The endopodite of the antennae is about equal to one-third of the length of the exopodite. 
_ The second joint of the basiopodite of the maxillae is furnished with one long seta and 
two short ones on its distal angle. The exopodite is furnished with eleven long setae and the 
endopodite with three. 
The mandibles and maxillipedes resemble those of Euchzrella rostrata. 
The exopodite of the first pair of feet is indistinctly three-jointed, and is furnished with 
three marginal spines. The endopodite is short and one-jointed. 
The exopodite of the second pair of feet is three-jointed and the endopodite one-jointed. 
The third and fourth pairs of feet have a three-jointed exopodite and endopodite. The 
first joint of the basiopodite of the fourth pair of feet is furnished with one strong tooth on 
its inner margin (Plate XII, 19—20). 
Only two specimens, one of which was immature, were obtained from plankton collected 
at the following stations. 
Stat. 148, HENSEN vertical net 1000 metres to surface, 1 mature female. 
Stat. 276, HENSEN vertical net 750 metres to surface, 1 immature female. 
I have been unable to detect any difference between the mature female obtained by the 
‘Siboga’, and the description and figures given by Dr. WoOLFENDEN. 
Euchirella maxima has hitherto only been known from the North Atlantic Ocean.

Female — length 5,5 mm. 
The cephalothorax is oblong ovate and very robust. The head is distinctly separated 
from the first thoracic segment. It is without a crest, but has a short one-pointed rostrum. The 
fourth and fifth thoracic segments are completely separated. The last thoracic segment is very 
slightly produced, and the distal margins are narrowly rounded when seen in lateral view. 
The abdomen is composed of four joints. The combined length of the abdomen and 
furca is contained three and a half times in the total length of the cephalothorax, from the 
frontal margin to the base of the genital segment. The genital segment is symmetrical with 
broadly rounded lateral margins, and is greatly swollen below. It is about as broad as long, 
and exceeds the combined length of the next three segments. The second and third segments 
are of about equal size. The third segment is distinctly shorter than the others. The furcal 
joints are about as broad as long, and are slightly shorter than the anal segment. The posterior 
portions of the genital segment, and the whole of the second, third, and fourth segments are 
well covered with fine hairs. 
The antennules are twenty-four-jointed, and extend beyond the end of the furca. 
The endopodite of the antennae is about three-fourths of the length of the exopodite, 
and bears eight + seven setae on the apical joint. 
The mandibles have a strongly toothed cutting edge. The first joint of the endopodite 
is furnished with two setae. 
The second joint of the basiopodite of the maxillae is furnished with five setae on its 
apex. The exopodite is furnished with eleven long setae. The endopodite is apparently indistinctly
