measurements of the terminal segments of tlie antennulae arc like those of E. norvcgica though less 

 marked; the articular membrane between Re I— II of pes I is not completely lost. 



The fifth pair of legs in the male shows minute differences, as realised by comparing figures 

 (text-fig. 47 k). 



Y J (St. IV). Size of specimen from Thor St. 154 was 5-02 mm.; anterior division (2-3 + 1-43) = 373; 

 urosomn 1-29 mm. 



This stage differs from the corresponding stage of E. iiorvrgiai by the more rounded lateral 

 corner of the thorax. The appendages show differences similar to those of E. norvegica (text-figs 47 1— n).

Distribution. The species is very common in the Polar basin crossed by Nan sen, "from 300 

 metres to the very surface of the .sea". By the Uuc d' Orleans it was taken at 15 stations in the .sea 

 between Spitzbergen and Greenland between 79°56 E. N. i''29 E. E. and 7i°22 E. N. 18 '58 E. W. (" -— '5/s 

 1905). Adult males and females parth' with eggs and spermatophorcs were found at 5 stations between 

 200 and 500 metres; the young specimens were .sometimes found in higher layers, but scarcely at the 

 surface; in the lower layers between 500 — 1000 metres young ones only have been found. In the Xorwegiau 

 vSea it has, according to Sar.s, been taken a few times between 200- 1000 metres. Damas iS: Koefoed
