14 G. O. SARS. PRELIMINARY NOTICES ON THE SCHIZOPODA. 



15 Euphausia splendens Dana. 



Euphausia splendens, Dana, United States Expl. Exped. Vol. XIII, Crustacea, 

 pg. 642, pl. 42, fig. 5, a-h. 



Form of body. somewhat more robust, than in the two last 

 species. Carapax with a single lateral dentiele about the middle 

 of the inferior margin; anterior part slightly keeled above; rostrum 

 very short, scarcely surpassing the ocular segment. Epimera of the 

 postabdominal segments, rather small, and evenly rounded. Last 

 segment longer than the preceeding; præanal spine simple, ungvi- 

 form. Eyes rather large, pyriform. Antennular peduncle without 

 any dorsal leaflet, but provided, close to the end of the basal joint 

 above. with a fascicle of very strong and curved setæ. Antennal 

 scale slightly surpassing the 2nd joint of the antennular peduncle, 

 oblong. truncated at the apex, without any dentiele on the outer 

 edge; basal spine of moderate length, and distinctly serra te at the 

 inner margin. Telson with 2 pairs of dorsal denticles, the sub- 

 apical spines rather elongated, and narrow, smooth. Uropods a 

 iittle shorter than the telson. the outer lamella slightly surpassing 

 the inner. Length: 18 mm. 



Hab. South Atlantic, Subantarctic Ocean, South of the Cape 

 of Good Hope, and of Kerguelen, South Pacific; surface. 



Remarks. It is rather difficult to decide with full certainty, 

 whether this form, in reality, is identical with Dana's E. splendens, 

 or belongs to some other allied species. Supposing however, that 

 the species described by Dana must, in all probability, be repre- 

 sented in the rich collection of "Challenger" Euphausiidæ, I believe 

 this form to be the one most properly referable to that species. 



16. Euphausia Murray i n. sp. 



General form of body about as that of the last species. Carapax 

 somewhat more elongated, with a single lateral dentiele placed 

 somewhat in front of the middle of the inferior margin; anterior 

 part slightly keeled above, rostrum short triangular, frontal margin 

 forming an obtuse angle on both sides, above the eyes. Epimera
