348 DE. H. J. HANSEN ON THE 



Strait, Station 25 : lat. 63° 30' N., long. 54° 25' W., 582 fathoms, 

 temperature at tlie bottom 3°-6 C. In May 1904, the specimen 

 figured was captured west of the most southern of the Paroe 

 Islands, in lat. 61° 15' N., long. 9° 35' W., 872-970 metres, by 

 Dr. Job. Schmidt (the cruise of the ' Thor,' the Danish ship in the 

 service of the international marine investigations of the Northern 

 European Seas). 



BemarJcs. — The species is rather closely allied to C. neglecta, 

 H. J. H., but distinguished at a glance by the complete absence 

 of visual elements and the shape of the lateral part of the bead ; 

 besides it shows several minor differences pointed out in. the 

 description. Prom C ccem, Dollf., it differs in possessing well- 

 developed furrows on the thoracic epimera. The name is chosen 

 in honour of Dr. Job. Scbmidt, who during the cruises of the 

 ' Thor ' in the seas of Iceland and the Faroe Islands collected 

 a great number of interesting Crustacea (and other animals), 

 several of whicn are new to science.

1903. Cirolana cceca, A. DoUfus, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, vol. xxviii. p. 6. 



Eyes quite wanting. 



Erontal plate " very narrow, longitudinally canaliculated, about 

 three times as long as broad." 



Antennuljc short, with three-jointed peduncle, and flagellum 

 consisting of twenty or twenty-one joints. 



Epimera of second to sixth thoracic segments without any 

 trace of oblique furrow, while the usual submarginal furrow is 

 conspicuous. Seventh epimera considerably smaller than the 

 sixth, with the oblique furrow rather feebly developed. 



Seventh thoracic legs have the second joint shaped nearly as in 

 O. ScJimidtii, with the natatory setse distributed as in this 

 species. 



Last abdominal segment subtriangular, proportionately a 

 little longer than in C. Schmidtii, with the end narrowly 

 rounded. 



Uropoda nearly as in C. Schmidtii ; the endopod not quite so 

 broad as in that species. 



The species is rather closely allied to C. Schmidtii. 



Length of an egg-bearing female, 9 mm. 



Occurrence. — Dollfus enumerates five stations in the western 

 half of the Mediterranean, with depths from 1210 to 2500 m.
