The Antarctic specimens which I refer to this species differ in the following- 
points from.all the northern specimens with which 1 have compared them :— 
The hairs scattered over the surface of the body are much longer and more 
conspicuous, though not, apparently, more numerous. The sides of the carapace are

more distinctly flattened or even slightly hollowed, especially over an oblique area, 
defined above and below by rows of tubercles, and corresponding apparently to the 
lateral groove of C. sulcata. The dorsal tubercles of the first five abdominal somites 
are replaced by sharp teeth (Text-fig. 4), pointing backwards, and having the 
edges more or less distinctly serrated ; and they are accompanied on each somite by 
a pair of dorso-lateral teeth, which are hardly indicated in the northern specimens. 
The constriction of the fifth somite (Text-fig. 4) is much more strongly marked, 
and the posterior margin of the somite is produced, on the dorsal side, into a 
curved median tooth, serrated on the upper margin, in place of a small tubercle 
in the northern specimens. The thoracic limbs do not differ perceptibly in the form, 
relative proportions or armature of the various segments. The uropods (fig. 16) have 
the peduncle much more strongly serrated, and the teeth on the inner margin are 
spinifonn, curved and irregular in size. The inner edge of the endopod is also more 
distinctly serrated. The specimens are larger than any others I have seen. Adult 
females measure 5*35 mm. in length of body.
