In the “Tjalfe’”” Exped., p. 124 seq., I advanced reasons for supposing 
this larva to belong to Pandalus propinquus. This I now consider may 
be regarded as absolutely certain, as one of the speci- 
mens (6. stage?) from St. 128 exhibits an excellent 
Pandalus-character. The specimen in question measured 
16mm. to the base of the rostrum (which was lacking) 
and is thus remarkable large for a Decapod larva. 
It closely resembles 5. stage, differing, however, in 
some points. The pleopoda are longer, with natatory 
setae (also found in 5. stage). The most important 
feature, however, is that the left p2 is considerably iE? || ee 
longer than the right; in both, the distal end of the 
5. jomt is separated off as a distinct jomt. This 
fact, that the left p2 is longer than the right, is a 
decided Pandalus-character, and as the larva does 
not agree with any of these described by Sars, it cannot be other than 
Pandalus propinquus. 
All stages have a spine under the 1. joint of the peduncle in ant. 
1. The chelae of p1—p2 im the 6. stage will be seen from my figures. 
The 1. stage is not found in the material from the “Rink”. The 
2. stage was taken on the 5/vu (“Tjalfe” 7/vir to 16/v11); 3. stage 5/vir 
to 22/vi1 (“Tjalfe” 7/vir to 16/v11); 4. stage 5/vir to 28/vur (“Tyalfe”’ 
17/vim1); 5. stage 22/vir to 28/vit (“Tjalfe’’ 29/vii1); and the 6. stage (?) 
26/vir. The results from the “Rink” thus agree well enough with those 
from the “Tjalfe”’. 
The fact that no grown specimens of Pandalus propinquus were 
taken by the “Rink” cannot, I think, be cited in disproof of my deter- 
mination. A species of such considerable size and rapid movement 
would certainly have no difficulty in escaping from the ringtrawl; 
it must be borne in mind that the “Rink” could move but very slowly 
ringtrawl or dredge working at such a depth. 
As will be seen from my list, the larva was only taken in the Kvane- 
fjord close to the mouth, whereas it was found far up in Bredefjord, 
though not in Sermilik.
