Tribe PHRONIMIDEA, Stebbing (42), p. 473. 



Fam. VIBILIIDAE. 



Gen. Vibilia, Milne Edwards. 



Vibilia armata, Bovallius. 



Station VIII. Surface : 1 specimen, a female, measuring 10 mm. 



Kecorded before from the Bay of Biscay by Stebbing (40), p. 31. 



Fam. HYPERIIDAE. 



Gen. Hyperia Latreille. 



Hyperia galba (Montagu). 



Station X, Seven specimens. The largest, a female carrying eggs, mea- 

 sured 23 mm. ; of the others 2 were ovigerous females, 16 mm. ; 1 a large male, 

 14 mm. ; the three remaining, 1 male and 2 females, Avere immature, the smallest 

 5*5 mm. in length. 



Gen. Euthemisto, Bovallius. 

 Euthemisto compressa (Goes). 



All the specimens were acutely carinate dorsally, but in many (cf. 

 also the specimen described by Stebbing (40), p. 38) the projecting 

 dorsal teeth were not developed. 



Station 1Y. Ten specimens ; 7 ovigerous females, the largest 5*5 mm. long, 

 1 young male, and 2 adult males, 5 mm. 



Station X. 42 specimens ; 36 females and 6 males ; the largest measured 

 7 mm. 



I agree with Tattersall (43), p. 36, in considering E. gracilipes^ ovmd,n 

 as a young stage of E. comjyrcssa. Both forms have been recorded from 

 the Western Stations by the Int. Council Investigations. 



Euthemisto bispinosa (Boeck). 



Station X. Two specimens ; ovigerous females, the larger 8 mm. in length; 

 the dorsal spinose processes not much developed in either. 



With this record it will be interesting to compare a haul made on 

 May 16, 1909, by the Huxley, not far from Station X., in 47° 47' N., 

 7° 44' W., when the tow-nets were choked with an immense swarm of 

 large specimens of this species. In this haul the females outnumbered 

 the males by three to one. They were much larger on the average, the 

 largest females in the sample examined by me measuring 31 mm. from
