Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. LE? 
not as large as in Chevreux’s figure, inferior margin without teeth, a 
very shallow emargination just before postero-inferior angle. 
Fourth peraeopod, 2nd joint with 14 teeth on posterior margin, the 
teeth indistinct basally. 
Fifth peraeopod, 2nd jomt 425 mm.x2 mm., basal portion of 
posterior margin entire, distal portion with 8 teeth, greater part of 
posterior margin straight, not slightly convex. 
Third uropod, the small 2nd joint on outer ramus much shorter. 
Length: 28 mm.; posterior margin of Ist peraeon segment to apex 
of horn: 5 mm.; first and second antennae: 10 mm. and ca. 22 mm. 
respectively. 
Colour: In spirit, yellowish. 
Locality: Cape Poimt NE. 4 N., distant 49 miles. 700-1000 
fathoms. 1? g. ss. “Pieter Faure.” 27/9/03. (S.A.M. No. 
A119.) 
Geogr. Distribution: Azores, 3000 metres (Chevreux) ; off south 
point of Africa and at New Amsterdam, 2000-2500 metres (Strauss, 
“ Valdivia ’’). 
Chevreux, in discussing the affinities of C. alicei Chevy. (l.c. No. 27, 
p. 6), says: “Il est également difficile d’admettre que le nombre des 
dents de Varticle basal des pattes de la 5° paire [3rd peraeopods | 
puisse diminuer au cours de la croissance de l’animal et que ces dents 
finissent par disparaitre tout a fait. En général, c’est plutdot le con- 
traire qui a lieu,” and makes this one reason for separating C. alicei 
from C. challengeri Stebbing. The present specimen, however, would 
seem to contradict this; moreover, Walker (1909, l.c. p. 327), in dis- 
cussing C. alicei, says the teeth are present on the process of the 
2nd joint of the 3rd peraeopod in the small specimen (3 mm.), but not 
in the large specimens (15 mm.). Unfortunately no descriptive 
account has yet been published of the ‘“ Valdivia” material. Since 
numerous specimens were taken by this expedition, it is probable that 
they will have some bearing on the question of the variation, accord- 
ing to age and sex, of these teeth.
