and the Se 2 Re III does not reach tlie end of the sc<Tinciit. The pes V (fig. 54 f) resembles in most 

 respects that of E. norv. The Ri dext. is long and slender, consisting of a single segment, Ijut divided 

 into two, about equal, divisions (of whicli tlie posterior is the more slender) by an exterior rounded emi- 

 nence, which is indicated in E. gtacialis. The Re I'njII of the right leg, which is 1-5 as long as the 

 Re III, shows by an indistinct incision indication of subdi\isiou into a basal and a terminal segment; 

 a small Se Re I is found. Tlie Ri sin., which is short and club-shaped, shows trace of segmentation 

 only towards the tip, and has terminally a very minute spiuc. The tip of the left exopodite is, as seen 

 by comparing the figures (PI. VI figs iid— e), like that of E. iiorv.^ but differs distinctly by the short 

 and clumsy form of the serrated interior lobe with two distal rows of larger and smaller teeth con- 

 verging towards the end, and by the comparati\'ely long hair\- appendage (text-fig. 54 f|.

In two female specimens the first abdominal somite is distincth' produced below, in a single 

 male scarcely so (text-figs 54 g — h). The measurements of the aiitriiuuldr and the structure of pes I — II 

 are scarcely different from those of adult females. The pes V <S does not i)rovide features of great 

 interest (text-fig. 54 j). 



Y5(St. IV). Size: 3-36 mm. ; anterior division 2'5 mm. ; posterior 0S6 mm. .\ single female, which 

 ought perhaj^s to be referred to this species, was examined.

It has previously been recorded by Sars from several stations, from the Monaco Expedition, by 

 Farran "in small numbers at three stations" off the west coast of Ireland as far north as 55° X. 

 (io°45 W.) "at depths between 700 and and 1150 fathoms", and by vScott, taken by the Siboga Kxp., 

 from 5 stations (i — 2 specimens) in considerable depths. 



Remarks. As the described males and females were found together, as they corresponded fairly 

 well to each other in size, and as I did not find any species to which the males are more naturally 

 referred, I have referred them to the same .species, in spite of a rather curious difference found in the 

 structure of pes I. The young specimens, on account of rounded lateral corners, size and similar 

 structure of pes I— II, were referred to the same species. 



In spite of minor differences from Sars' and Scott's descriptions, scarcely any doubt can exist, 

 that the specimens examined by the different authors belong to the same species.

Description, f?. Size of specimen from St. SS was 674 mm.; anterior division (276 -f 1-96) = 

 472 mm.; urosome 202 mm. Sars' specimens measured 6-6, I'arran's 6-9, Wolfeudens 5-85— 6 mm. 



The shape of the body is ])racticall>- like that of E. nonwgica. The lateral corners arc not
