COPEPODA—BRADY. 33 
furcal laminge about twice as long as broad. Anterior antennie five-jointed; posterior 
simple, bearing a stout apical claw and several short spine-like sete; endopodite of the 
first foot much longer than the three-jointed exopodite; second, third and fourth pairs 
of feet with three-jointed exopodites and short, slender endopodites of one joint; fifth 
pair foliaceous, imperfectly divided into an outer and inner segment; maxillipeds and 
mandible normal. Male unknown. 
Only two examples of this species have been seen, taken off Macquarie Island at 
Stations 1 and 5. 
LAOPHONTODES ANTARCTICUS sp. nov. 
(Plate XI, figs. 10-17.) 
Female.—Length 0-87 mm. Seen laterally the abdomen is nearly equal in width to 
the cephalothorax, the dividing lines between the various body segments are sharply 
constricted, and the dorsal surfaces of the segments bear tufts of short sete; the furcal 
laminee are distant one from the other, linear and equal in length to the last abdominal 
segment; seen dorsally the abdominal segments are much constricted in front, rounded 
off and dilated behind. Anterior antenne five jointed, much more slender than those 
of the preceding species, terminal joint three times as long as broad, about equal in length 
to the second and third joints; the swimming feet are of the normal type; fifth pair simple 
bi-articulate; the first joint wedge-shaped, expanded distally and bearing a single 
rather stout seta, second joint smaller and bearing two marginal and two apical sete. 
One specimen only was observed, from a depth of 45 fathoms, among pack-ice, 
Station 7. 
LLAOPHONTODES ECHINATUS sp. nov. 
(Plate XII, figs. 1-8.) 
Female.—Length 0:87 mm. Cephalic segment wide and subtruncate in front, 
from which the body gradually tapers backwards; seen dorsally or ventrally the 
cephalic and the anterior thoracic segments are produced laterally forming strong 
spinous processes directed backwards, and in a similar manner the first three segments 
of the urosome are armed with strongly-curved spines, which are marginally ciliated ; 
the caudal rami slender, ciliated and equal in length to the two preceding segments 
of the urosome; ovisacs large and containing numerous ova. Anterior antennie slender 
five (or six?) jointed, the two proximal joints much longer than the distal ones ; posterior 
of the usual type, unbranched; posterior maxilliped normal, much attenuated ; first pair 
of natatory feet not seen; second, third and fourth pairs normal, fifth pair composed of 
a wide basal joint with two branches, one of which is bi-articulate. One imperfect 
specimen was found (Station 7) and some important parts—notably the first pair of 
feet and the anterior antenne—were either wanting or incomplete, so that the generic 
reference must for the present be looked upon as merely. provisional,
