486 PROFESSOR CHARLES CHILTON ON THE 
pereeopods. In these characters it differs from L. consanguinea, which has been taken 
off South Africa and at Kerguelen and Heard Islands. 
Another species, L. xquabilis, described by SrepBine, 1910a, pp. 588 and 638, 
from Australian seas, seems to be closely allied, and all three species present many 
points of resemblance to ZL. jfissicornas (Sars), found in the Arctic and North 
Atlantic Oceans. 
[. dubia is now known from Australia, New Zealand, South Victoria Land, the 
South Orkneys, and South Africa. 
From Mangareva Island, Gambier Archipelago, M. Cuevreux has described a 
species, L. proxvma, 3 mm. long, which is, he says, very near to L. pallida (Sp. Bate) 
and L. brevicornis (Bruzelius). It seems also to be very close to LZ. dubia or to L. 
equabilis, the latter of which is, according to SreBBine, in close agreement with 
L. brevicornis. 
Genus EPIMERIA. 
Epimeria macrodonta Walker, 
Epimeria macrodonta Walker, 1906, p. 16, and 1907, p. 24, pl. viii. fig. 14. 
Coats Land, Station 411; trap, 161 fathoms; lat. 74° 1’ S., long. 22° W. 
10th March 1904. One specimen, 25 mm. long. 
This specimen must, I think, undoubtedly belong to Watkrr’s species, but it differs 
a little in the arrangement of some of the numerous teeth. The first seoment of the 
pereeon has a short dorsal tooth and a small lateral tooth; there are no teeth on the 
short second segment; the other segments of the pereeon and those of the pleon bear 
dorsal and lateral teeth as described by Watker. The first segment of the urus bears 
a strong dorsal tooth as described, but on the second segment there is a tooth placed a 
little laterally on each side on the posterior margin, and there is a lateral carina ending 
in sharp teeth on the third segment. ‘The first joint of the peduncle of the first antenna 
bears a long tooth on the under side at the extremity, in addition to the two lateral 
teeth ; the inner tooth on the second joint is much longer than the outer one. ‘The eye 
is large, round, and projects as a hemisphere from the side of the head; in the spirit 
specimen it is yellowish in colour. 
This species seems to come near to /. loricata Sars, which is widely distributed in 
northern seas, and appears to differ only in the arrangement of the teeth on the pleon 
and urus, and in the acuteness of the dorsal teeth—points which are probably subject 
to variation. 
Mr Watker’s specimens were from the Winter Quarters of the Discovery in 
M‘Murdo Strait, South Victoria Land.
