Of three small specimens taken by the " Thetis " expedition 

 none exceded a length of 3-5 mm. In the specimen dissected the 

 membranaceous second joint of each gnathopod was twisted. In 

 the limb first observed I supposed the condition to be accidental, 

 but it resisted all efforts to sti'aighten it out. 



In the " Challenger " Report the palp of the first maxillse was 

 described as two-jointed, but that was due to a misapprehension. 

 It is no doubt really one-jointed. 



It may be added that during the early part of the present 

 year (1909) I recognised this species among the contents of the 

 stomach of Stauroteuthis hippocrepium, Hoyle. Dr. Hoyle 

 informs me that this Cephalopod was taken 10th March, 1908, by 

 the " Scotia " Expedition at 24-25 fathoms depth, in Lat. 66° 40' 

 S., Long. 40*^ 35' W. It had also been devouring several species 

 of Isopoda and Copepoda. 



Locality. — Off Wata Mooli, from 54 to 59 fathoms depth. Pre- 

 vious captures were from New Zealand waters. Chevreux records 

 females, on an average 6 mm. long, from Port Charcot at depths 

 varyijig from 20-40 m.
