tions; also found in the Carnegie plankton. The urosome is very 
asymmetrical in the female and covered with dorsal plates twisted to 
the right and ending in long acuminate spines on the right side. The 
spine on the right posterior corner of the metasome is very broad and 
bifid at its tip.

Caldera Bay anchorage, west coast of Mindanao, Philippine Islands. 
Established by Scott upon two males taken in the Banda Sea in a 
vertical haul from 1,900 meters to the surface. At this anchorage in 
the Sulu Sea the net was set at the surface in the tidal current. 
Male.—Head narrowed to a blunt point over the rostrum and armed 
with lateral hooks; fifth segment well separated from the fourth, with 
spines at the posterior corners that nearly reach the distal margin of 
the genital segment. The genital segment is dilated at its posterior 
end, and the second abdominal segment is longer than the third and 
fourth combined. The caudal rami are also as long as these last two 
abdominal segments together. In the right fifth leg the hand of the 
chela is rather slender but strongly muscled; the thumb is long and 
slender and curved inward; the movable finger is stout and more 
strongly curved inward than the thumb. At the center of the inner 
margin of the hand is a short process terminating in a lanceolate spine, 
with a slender spine at its base on the side next tothe thumb. The end 
segment of the left leg is tipped with three spines and has a pad along 
its inner margin fringed with hairs. 
Remarks.—As the female of this species is still unknown, it is of 
course possible that these specimens may ultimately prove to be the 
males of some species now founded upon females alone. Until that can 
be proved, however, Scott’s species remains valid.

Stations 4607; 5223; 5226. Giesbrecht’s type specimens came from 
the vicinity of Hong Kong, and these are the first to be reported since 
the original discovery. Albatross stations 5223 and 5226 are just west 
of Luzén in the China Sea, very near the type locality. The fact that 
this species does not appear in any of the plankton lists and that the
