COPEPODS GATHERED BY ALBATROSS—WILSON 305 
as the first characteristic of his new species, “Rumpf behaart,” but 
his figure (op. cit., pl. 41, fig. 47) does not show any hairs at all. Nor 
does it show how near the anterior margin of the last metasome segment 
is attached the curious “gekriimpten Fortsatz” on the right side. Both 
of these facts are clearly shown in the figure here presented (fig. 450), 
and two other figures are added, one of the grasping antenna of the 
male and the other of the fifth legs of the female. 
PONTELLOPSIS BITUMIDA, new species 
PLATE 30, FicurES 453-457 
Stations 5105; 5175; 5299; Port Binanga, Luzén, Philippine Is- 
lands. Both sexes were found in small numbers at each of these 
stations. 
Female.—Metasome elliptical, two and a half times as long as wide; 
head separated from the first segment and narrowly rounded in front 
with a small projection over the base of the rostrum. Posterior cor- 
ners of the last segment smoothly rounded and without spines or 
projections. Urosome, excluding the caudal rami, a little more than 
a fourth as long and less than a fourth as wide as the metasome and 
3-segmented. The segments are about the same length and width, 
and the anal segment is invaginated on its posterior margin. The 
caudal rami are longer than the anal segment and curved like paren- 
thesis marks, each with five setae. The entire urosome is perfectly 
symmetrical and without spines, projections, or armature of any 
sort. 
First antennae slender and reaching the middle urosome segment; 
the exopod of the second antenna is a third as long as the endopod. 
The endopod of the first leg is 3-segmented and reaches the center 
of the end segment of the exopod. The fifth legs are rather small, 
the exopods twice as long as the endopods, with four small spines 
on the outer margin, a large one at the tip and another large one on the 
inner margin. The endopod is bifurcate for about half its length, the 
branches blunt and uneven in length. Total length, including cau- 
dal rami, 1.77 mm. Metasome 1.30 mm. long, 0.52 mm. wide. 
Male—Metasome shorter and wider than in the female; head 
broadly rounded in front, with a similar projection over the base of 
the rostrum. Fourth and fifth segments separated, the posterior 
corners of the latter very asymmetrical. On the left corner is a 
short and blunt fingerlike process inclined outward, while on the 
right is a long sickle-shaped spine reaching the anal segment. This 
spine ends in an acuminate point and is barbed on the inside at its base. 
The urosome is 5-segmented, the first four segments about the same 
length, the anal segment longer. The second and third segments 
each project on the right side in a short rounded knob, which is con-
