Notes on Some Small Crustacea from the " Goldseeker" Collections. 7 



his report on South African Crustacea, describes other large specimens 

 belonging to the related genus Grossophorus, G. S. Brady, which were 

 dredged in deep water 67 and 78 miles S. by W. of St. Blaize, 

 South Africa.* Though the shell of Gigantocypris , when compared 

 with the shells of Cypridince, shows some curious differences in shape 

 and structure, the structure of the animal itself exhibits a somewhat 

 close relationship with that of species belonging to Cypridina, and 

 especially to Cypridina mediterranea, Claus (see PL LV. of Brady and 

 Norman's Monogr., Part II.).f
