implies, another deep-sea species of the same family, was taken at 
station 158 and also further north. It seems confined to the abysses 
of the Antarctic and Southern Seas. (vi.) Boreomysis scyphops, 
G. O. Sars, is a gigantic member of the family Mysiz, measuring 
85 mm. in length. Its eyes are very degenerate, without a trace of 
pigment or “visual elements.” It was taken at stations 147, 157, 
158, and is known from the Arctic Seas; thus it affords another 
interesting example of a species which occurs at about the same 
latitude north and south, but which is unknown from intermediate 
seas ; (vii.) Amblyops crozctii, Suhm, belongs to the same family, and 
as its specific name indicates, it was taken near the Crozets ata 
considerable depth, 1600 fathoms. To the same family also belongs 
(vill.) Pseudomma sarsii, Suhm, taken at the most southerly dredging, 
station 153. Other specimens of the species were taken around 
Kerguelen, but in much shallower water. 
Order VI.—STOMATOPODA. 
This order has no deep-sea species. 
Order VII.—CuMACEA. 
Several species of this order were collected in the neighbourhood 
of Kerguelen, but none at a greater depth than 150 fathoms. A few 
deep-sea species are known—e.g. Lewcon tenwtrostris, Sars, and 
Eudorella abyssi, Sars, but not from the Antarctic. 
Order VIII.—Dercapopa. 
The deep-sea Decapoda are, as a rule, characterised by blind- 
ness and by a remarkable spininess both of the carapace and of 
the limbs. The antenne and limbs are in many cases much elon- 
gated, the latter being sometimes as long as four times the body 
length. 
Macrura. Six species of Macrurous Decapods were taken in the 
Antarctic area. They are as follows:—(i.) Petalidium foliacewm, Sp. 
Bate, belonging to the family Srrczsrio#, trawled at station 146 near 
Marion Island, and again at station 159, south of Australia. (ii) 
At the former station was also trawled a single specimen of 
Glyphocrangon podager, Sp. Bate, family Nixws, (iii) Also at 
station 146, specimens of Nematocarcinus proximatus, Sp. Bate, one 
of the Nemarocarciviwx, a widely-distributed species found again off 
Valparaiso, in the Arafura Sea, and near Yokohama. (iv.) Another 
species of the same genus, NV. lanceopes, Sp. Bate, was trawled at
