6 W. T. CALMAN. 
For the purpose of comparison, I have examined a series of specimens of 
C. verrucosa from the West of Ireland and from the Mediterranean; those from 
the latter locality include some determined by Prof. Sars himself. These specimens, as 
I have elsewhere noted, show considerable variation among themselves and differ in 
some points from Prof. Sars’s figures and description. In view of this variation, it 
does not seem possible to attribute specific value to the characters which distinguish 
the Antarctic from the northern specimens, more especially since I have only very few 
fully adult specimens of the latter. 
Campylaspis nodulosa, described by Prof. Sars from specimens obtained by the 
‘Challenger’ at Kerguelen, is very similar to the present species, but the type 
specimens, although of large size (3°75 mm. in length according to my 
measurements *), are without any trace of the last pair of legs, and may, therefore, 
be presumed to be immature. The smallest specimens of C. verrucosa which I have 
seen are about 2°5 mm. long, and have the last legs already fully developed. The 
smallest of the ‘Discovery’ specimens are about the same size as the types of 
C. nodulosa, and they agree in all essentials with the adults. It is likely, therefore, 
that before attaining the adult state the Kerguelen form must grow to a size 
greatly exceeding that of the ‘Discovery’ specimens, and it will be necessary to 
wait until adult specimens are obtained before deciding what value is to be attached 
to the characters distinguishing it. The most important of these characters are the 
smaller relative size of the carapace, which is less than one-half of the length of the 
body, and the absence of any tubercles or teeth on the dorsal surface of the abdominal 
somites.
