close together as possible. In both these rows the spines are set at right angles to 
the joimt, in the other rows they are arranged parallel to the length of the joint. 
All these are essentially the same in character, but in the “ parallel” series, the spines, 
being viewed more laterally, appear to be curved and the blade forms a very 
shallow scoop. 
The Legs are provided with longitudinal rows of curved spines, not very 
numerous, especially on the ventral surface, most abundant and conspicuous on the 
femur. The first coxa is conspicuously broader than the others. The lateral 
processes of the body are narrow proximally and widen distally, the first coxa 
continuing this widening. The two following cox are of less diameter, sub-equal in 
length, the distal extremity of each is fringed with minute spines, the fringe, 
however, not being complete. The femur is conspicuously the longest joint of the 
limb, the other joints progressively shorten, the amount of decrease being obvious. 
The claw is nearly the length of the propodus. <A few additional spines are to be 
found ventrally at the distal extremity of some of the joints. 
The Genital apertures open on the second coxa of each leg. 
A single specimen of this species was taken off the Barrier in lat. 78° 25’ 40" S., 
long. 185° 39' 6” E., 300 fms., bottom, mud, 27 Jan. 1902. 
In the examination of this collection my thanks are primarily due to the Council 
of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, and to Dr. EK. J. Allen, 
the Director, for accommodation at their Plymouth Laboratory ; to Professor Chilton, 
of Canterbury College, Christchurch, N.Z., for enabling me to make the preliminary 
examination of our collections; to Mr. G. M. Thomson and Professor W. B. Benham, 
of Dunedin, N.Z., for so kindly placing the whole of their collections at my disposal ; 
to Professor EK. L. Bouvier, of Paris, for allowing me to examine the collection made 
by the ‘Francais’ in the Antarctic as well as the unpublished collections of the 
‘Travailleur’ and ‘Talisman’; to Professor Kraepelin, and particularly to Dr. G. 
Pfeffer, for the opportunity to examine the collection from South Georgia, now in 
the Natural History Museum at Hamburg; to Professor A. Brauer, and especially to 
Dr. E. Vanhoffen, biologist of the ‘Gauss,’ for the facilities extended to me during the 
examination of the ‘ Valdivia’ and other collections now in the Berlin Museum. 
My best thanks are due to Mrs. L. E. Sexton for the drawings of Plates VI. 
and IX., Plate II., Fig. 1., Plate V. (the entire animal), Plates X., Figs. 1-7, all of 
which were executed with the greatest accuracy. I am further indebted to her for 
some considerable assistance during the progress of the work. 
Messrs. West, Newman and Co. have continued the preparation of the plates, 
and I must thank them for the care they have taken,
