As the species was found neither in any surface sample nor more north than 65°, there is reason 

 to suppose that the form does uot belong to the fauna of the surface, but belongs to the northern 

 prolongation of the Atlantic fauna. Propagation has been found to take place at the mentioned season 

 in this region.
