Sidste Par Halefodder (Fig. 5 V) or forholdsvis korte 
og oven-agor neppe dot foregaaende Par. Af Grenene er 
'^ en ydre forsynet med en Pad Borster i den one Kant; 
i'ldj’o er noget kortere, sylformigt tilspidset og borstelps. 
Halevedhsenget (Fig. 5 m) er smrdeles kort og bagtil 
iorsyn(>t mod et vinkelformigt Indsnit, der dog ikke stuekkor 
S1 g Itengere end til Midten af Vedhmngets Lamgde ; Side- 
kipperne er i Spidsen afstumpede. 
Farven er som lios de ovrige Arter ensformig [graa- 
h'id uden Pigment. 
Lsengden gaar op til 13”"” og er saaledes betydelig 
st0rre end bos nogen af de tidligere bekjendte Arter. 
Forekomst og Udbredning. NicrviErctule Art synes 
,l(: vasre en af de for Nordhavets starve Dybder mest char- 
dc teristiske Amphipoder. Vi bar noterot den fra ikke rain- 
l ^e end 15 forskjellige Stationer, alle tilharende den kolde 
Ai'ea, Dybden fra 350 til 1215 Favne. 
Artens for Tiden bekjendte Udbredningsfelt er her- 
itor Nordhavets starre Dyb fra den 63de til den 75de 
Bredegrad og fra 16° 0. L. til 12° Y. L. 
The last pair of caudal stylets (fig. 5 l) are compara- 
tively short, projecting scarcely at all over the preceding 
pair. Of the branches, the outer is provided with a row 
of bristles along one of the margins; the inner is somewhat 
shorter, awlshaped-acute, and without bristles. 
The telsou (fig. 5 m) is exceedingly short, and has 
posteriorly an angular incision, which, however, does not 
extend farther down than the middle of the appendage; 
the lateral lobes are obtuse at the extremity. 
Colour, as in the other species, a uniform whitish-grey, 
without any distinct pigmentation. 
Length reaching 13""", and hence greater than in any 
of the previously known species. 
Occurrence and Distribution. — The present species 
would seem to be one of the Amphipods most peculiar to 
the great depths of the Northern Ocean. We have recorded 
the animal from not less than 15 different Stations, all in 
the cold area; depth ranging from 350 to 2215 fathoms. 
Hence, the. tract of distribution throughout which the 
species is at precent known to occur, comprises the great 
depths of the Northern Ocean, extending from the 63rd 
to the 75th parallel of latitude and from long. 16° E. to 
long. 12 u W.

Bemserkninger. De 2 foreliggende Exemplarer af 
^l'vaerende Form har alle Characterer af at v;ere Hanner, 
Speeifie Character. — Body somewhat compressed, 
with posterior division distinctly carinated above; keels of 
4th and last abdominal segments separated by a deep inci- 
sion. Frontal plate short and obtuse. Lateral plates of 
3rd abdominal segment obtusely rounded posteriorly. No 
eyes. Antennae exceedingly robust, with peduncles of 
both exclusive of the usual bristles, having on inner side 
dose-set fascicles of delicate cilia. The 5 anterior pairs 
of legs about as in the preceding species. Sixth pair of 
legs with outer articulation provided merely with short 
spines. Last pair of legs with basal joint greatly dilated, 
posteriorly uniformly arched, anteriorly not angular. Last 
pair of caudal stylets with both branches membranous, 
lanceolate, and clothed along the edges with short hairs. 
Telson cleft to base. Colour greyish-white. Length 10’"™.
