MIL E. J. MIERS ON GREENLAND CRUSTACEA. 67 



I refer here, with some hesitation, a number of small specimens 

 obtained by the dredge off Hare Island. The colour of the eyes 

 is indistinguishable in all the specimens. The terminal segment 

 appears to vary somewhat as to the degree of its distal emargina- 

 tion. These specimens agree, however, in all respects with those 

 described by me in the Report on the late Arctic Expedition.

This species was parasitic on a species of Cod caught by line 

 in 100 fathoms in the North Sea in lat. 58° 53' K, long. 1° 2' E. 

 Unlike the Caligus curtus, parasitic on the same animal (which 

 was distributed over the body of the fish), this species was found 

 only behind the pectoral fins at their bases ; and was, as Mr. 

 Whymper notes, sluggish in its movements compared with the 

 other. Only a few specimens were preserved, the adults being 

 females. It has been recorded, as Boeck notes, in the seas of 

 Norway, Denmark, and Britain ; but its range does not, as far as 

 I am aware, extend northward to the coast of Greenland.

Two specimens are in the collection (one in much mutilated 

 condition), obtained in the dredge-haul off Hare Island in 30 

 fathoms. 



They agree with the descriptions of the species in the form of 

 the body and limbs, the absence of the spur-like prolongation of 

 the wrist of the first pair of legs, and all other characteristics.
