COPEPODS GATHERED BY ALBATROSS—WILSON 295 
Stations 14; 2396; 4615; 4692; 4952. Identified by Sars from three 
of these Albatross stations and one Monaco station and otherwise 
present only in the Carnegie plankton. Both sexes were briefly de- 
scribed and excellently figured by A. Scott (1906, p. 50). Figures of 
the fifth legs in both sexes by means of which the species can be easily 
identified are here reproduced.

Pontelia meadit WHEELER, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm., vol. 19 (for 1899), p. 180, 
fig. 17, 1901. 
Station 2396. A single female was obtained from this station in the 
Gulf of Mexico. Originally established by Wheeler upon specimens 
obtained in Woods Hole Harbor, it has been found also in Chesapeake 
Bay. When alive or freshly preserved there is a row of dark blotches, 
one on each segment, along the dorsal midline of the metasome. These, 
in connection with the shortness of the urosome, will ordinarily iden- 
tify the species. However, the characteristic spots slowly fade away 
in preserved material. The details of the fifth legs in both sexes must 
then be called upon to furnish the specific characters, especially the 
right fifth leg of the male, as seen in figure 419. In United States 
National Museum Bulletin 158 (Wilson, 1932, p. 154) it was said: 
“This seems to be a southern form that appears within the present 
area [Woods Hole] during the summer.” The discovery of the species 
in Chesapeake Bay and now in the Gulf of Mexico supports such a 
suggestion.

United States Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842 (Wilkes), vol. 14, pt. 2, 
Crustacea, p. 1168, 1853; pl. 82, fig. 4 a—c, 1855. 
Stations 8927; 4190. Originally established by Dana in the Wilkes 
plankton upon specimens from the tropical Pacific southwest of 
Tongatabu; later recorded in the Siboga and Carnegie plankton. 
PONTELLA PULVINATA, new species 
PuaTe 16, Figures 198-204; PLatre 19, Fieure 245; Piate 35, Ficure 532 
Sixty specimens, including both sexes, were captured in a surface 
tow off Robben Island in the Okhotsk Sea at an unnumbered station. 
Female——Metasome elliptical, three times as long as wide, strongly 
narrowed anteriorly ; head bordered on each side by a wide membrane 
carrying a lateral hook. The fourth and fifth segments are fused, 
and the posterior corners are produced into thick fleshy triangular 
pads, suggesting the specific name. These pads are assymetrical, the
