The new localities mentioned by me above are consequently within the region of distri- 

 bution jHeviously known. G. W. MCller's statement (1908, p. 67) that this species never 

 occurred in samples of the ,,D eutsche Siid-Polar-Expedition" from stations 

 south of lat. 43" S. is noteworthy (,,auch der Fang unter 43" steht vereinzelt da"). This writer 

 then adds: ,,danach scheint es sich bei dem Fang der ,,V a 1 d i v i a" unter 55" S. Br., der auch 

 ganz vereinzelt dasteht, um verschlagene Individuen zu handeln". The localities south of 

 lat. 43" S. given by me above seems to show with all certainty that this assumption cannot be 

 corrrect; cf. also the size of the specimens found by me in Antarctic waters with that of the 

 Atlantic specimens. 



Daphnoides group G. W. Muller 



{Conchoecilla C. Claus.) 



This group, comprising, in addition to the species dealt witli below, only two other species, 

 is certainly quite a natural one.

Description: — See G. W. Muller, 1906 a, p. 124. 



Supplementary description: — Male: — 



Shell: — Length: According to G. W. Muller, 1,4—1,55 mm. The specimen investi- 

 gated by me was 1,5 mm. long. Seen from the side it is of the type described and 

 reproduced by G. W. Muller. The posterior dorsal corner differs only very slightly in the 

 right and left valves; in the right one it is fm'nished with an exceedingly small point; just in 

 front of this corner the right valve is aimed with one or two more or less powerful spines; see 

 the accompanying fig. 1. The rostrum is symmetrical and of about the same type as is shown 

 in pi. XXXI, fig. 19, G. W. Muller, 1906 a. The shoulder vault is moderately developed and 

 weU rounded. The surface of the shell is bare. The sculpture and glands have been described 

 by G. \V. MUller. Seen from inside: The selvage is smooth-edged except along the 

 posterior part of the ventral margin of the shell, where it is exceedingly finely serrulated. There 

 is no hinge-socket or hinge-tooth at the posterior dorsal corner. 



First antenna: — This is of the type described and reproduced by G. W. MtJLLJiR. 

 E-bristle: Proximally on the anterior side this is bare or almost bare (a few exceedingly 

 short and fine hairs may perhaps be discovered with very great magnification); it is
