Notoendeis germanica. 
The Proboscis is as long as the body and the terminal joints of the 
palps are as 8, 5,5, 4,5. 
The body is robust and smooth. 
Pipetta austrahs. 
The genus was established by Dr. Loman for a tropical species | 
and now includes an antarctic species taken near the Gauss Winter 
Quarters in 2450 m. 
The specific characters of this antarctic species are ocular tubercle 
long, conical and without eyes. 
Tarsus very short, not one fifth the length of the propodus. 
Pentanymphon antarcticum. 
Pordoi) antarcticum Hodgson. Ann. and Mag. N. H. (7). vol. 14. 1904. 
This species has been recorded by every Antarctic expedition and 
has a circumpolar distribution. 
Nymphon unguiculatum. 
Body slender with rather long but widely separated lateral pro- 
cesses. Quite smooth. Ocular tubercle short and stout, rounded above 
the eyes. 
The joints of the palps vary but little, 4—5—4,5—5. 
The legs are clothed sparingly with short spinous setae. The ter- 
minal claw is long and there are no auxiliaries. 
Nymphon tenuimanum. 
Body not so much as slender, the lateral processes are widely se- 
parated. The ocular tubercle is reduced to a trace and there are no 
eyes. The legs are provided with extraordinarily long setae on the first 
tibiae, and to a less extent on the second and the femora. No auxi- 
liary claws. 
Nymphon exiguum. 
Body comparatively stout with widely separated lateral processes, 
ocular tubercle placed well forwards and small, eyes well developed in 
some specimens. 
The joints of the palps are as 3—5—1,2—4. 
Propodus twice as long as tarsus. No auxiliary claws; a small 
species. 
Nymphon fuscum. 
Nymphon fuscum Hoek. Challenger. 
Several specimens occur in the collection from Kerguelen Island. 
This and its allies N. antarcticum of Miers and N. meridionalis of Hoek 
are very perplexing species. In N. fuscum the range of variation is
