11. 11. CiKAiN writes as I'dllows abimt tliis species, 1!)02. p. 67: aher die jiesclileclits- 



leifeii Miinnehen seliwiirmen uinher iiu treien Wasser, wo sie an Norwe^'eiis Kiisten hesoiulers 

 iin Winter and Friililiuir in irrolJer Menge ganz an der Obertiiiche angetroft'en werden konneii." 



These facts show tiiat tliis species, like I lie |)r('eediiig oiic, is as a ride very rarely iound 

 in plankton (it is to be mentioned that it is also rather rare in tlie bottom samples, inucli more 

 uncommon than Ph. (Ph.) globoso) though it certainly exists there in rather great numbers, 

 and that it is foimd planktonically at all times of the year. 



Ph. (Ph.) interpuncta: 



G. S. Brady writes IbOS b, p. 404: that this species was ,, taken ainuidaiitl} iri 

 the towiiig-net." 



In the plankton tables of the ..('onseil permanent" this species is only 

 mentioned once:* 



1906: 



November: Sc, 32, lat. 58" 08' N., long. 2" 00' W.; depth to the bottom 80 m. 

 10 m. rr. 



Ph. (Ph.) Macandrei: 



This species was also caught in the plankton only on one occasion by the ,,C o n se i I 

 p e r m a n e n t": 



1905: 



August: Sc. 5 A., lat. 60" 05' N., long. 0" 48' W.; depth to the bottom, 111 ni. 

 m. +. 



Besides Philoinedes (Ph.) globosa two of the species of this genus that I have had an 

 opportunity of investigating. Ph. (Ph.) rotunda and Ph. ( Scleroconcha) Afpellofi, were characterized 

 by always having the long natatory bristles of the second antenna of the females with eggs 

 in the brood chamber broken in the same way as is described above for the first-mentioned 

 species. 



In the case of Ph. (Ph.) Lilljeborgi, among the specimens investigated by me, some 

 females — both from Lofoten and from Skager Eak — with eggs in the brood chamber had 

 long, unbroken natatory bristles on the second antenna ; most females of this kind were, however, 

 characterized by having these bristles broken in the same way as in the three preceding species. 



Ph. (Ph.) Eu^eniae, on the other hand, always had long, unbroken natatory bristles 

 on the second antenna in the females with eggs in the brood chamber wdiich I have examined. 



One other species of this genus, which is not included in this treatise, namely Ph. (Sclero- 

 concha) Folini, was investigated by me with regard to this character. In the description that 

 Cr. 0. Sars, 1887, pp. 52 and 53, gives of the second antenna in the female of this species we 

 read the following statement: ,,2det Par An tenner hos Hunnen viser vistnok idethele samme 



* A form named Philomedes interrupta is also menlioind in llu'se tables (XorOi Sc.i. B. August, 1906), l)ut as 

 no species of this name is hitherto doscribed I leave this find oul of i onsideration (= I'h. (Ph.) inti-rjiinicta?],
