Lepas, thus giving good base for a judgement of the affinities of 
the genus as a whole. 
Hetevalepas (Pavalepas) movula (Hoek). 
38° 12’ S., 149° 40’ E., 100 —160 fathoms. „Endeavour“ 16/IX 14. One 
specimen attached to the naked axis of an antipatharian to- 
gether with Oxynaspis and Balanus. 
The specimen is much greater than those described by Hoek 
(1907). It has a capitulum of 13, a peduncle of 7 mm, and is 
thus almost exactly twice as large as the largest specimen from 
the „Siboga“, which had a capitulum of 6,5, and a peduncle of 
4 mm. 
Hetevalepas (Pavalepas) intevmedia (Hoek). 
39° 10’ S., 149° 55’ *E., 200—250 fathoms. „Endeavour“ 15/IX 14. 
Several specimens on spines of a Histocidaris. 
Owing to contractions the external shape of the animals is ex- 
ceedingly variable. The largest specimen has a capitulum of 13 mm 
in length; its greater sagittal axis is 10 mm, the transversal 8 
mm ; the peduncle is only 3 mm long with a width of 6 mm and 
is strongly contracted and sharply defined from the capitulum. There 
is a pronounced carinal keel on the capitulum; the aperture is 
tightly closed and 4 mm long. The smallest of the specimens has 
only a capitulum length of 1,5 mm with a peduncle of 1 mm in 
length. Also in the smaller specimens the carinal keel is seen, 
and often rather pronounced. In intermediate specimens this char¬ 
acter with strong contraction almost entirely fades away, and some- 
times the peduncle is contracted to such a degree that the entire 
animal is all but globular. This bids us use 
characters as length of the peduncle, and 
greater or lesser prominence of a carinal 
keel in preserved animals with the utmost 
cautiousness. 
The animal itself on the whole agrees 
very well with the „Siboga“ specimens, al- 
though some minute differences could be 
detected in the mouth feet (Fig. 34). There 
is a little difference between the description 
and drawing of the mandible in Hoek’s 
Fig. 34. Heteralepas inter¬ 
mediet from 39° 10’ S., 149°
