sharp and even strong specific differences, proving that the four species are quite valid ; in 

 reality the males are very easy to determine by looking on the organs named with the aid of 

 a dissecting microscope magnifying 30 times. I have not yet examined my entire vast material 

 of the gi66a-gvo\\\) from the Atlantic and the Pacific, but the "Siboga" collection contains three 

 species, two of which I know from the North Atlantic, while of the real E. gibba G. O. Sars 

 I have only seen specimens from the Pacific. 



At present the genus Euphausia comprises the following 19 valid species hitherto 

 established: E. Krohnii Brandt (= E. Miilleri Claus -p E. bidentata G. O. Sars), E. diomedece 

 Ortm., E. mutica H. J. H., E. recurva H.J. H., E. brevis H. J. H., E. superba Dana, G. O. Sars 

 (= E. Miirrayi G. O. Sars + E. antarctica G. O. Sars + E. glacialis Hodgson -(- E. australis 

 Hodgson), E. siinilis G. O. Sars, E. crystalloropJiias Holt & Tatt., E. Incens H. J. H. (= E. 

 splendetis Dana sens. G. O. Sars), E. tcnera H. J. H. (= E. gracilis Dana sens. Sars), E. ]^al- 

 lentini Stebb., E. gibba G. O. .Sars, E. pseudogibba Ortm., E. gibboides Ortm., E. Siboga H. J. H., 

 E. vmcro7iata G. O. Sars, E. triacantha Holt & Tatt., E. spinifera G. O. Sars and E. lono-i- 

 rostris H. J. H. The "Siboga" collection contains 8 species, 2 of which are new.
