The Schizopoda coUected by the Maia and Puritan in the Mediterranean. 125 
on the contrary, were, with very few exceptioDS, considerably daraaged. 
This fact made it easy io separate the two species from a gatherÌDg. 
Under the name N. mantis, this species has been recorded by 
Chun (1896) from the Mediterranean. 
10. Stylocheiron suhmi Gl. 0. Sars. 
S. mastìgophorum (pars), Lo Bianco (1901 and 1903). 
S. suhmi, Hansen (1905 a). 
This species occurred in 9 hauls from the Maia and in 20 from 
the Puri tan. The largest number in a single haul was 16, so that 
the species was not nearly so abundant in point of number as some 
of the previously mentioned Euphausians, though it appeared to bave 
been almost as widely distributed. This is the species noted by 
Lo Bianco as S. mastigophoì^um Chun (1888), a species which Hansen 
has shown to be synonymous with S. suhmi G. 0. Sars. 
11. Stylocheiron abbreviatum G. 0. Sars. 
S. mastigophorum (pars), Lo Bianco (1901 and 1903). 
S. chelifer. Lo Bianco (1903). 
8. abbreviatum, Hansen (1905a). 
S. abbreviatum was almost as equally well represented as S. suhmi. 
It occurred in 4 hauls from the Maia and 21 from the Puritan. 
Like S. suhmi the number of specimens in a haul was few, the 
largest number from a gathering being 13. The largest specimen 
measured 21 mm. Dr. Lo Bianco, in recording an elongate leg of 
this species which was found in the gathering from St. 41, 1902, 
and which measured 27 mm in length, has calculated that the spe- 
cimen to which it belonged must bave measured about 40 mm, 
basing bis estimate on the drawings given by Chun of this species 
from specimens, 14 mm in length. This would be, as Lo Bianco 
remarks, a gìgantic length for a specimen of Stylocheiron. It must 
not be forgotten, however, that the elongate legs of Stylocheiron 
and its allies increase in length proportionately faster than the body, 
so that to judge of the possible length of a specimen from the 
isolated elongate legs, basing the estimation on the proportion of 
these limbs to the body length in small specimens, would lead to 
an erroneous result. 
Larvae belonging to various species of adult Euphausians were 
present in the majority of the gatherings. They were not referred
