The abdomen has four somite.s, but in other respects scarceh' any difference was ob.served from 

 the adult females, except by the better developed articulation of the e.xopodite of the fifth pair of leg.s 

 in the females (fig. 8e). The fifth pair of legs of the males is clumsy, and most similar to that of 

 Scottocala)ms, but has the setae better developed (fig. 8 d PI. \'III). 



Occurrence. The Ingolf E-xpedition has not gathered this species, but the S S Thor has brought 

 it home from several localities.

Distribution. "This species is a noticeable feature of the deep water ])lankton off the west coast 

 of Ireland" "at depths of from 330 to 1150 fathoms" (Far ran); it has been taken by the Monaco Ex- 

 pedition as well as in the Malay x^rchipelago. 



Remarks. That this species is identical with Farran's .SV. c-wrt/-.^'///r//rMs scarcely doubtful; Far- 

 ran's specimens were identified by Sars with his ^l. obttisifrous. which i.s, however, distincth' bigger 

 and has the fifth feet somewhat different "muni en dedans d'uiie epine assez forte etrallongee, et en 

 autre de 2 petits denticules, run apical, Tautre sortant du bord exterieiir". It differs from Scott's de- 

 scription by the wanting delicate spinulation of the posterior surface of the fourth exopodite. 



This species is nearly related to, if not identical with, Wolfendcn's .5. ^/i-v/^^/w from the .South 

 .\tlantic (191 1, p. 255), as well as with .V. iiionnitd Esterl\- 11906, p. 67I, but the descriptions arc too insuf- 

 ficient for solving the question. 



The species is characterised b\- the robust shape of the body and the antennulae, which are longer 

 than the body, without vSpr. in segment 17, and without setae in segment 10. The Sc Re I pes I is 

 comparatively short, ami onh attains the middle of the following segment, while the Se Ri I pes II is 

 long and pointed. The St. Re III pes II has aboutj7o partly fused teeth. The inner terminal seta of 

 the anterior surface of Bas]x III— IV is well developed, long and .slender. The .second basipodite of the 

 third pair of legs has a distinct lateral tooth, but no spinous lamina.
