proper; laterally a series of short setae is observed (PI. I fig. loa), and in front of these, partly on the 

 oral surface, a group of short spines or granules is observed. Orally we find on each side an inner and 

 an outer series of delicate bristles, arranged in a short ])osterior and a long anterior (li\ision. As far 

 as the structure of the labium etc. is concerned I refer to the fig. 10 b. 



fc?. Size of male 1-63 mm. 



The thoracic somite IV and V are as seen in the text-fig. 15 b well separated. The aiilctinulae 

 have the articular-membranes between the segments Scvjg and 10, 10 and 11, 11 and 12 rather in- 

 distinct; the antennulae become rather suddenly narrower beyond segment 14, which is wider than 

 15. The first to ninth segments possess two bristles in addition to one or two "Aesthetasken"; in tlie 

 following segment.s, except in the 12th, no distinct proximal .seta (Spr.) is observed, but small inci.sions, 

 corresponding to their insertions; "Aesthetasken" are observed in several of the segments. Tlie oral 

 appendages are as shown and parth' figured by Sars rather rudimentary. The iiiaxillulac show the 

 following features. The L,e i^ossesses 7 short bristles; the lyi I has only a few rudimentary setae, and 

 the rather prominent lyi II — III have 3 short delicate bristles each. The Basp. has 5 and the Ri I -HI 

 4 -|- 4 "|- 6 bristles, of which those of Ri III are fairly long aud^ slender. The Rehears 11 partly power- 

 ful hairs. The iiiaiidihlcs are figured b}- Sars; the aiitriniat\ the maxillae and the iiiaxillipcds are 

 less powerful, but in the main features alike those of the female. The labniin and labial appendages 

 show exteriorly a strnctme scarcely different from that of the female. 



The Se of Re I pes I is even less developed than in the female. The structure of the fifth 

 pair of legs (cf. te.xt-fig. 15c) is in some points different from Sars' description; between the Re I and 

 II on the right side an indistinct limitation is seen. 



Y (St. V). Size: 1-45 mm.; anterior division I'OO and the abdomen 0-45 nun. 



The shape of the body is scarcely different from that of the female; there is indication of 

 articulation between the head and first thoracic somite; the two last thoracic somites are, as seen in 

 text-fig. 15 d, well developed. The oral and natatory appendages are scarcely different from those of 

 the females. The structure of pes V is shown in text-fig. 14 e. 



Occurrence. The lugolf Expedition has taken 2 mature females, a single matme male and 

 two young ones (St. V) ^"/p 1895 2 p. m. V. 200—0 fathoms St. 25 63"3o Lat. N. 54"25 Long. \V. 



Distribution. This species has been taken at 2 different stations in the polar seas in about the 

 80th degree of latitude and the 134th degree of longitude east as well as at 81 "32 L. X. l)y Ronier 

 and vSchandiun, on the coast of Norway (Osterfjord Norway in the de])th from 400-600 metres), 

 and in moderate numbers on the west coast of Ireland "at all depths from 200 to 1000 fathoms". Ac- 

 cording to Oiesbrecht it is found "99°— 132" W. 3° S.— 14" N. In 1000 -4000 .Meter Tiefe". 



Remarks. The female described by Mrazek as Spiiiocalaiius Sc/iautfi>ini \^ certainly identical 

 with the mentioned Specie.s. His male, however, seems in rather important features to differ; in his spec- 

 imen the segments VIII to XIV of the antennulae are completely fused (Taf. V fig. i), and the pes V 

 differs distinctly, especially by the Ri, the terminal .seta of which just reaches beyond the end of Re I.
