52 Dr. T. Scott on Crustacea found in the 



60° 40' S., long. 40° 3.5' W., on March 10th, 1908. The 

 contents of the gizzard of this Cephalopod, as stated above, 

 consisted for the most part of fragments representing different 

 species of Crustacea. Those belonging to the Isopoda and 

 the Amphipoda have been examined by the Rev. Mr. Steb- 

 bing ; he has sent me the following notes on the various 

 forms and has kindly permitted me to incorporate his notes 

 here. 1 gladly avail myself of this permission, for the infor- 

 mation they give appears to include all that can be satis- 

 factorily made oat concerning these forms. His notes are as 

 follow : — 



1. The Isopoda. 



(1) " Fragments of a very spiny specimen which has 

 uropods like those of Beddard's Trichopleon ramulosum y 

 peduncle long, rami long, inner ramus with short second joint, 

 telson produced to a rather long point. Beddard's Eurycnpe 

 spinosa was without pleon, and therefore remains indefinite/' 

 Trichopleon rawulosum, Beddard, was described from speci- 

 mens from the Philippines. 



(2) " Another species may belong to Ilyarachna, Sars, or 

 perhaps rather to Echinozone, Sars." 



(3) " A small nearly perfect specimen seems near to 

 Nannoiv'scus, Sars. The masculine appendage of the second 

 pleopods ends in a broad oval expansion. The operculum is 

 not abnormal as in N. oblongus, Sars, but is as in his Caspian 

 species N. caspius." 



2. The Amphipoda. 



(4) "An Amphipod wanting the pleon." Neither the 

 genus nor species of this could be satisfactorily determined. 



(5) " Another Amphipod without the pleon, this being 

 Andaniotes corpulentus (G. M. Thomson)." Andaniotes 

 corpulentus was described from specimens collected in the 

 South Pacific. 



3. The Copepoda. 



The Copepoda comprised an Oithona rather immature 

 and scarcely perfect enough to be determined ; a male 

 Euterpe acutifrons ; another form too imperfect for identifica- 

 tion ; and one or two tolerably perfect specimens of Ponto- 

 stratiotes abyssicola, G. S. Brady. The following short 

 description of the Pontostratiotes is culled from that by
