pcctiimtiHl. till' two antorior ones liavi' only a few scroiularv tcctli. Tlir iKistrrinr cdjic of tliis 

 joint is irrcirularly iindulatod distally. l'orn>ing a low cutting process. The end joint (Hg. 1(1): 

 This is moderately eliitiniziMl. Usually it has six (in a siniile case seven) a-bristics ol moderate 

 strength anil length, naked or with sparse, weak seeondarv teeth; this joint has, in acklition, 

 four b-bristles. four or five, in most cases five, c-bristles and three d-bristles. Tlie b- bristles 

 are most frequently subeijual. ol moderate length and strength, the anterior' one ol' them 

 sparsely but strongly pectinated, the rest usually oiil\- with a lew secomlary teeth in the middle. 

 The c-bristles are often placed somewhat irregularly, some ol them about as long and strong as the 

 b-bristles. the others rather short and weak; the longer ones among them have rather powerful 

 but sparse secondary teeth, on the shorter ones the secondary teeth are fewer and weaker and 

 may even be quite absent. The d-bristles are somewhat longer than the b-bristles and very 

 powerful, especially the two anterior ones; they are armed with sparse, coarse secondary teeth, 

 the anterior ones most frequently witli only a few of these. Pilosity: The epipodial plate of 

 the protopodite is partly furnished with fine hairs. The first endo[)odite joint lias anteriorly- 

 ilistally groups of fine short hairs. 



Fifth limb: — Protopodite: The first cndite (fig. 15j has in most cases 

 fourteen bristles; in one case among the specimens fromS/S ,,M i c h a e 1 S a r s" only thirteen 

 were observed, while the specimens from S/S ,,A n t a r c t i c" had fourteen or fifteen bristles 

 on this process. Of these bristles the inner-anterior one is rather short, almost bare or furnished 

 with one wreath or a few wreaths of long secondary bristles. The rest are moderatel}' or rather 

 long, theii- relative length somewhat varying, in most cases being about what is shown in the 

 adjoining figure; they are all rather powerful and have a varying, in most cases rather large 

 number of \vreaths of long, stiflE secondary bristles; most of them are fitted distally with a 

 varying number of rather powerful secondary teeth, some are bare distally. The five inner 

 bristles of the second endite (fig. 16) are rather powerful, subequal, of moderate length, all with 

 a number of wreaths of long, stiff secondary bristles, the middle one of them finely serrated, the 

 rest with rather coarse secondary teeth distally, generally somewhat fewer and coarser on the 

 two posterior bristles than on the two anterior ones. The bristle a little farther out on the 

 anterior side of this process is short, bare or almost bare. Third endite: (fig. 17) All seven 

 bristles are of moderate length, subequal except nos. 5 and 6, reckoning from the front, which 

 are somewhat shorter than the rest; the five anterior ones are rather powerful, the two posterior, 

 especially the most posterior, very powerful. The two anterior ones are of the same type as 

 each other, fitted with several wreaths of long, stiff secondary bristles in the middle and rather 

 coarsely pectinated distally; the three middle ones are generally without long secondary bristles, 

 two of them are finely serrated, the third coarsely pectinated distally; the two posterior ones 

 have several wreaths or cross-rows of long, stiff secondary bristles in the middle, distally they 

 are somewhat bent and armed with a somewhat varying number of secondary teeth, of which 

 the proximal ones are very powerful. The epipodial plat e has about seventy to 

 eighty marginal bri.stles; on the ventral ones of these the distal third t)r quarter is naked or has 

 short hairs, on those situated more dorsally the long hairs extend still farther out towards the 

 point of the bristles; on all of them, however, the point itself is quite naked. The structure
