tows at these Philippine stations and, with those found in the Carnegie 
plankton, constitute the records from the Pacific.

Station [5155]; Sabtan Island, Philippine Islands. One female 
of this harpacticoid copepod was taken in the tow at the anchorage 
at Sabtan Island [and two other females at 8 fathoms at station 5155 
in the Sulu Archipelago]. According to Sars, it is not a strictly 
littoral species but is found also at moderate depths away from the 
shore and is thus liable to appear occasionally in the tow.

Station 2396. A dozen specimens of this species of Anomalocera 
were found in the plankton of this Albatross station in the Gulf of 
Mexico. 
Female.—Metasome elliptical, a little more than twice as long as 
wide and narrowed but little at each end. Head separated from the 
first segment, with a triangular front, a rounded knob over the base 
of the rostrum and a well-defined hook on each lateral margin. The 
fifth segment is also separated from the fourth with a large triangular 
spine at each posterior corner, the left one a trifle longer than the 
right. The urosome is not quite one-third as long as the metasome 
exclusive of the caudal rami and is decidedly asymmetrical, with four 
segments. The genital segment is as wide as long, with a broad 
lamina extending diagonally backward from the anterior portion of 
the left side ending in four stout spines, and a long curved spine 
near the posterior corner of the right side extending back nearly to 
the second abdominal segment. The abdomen is 3-segmented, the 
basal segment as long as the other two combined, the second segment 
very short, and the anal segment widened distally and incised on the 
posterior margin. The caudal rami are as long as the anal segment, 
the left one a little the larger, and each with five setae, three of which 
are on the outer margin. 
The rostrum is split nearly to its base with slender filaments strongly 
curved backward. The first antennae are filiform and reach only to 
the third thoracic segment, with short and scattered setae. The exo- 
pod of the second antenna is only a fourth as wide and less than a
