PANTOPODA PROM PKANZ-JOSEP LAND. 629 



These specimens seem to me undoubtedly cospecific with the 

 form just described, agreeing in the form of the eye-eminence, 

 the proportions of the false legs and walking-legs, the form and 

 serration of the denticulate spines, and the armature of the feet. 

 They differ markedly in the shortened form of the neck, pro- 

 boscis, scape of mandible, and palp (fig. 2). The terminal seg- 

 ments of the false leg (fig. 9) are shorter, and stouter propor- 

 tionally than in the type (fig. 8), and each segment bears a 

 smaller number of denticulate spines. In the general form of 

 the body and proportion of the neck and proboscis, this variety 

 recalls W. glaciate, Lilljeborg, but it is readily differentiated from 

 that species by the much more elongate legs and the serrations 

 of the denticulate spines, which in iV. glaciale resemble closely 

 those of N. grossipes. 



It will be noticed that this variety is from a greater depth 

 than the type form.
