I. '08. 67 



The niclimentary epipod at the base of the fourth pair of 

 pereiopods is very short — not longer than broad. 



Since November, 1905, A. purpurea has again been taken 

 on many occasions and in all stages, and has been found in 

 the stomachs of two deep-water fish, Synaphohranchus pin- 

 naius and Haloporphyrus cques. The large majority of the 

 Irish specimens are referable to Coutiere's var. multispina. 



The additional records are : —
