The fifth pair of feet is asymmetrical. The exopodite is composed of two joints. The joints 
of the left exopodite are distinctly longer than the joints of the right exopodite (Plate XLVIII, fig. 3). 
Length of male, 1,8 mm. 
The distal end of the right side of the second abdominal segment is produced into a 
well defined tooth (Plate XLVIII, fig. 4). 
The inner margin of the last joint of the left exopodite of the fifth pair of feet is furnished 
with a pad of fine hairs. The palm-like margin of the first joint of the right exopodite is 
produced into three strong blunt teeth. The claw-like second joint has three small pointed 
Fecwie (rate XIEVIII,- fie. 5): 
The apical portion of the second maxillipedes of both sexes is composed of five joints. 
Calanopia elliptica appears to be generally distributed in the warm regions of the Indian 
and Pacific Oceans. It has also been found in the Red Sea.

This form may easily be passed over as a small variety of Calanopia elliptica. On 
careful examination it is seen to be very distinct. This small form was not so widely distributed 
as Calanopia elliptica, but it was rather more plentiful in the samples where it was noted. 
Calanopia minor was found in the plankton collected at the following stations.

The collection taken at Station 142 yielded 1850 specimens. This number was repre- 
sented by 983 females and 867 males. 
Length of female, 1,4 mm. 
The combined length of the abdomen and furca is contained one and three-fourth times 
in the total length of the cephalothorax, from the frontal margin to the base of the genital 
segment. The second abdominal segment is distinctly longer than the genital segment. The 
fureal joints are twice as long as broad. 
The fifth pair of feet is quite symmetrical. The exopodite is one-jointed. It terminates 
in one long spine and one short spine. The long spine is on the inside. The distal part of 
the outer margin is furnished with one short spine (Plate XLVIII, fig. 8). 
Length of male, 1,2 mm. 
The second abdominal segment has no spiniform process on the right side.
