564 DR THOMAS SCOTT ON THE 
Habitat.—Amongst small shells and other things collected on the shores of the 
Falkland Islands in Port Stanley by the s.y. Scotia; Station 118, 51° 41’S., 57° 51’ W. 
Remarks.—Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the present species and 
the two already described is the absence of the tooth-like process on the second joint ° 
of the antennules. But there is also a slight difference in the form of the fifth pair 
of thoracic legs of the female, as well as of the caudal rami. Named in compliment to 
Mr Mossman, meteorologist to the Expedition. 
Fam. LaopHONTID. 
Genus Laophonte, Philippi, 1840. 
Laophonte rottenburgi, new species. (PI. VII. figs. 1--6.) 
Female.—Body narrow, elongated. Length, 1 mm. (51; of an inch). 
Antennules seven-jointed; first three moderately stout and of nearly equal length ; the 
fourth and fifth joints are short, while the next two are each about twice as long as the 
fifth. The second joint is produced behind into a stout, blunt-pointed tooth (fig. 1). 
Antenne and mouth-organs somewhat similar to those of the next species. 
The first pair of thoracic legs are moderately stout; the outer ramus is composed 
of three subequal joints, and reaches to about the middle of the first jomt of the inner 
ramus. ‘The inner ramus is tolerably elongated ; the first joint is long and narrow, and 
bears seven or eight widely scattered hairs on the inner margin; the terminal claw is 
long and tolerably stout (fig. 3). In the next three pairs, the first jomt of the inner 
ramus is very short, but the second is moderately elongated. 
In the fifth pair, which are comparatively small, the proximal joint is of moderate 
size and broadly subtriangular, and the distal end, which reaches beyond the middle 
of the second joint, is obliquely truncated and furnished with about five sete; the three 
on the inner margin are set widely apart, while the two at the outer distal angle of the 
joint are moderately close together, with a considerable space between them and the 
nearest of the other three; the second joint is broadly ovate, transversely truncated 
at the end, and furnished with four setee on the truncated margin and two on the 
outer margin, as shown in the drawing (fig. 5). 
Caudal rami short. 
Halitat.—South Orkney Islands, in siftings from some dredged material collected 
in June 1903; Station 325, 60° 43’ 42” S., 44° 38’ 33” W. 
Remarks.—This species is easily distinguished from the other species of Laophonte 
described here by the structure of the antennules and of the last pair of thoracic legs. 
Named in compliment to Dr Paut Rorrengure, a subscriber and one of the members 
of Committee. 
Laophonte australis, new species. (PI. XI. figs. 10-17.) 
Female.—Body slender and elongated; similar to Luophonte minuta, Boeck, in 
general appearance. Length, 0°77 mm. (fig. 10).
