mouth organs at various stages confirms the identification of the specimens with E. 
superba. 
This brief resume of the development, 1 think, justifies the view that E. 
antarctica and E. glacialis represent stages in the development of E. superba , and must 
therefore be regarded as synonymous with that species. 
It should be mentioned that Hodgson’s types of E. australis differ in no way from 
E. superba (females), except in being considerably damaged.

Form, moderately robust. 
Carapace (Plate II., Figs. 1 and 2), with a prominent, rather long and acute 
spine on its lateral margins, a little anterior to the middle, and just above the 
insertion of the second thoracic limb ; antero-lateral angles terminating in an 
acute spine ; anterior margins inflated above the eyes talks and produced into a long- 
acute rostrum extending to the visual part of the eye and about half-way along the 
basal joint of the antennular peduncle; there is a faint gastro-hepatic groove and 
a distinct keel runs forward medio-dorsally from the latter into the rostrum. 
Pleon (Plate II., Fig. l) without ridges or dorsal spines; none of the epimeral 
plates much produced ; sixth segment about one and a half times as long as the 
fifth ; preanal spine well developed and usually simple, but in large examples bifid. 
Eyes (Plate II., Fig. f) globose and rather large; greatest diameter of the 
cornea exceeding half the length of the last pleon segment; pigment black. 
Antennular peduncle (Plate II., Fig. 2), with the basal joint as long as the second 
and third joints combined and much wider; no lobe or lappet; a row of about 
twelve long curved plumose setae set on a ridge on the distal part of its length ; 
a short stout spine on the outer distal corner, which is more or less concealed by 
the numerous setae which arm the outer half of the anterior margin and the distal
