figures of the fifth pair are very little different from the figures published by me in 1902. The 
small differences mentioned by WoLFENDEN are due to the preparation being examined from a 
slightly different position. My paper was published some three years before the appearance of 
WOLFENDEN’s report on the Copepoda collected by J. SranLEy GarpDINER around the Maldive Islands. 
G. SmiTH (1909), p. 60, makes the following statement regarding the distribution of the 
Candactidae. “Some species, e.g. C. fectemata Brady, have a practically world-wide distribution, 
“this species being recorded from the Shetlands and from the Phillipines”. I am unable to find 
any record from the PAzllipine area except the one given by Brapy in the report on the 
‘Challenger’ Copepoda. The form illustrated in that report as Candace fectinata represents at 
least four distinct species, none of which are identical with it. The illustrations on Plate XXX 
in the ‘Challenger’ report represent Candacia btpinnata, C. curta, C. varicans and C. brady. 
Candace pectinata Brady (1878), was shewn by Sars (1902) to be identical with Candace armata’ 
Boeck (1872), and the distribution is stated to be British Isles (BRapy), Atlantic Ocean, between 
Lat. 33° and 50° N. (Creve), Mediterranean (GIESBRECHT). Sars records it from the Coast of 
Norway and from the East of Iceland. Esterty records andi illustrates Candacza pectinata from 
the Pacific in the vicinity of San Diego, California. WHEELER (1900) records it from Woods Hole. 
12. Candacia discaudata nov. sp. Plate XLVII, figs. 10—20. 
Female — length 1,94 mm. 
Seen from above, the body appears rather short and moderately robust. The frontal 
margin is truncate. The distal ends of the last thoracic segment terminate in short spiniform 
projections. Viewed from the side, the cephalic segment is considerably vaulted. The spiniform 
projection of the last thoracic segment is directed ventrally (Plate XLVI, fig. 11). 
The combined length of the abdomen and furca is contained two 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 slightly asymmetrical when viewed from above. It is without lateral 
projections. Each side is furnished with one short setae. The length of the segment is nearly 
equal to the combined length of the next two segments. The second segment is broadly 
wedge-shaped. Its length is equal to fully one-half of the length of the genital segment. The 
anal segment is very short. It is distinctly asymmetrical. The furcal joints are twice as long as 
broad (Plate XLVII, fig. 10). When viewed from the side, the distal end of the second segment 
is seen to be considerably expanded. The distal end is much wider than the proximal end of 
the next segment. The anal segment is very narrow. It is only equal to one-half of the width 
of the distal end of the second segment (Plate XLVII, fig. 11). 
The antennules are composed of twenty-three joints, and reach to the middle of the 
genital segment. 
- The antennae, mandibles, maxillae and maxillipedes are similar to those of Candacza 
norvegica (Boeck). The middle joint of the first maxillipedes is furnished with two spines. The 
proximal spine is slightly longer and thicker than the distal one. The first proximal spine on 
the third joint is much thicker than the second proximal spine (Plate XLVII, fig. 13).
