510 PROFESSOR CHARLES CHILTON ON THE 
I have been forced to make a new species for these specimens from South Africa, 
from which locality no species of Hyale appears to have been hitherto recorded. The 
species appears to come very close to H. camptonyx (Heller), from the Mediterranean 
and North Atlantic, but it differs in a few points mentioned in the description above, and 
particularly in the peculiar and apparently characteristic expansion of the first joint of 
the peduncle of the upper antenna. H. schmidti (Heller), also from the North Atlantic, 
seems to be pretty closely allied also, but has the second antenna much longer. 
In many respects the present species is similar to H. media (Dana), which is known 
from several localities on the borders of the Atlantic Ocean, but it seems to be clearly 
distinguished from that species by the absence of the “very large submedian serrate 
spine” on the propod of pereeopoda 3 to 5.

South Orkneys, Scotia Bay, Station 325; 9-10 fathoms. May 1903. Five 
specimens, 
The largest of these specimens is 7 mm. long. They agree closely with New 
Zealand specimens. 
The species is widely distributed in southern seas.

Gough Island, Station 461; trawl, 100 fathoms. 28rd April 1904. Two small 
specimens: the one a male, 4 mm., probably immature ; the other a female, 
5 min. 
I refer these specimens to this species with considerable doubt; but if, as Mr 
STEBBING suggests, H. atlanticus is only a variety of this species, it appears to be a 
variable one, and it may perhaps be extended sufficiently to include forms now being 
considered. ‘The male specimen probably has not acquired the fully adult characters. 
The female specimen differs from Srepprne’s description in having the eyes oval 
and of normal shape; the first gnathopod (fig. 30) has the carpus longer than the 
propod, and the whole limb is more slender; the second gnathopod (fig. 31) is also 
longer, the carpus is not cup-shaped but sub-triangular, widening distally, and is about
