 rounded distally and are furnished on both siiles with from one to tliree weak set:ondarv teeth. 

 The cavity dorsally «)f the end comb is .shallow, furnished at about the middle with a chitinous 

 peg of about the same type and size as the teeth of tlie end comh (lig. 25). 



F u rea (figs. 26 — 29): — Tliis has from thirteen to Hfteen claws; sometimes the same 

 number is found on both lamellae, somtimes it is different; tlie combinations 15 — 15, 15 — 14 

 and 15 — 13 were observed. Claws nos. 1. 2 and 4 are pow'erful. claw no. 3 is somewhat shorter 

 and rather considerably weaker than no. 4. From claw- no. 5, which is pretty considerably 

 shorter and weaker than no. 4, the following claws decrease fairly uniformly in length and strength 

 the more posteriorly they are situated. On claw no. 3 the secondary teeth extend in most cases 

 right to the point. < )n tlie two distal claws there is basally-medially a group of rather long, stiff 

 bristles; these bristles are in most cases rather weakly developed and sometimes seem even to 

 be missing on claw no. 2. On the following claws there are no .such bristles at all. On the inside 

 of the furcal lamellae there is at the base of the claws a rather abundant supply of fairly long, 

 stiff bristles varying in length, in most cases without any evident arrangement in groups. In addition 

 there are at this part copious short, fine hairs more or less clearly arranged in groups of something 

 like rows; behind the claws the lamellae have fine hairs. The pilosity is subject to variation. 



The length of the rod-shaped organ (figs. 9 and 10) is about 0,7 mm. ; its proximal 

 two-thirds is segmented; distally it is either finely pointed or rounded. It has sparse, short, 

 scattered hairs. 



The male is unknown. 



Habitat: — South Georgia: S. A. E., Station 20, Antarctic Bay, lat. 54" 12' S.,

 clay with scattered stones; temperature at the bottom, — 0,25" C; R. M. S. 142. At these 

 stations twenty or thirty specimens were captured in all, mature females and juvenes in 

 different stages.

 depth 125 m. ; stones and gravel: one specimen, a larva, presumably belonging to this species, 

 was captured; unfortunately it was too young for certainty of identification; R. M. S. 143.
