COPEPODS GATHERED BY ALBATROSS—WILSON 299 
bent into a half circle, and the thumb is short, straight, and blunt. 
Inside of the thumb is a longer curved process, transversely ridged, 
then an acute spine and a hemispherical process. The end segment 
of the left leg is tipped with two equal spines, with three other spines 
and long rows of hairs on the surface. The fifth legs of each of the 
35 males were apparently like all the others. Total length 4.10 mm. 
Metasome 3.33 mm. long, 0.83 mm. wide. 
Remarks.—The female of this species shows a great deal of varia- 
tion, and there might be an inclination to create several varieties. But 
since the males do not show any tendency toward variation it seems 
better to keep them all together in a single undivided species. A 
fully developed male and two females have been given U.S.N.M. 
No. 74182, and five females showing differences in the dorsal pattern 
of the urosome have received U.S.N.M. No. 74133. Figures 211 and 
214 are from immature specimens, figures 424 and 425 from fully 
developed specimens. 
PONTELLA SURRECTA, new species 
PLATE 29, FicuRES 426-430 
Stations 5110; 5262; Romblon Island, and Nasugbu Bay, Philippine 
Islands. A single female was taken at the surface at Rombion Island 
and three females and a male at Nasugbu Bay, southern Luzon. Since 
the description of this species was written, additional specimens were 
found from station 5110 off southern Luzén and from station 5262 
off eastern Mindoro, Philippine Islands. 
Female.—Metasome elliptical, two and a half times as long as wide; 
head short and very wide, with curved Jateral hooks. Fourth and 
fifth segments fused and somewhat squarely truncated posteriorly, 
with asymmetrical spines at the corners. The one on the left side is 
longer and wider than the one on the right, and both are lobed on 
the inside at the base and mucronate at the tip. The urosome is less 
than a fourth as wide and a fifth as long as the metasome and 2-seg- 
mented. The genital segment is three times as long as the anal and 
is turned upward at its posterior end into a dorsal protuberance as 
large as the segment itself. The protuberance is curved over backward 
and twisted a little to the left entirely concealing the abdomen in 
dorsal view. It ends in a point over the left caudal ramus, which is 
considerably smaller than the right one. 
The first antennae are slender and short, not reaching the center 
of the third thoracic segment. The exopod of the second antenna 
is very slender, much shorter than the endopod, and made up almost 
entirely of the second segment. Both rami of the first legs are 3-seg- 
mented, the endopod just reaching the distal end of the second exopod 
segment. The first endopod segment carries one inner seta, the second
