pars) and the Monaco plankton (Rose). It has also been reported by 
Ksterly (1905, p. 219) off the coast of southern California. Dana’s 
original types came from the southern Pacific from within the cavity 
of a Salpa, one of the few instances in which specimens of this genus 
have been taken actually inside such a host.

Stations 25; 54; 78; 2396. <A single female was obtained in the 
plankton at each station. It is not present in any of the plankton lists 
but was founded upon specimens from Naples and has been recorded 
in the Adriatic plankton by various authors. This is the first record 
outside of the Adriatic and shows that the same species may be found 
also in the western Atlantic.

Stations 5232; 5553; 5578; 5640. Established by Scott upon a single 
female from Molucca Strait off Ternate Island. The present speci- 
mens constitute the first record since the original discovery. Hight 
specimens including a male were captured at these Albatross stations 
among the Philippine Islands. Since the females differ in minor de- 
tails from Scott’s description and the male appears for the first time, 
a full description of both sexes is given. A typical female and the 
male allotype have been given U.S.N.M. No. 74146. 
Female.—General form elongate and narrow, more than four times 
as long as wide including the caudal rami. Metasome about the same 
width throughout, the third and fourth segments with pointed pos- 
terior corners. The fifth segment is shorter than the others but extends 
outward on each side in a rounded process tipped with two setae, so 
that it is nearly as wide as the rest of the thorax. Urosome a little 
more than half as wide and, including the caudal rami, seven-tenths 
as long as the metasome and 5-segmented. The first four segments 
are about equal in Jength and in width; the anal segment is three- 
fourths as wide and twice as long, with nearly straight sides and 
reentrant at the center of the posterior margin, where on the dorsal 
surface are two dorsal plates, each with a central dark spot. Caudal 
rami four times as long as wide and tapered posteriorly, each with a 
nearly straight outer margin broken twice for the attachment of the
