Remarks. An anterior fragment belonging to a young specimen. Neither the bran- 

 chiae nor the bristles are as fully developed as in the type specimen from Panama. The 

 skin is flaccid on top of the feet and definite branchial processes are hard to distinguish. 



It seems probable that this species is identical with P. bicolor, Grube, described by 

 Augener (1918, p. 119) from the West Coast of Africa. The finger-shaped process on 

 the foot, which Augener was unable to interpret with certainty, is present in the Panama 

 specimen and seems to be an undoubted branchia. 



The globular extension of the skin of the ventral side of the pedal lobe of the first 

 foot, which Augener figures and describes, is completely absent from my specimens. 



Family SIGALIONIDAE 



Genus Euthalanessa, Darboux 



Euthalanessa dendrolepis (Claparede). 



Fauvel, 1923, p. 114, fig. 42 h-o. 



Euthalanessa insignis, Ehlers, 1908, p. 52, pi. i, figs. 10 and 12; pi. ii, figs. 1-9. 



St. 283. 14. viii. 27. Ofi^ Annobon, Gulf of Guinea. 075 to i mile N 12" E of Pyramid Rock, 

 Annobon. 18-30 m. Gear DLH. Two specimens. 



Remarks. Two small anterior fragments. The Euthalanessa insignis, Ehlers, from 

 35° 2' S, 19° 58' W seems to me to be indistinguishable from the European E. dendro- 

 lepis. On the other hand, the E. insignis, Ehlers, of Augener from the Gold Coast is 

 a different species. According to Augener 's account it has a third cirrus on the first 

 segment. Gravier's E. djiboiitiensis has the palps lying outside the first segment and 

 apparently not fused with it. My specimens correspond in detail with Ehlers' description 

 and figures. 



Genus Leanira, Kinberg 

 Leanira incisa, Grube. 



Augener, 1918, p. 107, with synonymy. 



Sthenelais simplex, Ehlers, 1887, p. 60, pi. xiii, figs. 2 and 3; pi. xiv, figs. 1-6. 



St. 274. 4. viii. 27. Off St Paul de Loanda, Angola. From 8° 40' 15" S, 13° 13' 45" E to 

 8° 38' 15" S, 13° 13' 00" E. 64-65 m. Gear OTL. Bottom: grey mud. One specimen. 



St. 279. 10. viii. 27. Off Cape Lopez, French Congo. From 8-5 miles N 71° E to 15 miles 

 N 24° E of Cape Lopez Light. 58-67 m. Gear OTL. Bottom : mud and fine sand. Three specimens. 



Remarks. Four incomplete examples of this species, described by Grube and Ehlers 

 from the West Indies and recorded by Augener from the Congo. In these specimens 

 the ventral ramus of the feet bears in the middle one stylode of much greater length 

 than the rest : this is not shown in Ehlers' figures.
