COPEPODS GATHERED BY ALBATROSS—WILSON 331 
Remarks.—All the specimens thus far obtained have been females; 
the male still remains unknown. The female can be recognized by its 
large size, robust form, by the absence of a frontal crest, and by the 
details of the fifth legs. Scott called attention also to the row of small 
teeth along the outer margin of the terminal spines of the exopods of 
the swimming legs. These Albatross specimens agree exactly in size 
with the type specimens described by Scott. The smaller size given 
by Farran (1929, p. 246) was doubtless due to the fact that his speci- 
mens were not fully grown, since he states that half of them were still 
in stage V. 
SCAPHOCALANUS SUBBREVICORNIS (Wolfenden) 
PLATE 34, Ficure 518 
Amallophora subbrevicornis WOLFENDEN, Deutsche Siidpolar Exped., 1901-03, 
vol. 12, Zool., vol. 4, fase. 4, p. 262, fig. 37, a—-c, 1911. 
Stations 3799; 5233. Established by Wolfenden upon two female 
specimens in a vertical haul from a depth of 1,200 meters in the 
Antarctic Ocean and placed in the genus Amallophora. Eight fe- 
males were reported by Farran (1929, p. 249) from two vertical hauls 
of 400 and 1,000 meters in the Antarctic. The species did not appear 
in any of the plankton lists, and the foregoing are the only specimens 
reported since these records were made. The fifth legs of one of the 
Albatross specimens are shown in figure 518, and it can be seen that 
they correspond with those figured by Wolfenden and Farran except 
in one particular. At the inner distal corner of the second segment is 
a short bluntly rounded process that does not appear in the other 
figures. This may well be the rudiment of an endopod that will dis- 
appear later. 
Genus SCOLECITHRICELLA Sars, 1902 
SCOLECITHRICELLA ABYSSALIS (Giesbrecht) 
PLATE 34, FIGURE 519 
Scolecithriz abyssalis GresprecHtT, Atti Accad. Lincei, Rome, ser. 4, vol. 4, sem. 2, 
p. 838, 1888; Fauna und Flora des Golfes von Neapel, monogr. 19, pp. 266, 
284, pl. 18, figs. 15, 40; pl. 37, fig. 7, 1892. 
Stations 4652; 5129; 51853; 5190; 5231; 5263; 5320. Established by 
Giesbrecht upon specimens from the tropical Pacific in vertical hauls 
from depths of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. Found at eight stations in the 
Siboga plankton, at a single station in the Monaco plankton, and at 
ten stations in the Carnegie plankton; all these tows were vertical 
hauls from considerable depths. These Albatross specimens were also 
obtained in vertical hauls from depths varying from 65 to 550 fathoms. 
It seems, therefore, that the specific name of the species is well de- 
served and that it is not likely to be found at the surface.
