302 CHILTON 
Numerous specimens of this species were taken at Stations 5, 
7, 14, 21, and 26. From Station 7 there was a large number 
of specimens of varying sizes up to 54mm. in length. Though 
these were presumably brought up by the trawl in the usual 
way, I think from the character of them that they 
were not actually living on the sea bottom, for they were 
all perfectly clean and free from mud, and in all of them the 
external maxillipeds have the elongated foliaceous character 
that is associated with the pelagic form known as Grimothea 
gregaria. A considerable number of these specimens from 
Station 7 are mature, some of them being females bearing eggs. 
The following table gives the measurement of 8 of these 
specimens and also of 5 other specimens from Station 26, 
3 being females bearing eggs. From the measurements 
given it will be seen that while there is considerable 
variety in the proportionate length of the external 
maxillipeds these appendages are considerably shorter in the 
specimens from Station 26 than in those from Station 7, 
although both lots contained mature females. The length of 
the body is measured from the tip of the rostrum to the 
extremity of the telson.
