Crustacea Malacostraca. IV.

VI. The Order Cumacea. I ntrod uct ion.
Before entering on the subject of the present paper I may refer to "Introductory Remarks" in "Crustacea Malacostraca I" published in iqo8, because they contain various statements that need not be repeated here. In that chapter I explained the limits of the area investigated by the "Ingolf" and other Danish ex- peditions to our northern dependencies; the principal sources (apart from the "Ingolf") for the material examined were enumerated, and the principles followed as to "occurrence" and "distribution" were laid down. Zoologists wishing to get some information on these and allied topics may find them in the paper mentioned.
Our earlier knowledge of the Cumacea living at the coasts of Greenland in depths down to nearly a hundred fathoms was rather good, but as to the fauna of the deeper tracts of the adjacent seas it was very poor. In 1887 I recorded 16 species, deep-sea forms included, belonging to the fauna of West Greenland; in 191 5 K. Stephensen enumerated only the same number for both sides of Greenland. From the coasts of Iceland onlv 2 species of Cumacea have been recorded (by G. O. Sars), and none from the Faeroes; from the deeper tracts around Iceland and the areas north-west, west, and south-west of the Faeroes (southwards to L,at. 6o° N.) scarcely more than a single species was known. In the present paper 66 species are enumerated, and all, excepting 2 species from very deep water and not seen by me, have been secured by Danish expedi- tions; 24 species are described as new. The "Ingolf" has gathered 41 species; 18 species have been taken exclusively by that expedition, and 14 species are new to science. During the cruizes of the "Thor" Dr. Joh. Schmidt brought together a magnificent material; he captured no less than 33 species (species secured at places outside the "Ingolf" area not included); 16 of these species were taken exclusively by him, and 8 are new to science. Among the new species described on the following pages only 1 has been taken by two expeditions, viz. both by the "Ingolf" and the "Thor". Only 9 of the 66 species have not been met with either by the "Ingolf" or the "Thor"; 3 of them are new to science and have been gathered by the Ilnd Amdrup- Expedition (Mag. sc. Soren Jensen), while the 2 species not seen by me were captured by the "Valorous" (Rev. Canon A. M. Norman). Of course a number of the species taken by the "Ingolf" or the "Thor" have also been gathered by various other Danish expeditions or collectors.

On the Literature.
On this topic very little need to be said. During the years [899 101 ; .1 series ol verj important papers have been published by G O. Sars, W. T. Caiman, T. R. R. Stebbing and C. Zimmer. In his book mi the Cumacea in "Das Tierreich", 39 Lief., [913, Stebbing has compiled and quoted the whole- literature until 1912, and for this reason I have referred to his most useful hook in the synonymical list at every spe< ies Zoologists wishing to get further knowledge on synonymy than the generally rather tew references in the
sent paper can easily find them in "Has Tierreich". Zimmer's original contribution to the knowledge
of the northern fauna is of slight importance, but his paper on the Cumacea in "Deutsche Siidpolar-Expedi-
tion 1901—1903 Bd. XIV. Zool., VI, p. 438 491 (published in r.913) contains a very interesting chapter;
"Zirkumpolaritat und Bipolaritat" (p. 183 488), in which an outline <>t the classification of families and
'..\ followed by me is given, together with the number of species of each genus in the five climatic /ones
■ he oceans
Results and Questions.
A The Material.
A comparison ol the Cumacea from the "Ingolf" area with the world's fauna of the same order may
me interest. In 101 ; Stebbing states to have enumerated 509 accepted and 23 doubtful species; of
the latti reat majority will certainly disappear as unrecognizable for ever or synonyms, and
only ■ established since [91 ;. It we therefore put the total number of valid species
Hit 1 . blished to [15, we must be near the truth. Compared with that number 66 species from the "In-
rhaps somewhat more than might be expected.
rrangement of families and then genera ol the world's fauna is that published by Zimmer in i 'ln-r little from that adopted by Caiman, and Caiman's arrangement differs somewhat
Zimmer accepted onlj 7 families, and it is very interesting that 6 ol these
il the seventh family, the Ceratocumidae, only a single species
idded that the large familj Bodotriidse, which has very few species in the cold areas
is poorly represented in the 'Ingoli area, while the some-
CRUSTACEA MALACOSTRACA. IV
wliat smaller family L,eueonidte, of which not a single species is tropical, has a very high number of species, viz. 22, in our area.
As to number of species in our area a comparison of the Cumacea with Isopoda and Tanaidacea is rather suggestive. Of the order Tanaidacea Sars described 28 species from Norway, while I (1913) enumer- ated from the "Ingolf" area 78 species, 52 of which were new to science; of Isopoda Sars has 84 species from Norway, while I (1916) counted from our area 164 species, 70 of which were new. Compared with these astonishing results the outcome as to Cumacea is proportionately moderate, viz. from Norway according to Sars 49 species, while I enumerate 66 species, 24 among them new. As a very large number of the Tanai- dacea and many Isopoda are smaller and not more easy to detect in sifted bottom material than the Cumacea, and as the animals of all three orders have been searched after with the same care and interest in the same samples, it follows that the fauna in our area of the last-named order must be much less exceeding that of Norway (or Great Britain) than is the case with that of Tanaidacea and Isopoda in proportion to the Nor- wegian (or British) fauna of these orders. An explanation can partly be derived from some facts to be pointed out later on as to bathy metrical distribution.
B. The Classification.
The shape and morphological structure of the appendages is on the whole well known at least in one form and frequently in some species of most genera. Nevertheless, the value of a number of genera is rather questionable, and, what is more important, some of the families are not very well defined. G. O. Sars, the first author who divided the order into families, accepted in 1879 8, in 1899-1900 9 families ; Caiman established a new family on an aberrant form discovered at Ireland, but both the last-named author and C. Zimmer pointed out in various papers the difficulty or impossibility of maintaining a few of the older families, and the result is that 3 were cancelled, so that Zimmer in 1913 has 7 families; this arrangement is, I think, the best hitherto proposed. Stebbing divided in 1912 and in "Das Tierreich", 1913, the order into 26 families, but this radical splitting has already been criticized by Zimmer, and I cannot follow the highly meritorious English author in his classification. But his attempt has a peculiar interest, because it is a symptom or indi- rect indication of the difficulty every Zoologist will find in trying to circumscribe natural and well defined families in this order. In my opinion we must know at least twice, perhaps three times as many species as hitherto described — especially of the fauna living in from 100 to about 600 fathoms in tropical and sub- tropical seas — before we can hope to ameliorate the classification in points essential. And perhaps the task will prove itself partly insoluble, as seems to be the case in the suborder Amphipoda Gammarida.
In the present paper not the slightest attempt of reform as to families has been made. The large ma- terial contained certainly a good number of new species, but not one among them differed so much from a previously well-known species, that it became necessary or even possible to establish a new genus for its reception. And the types of the genera dealt with here were all well studied. The only thing I could make is in a few cases to lay more stress than generally made on some differences serviceable as specific characters; for inst. the shape, relative size and serration of the joints in third pair of maxillipeds in Procampylaspis and ( timpylaspis (and perhaps in several other genera) ought to be considered more carefully than generally believed.

36, 1435 fath. But three other places, which have rather moderate depths and yielded lower numbers of Ta- naidacea and Isopoda than the deeper stations just enumerated, gave the richest harvest of Cumacea. The places in question are: "Ingolf" Stat. 32, 318 fath. (temp. 3.90), with 12 species; the "Thor" at Bat. 6i°o7' N., Long. cj°3o' W., 443 fath., with 13 species, and at Lat. 6i°i5' N., Bong. 9°35' W., 463 — 515 fath., with even 15 species, thus only a little less than one-fourth of the total number of species in the area.
As only rather few species of Cumacea are restricted to depths from a few and down to 50 — 60 fa- thoms, the majority live most frequently or always in considerable depths, while only 15 species (2 among them only taken by the "Valorous") have been found in depths from 1000 to 1870 fathoms, and only 10 of these are known exclusively from these depths; 8 of these 10 species are new to science.
Of Tanaidacea the "Thor" secured only a few species, of Isopoda scarcely */i of all species known from the area, but of Cumacea 33 species, half of the whole number known from our area, while the "Ingolf" had only somewhat more, viz. 41 species. The geographical and bathymetrical distribution of the species of Cu- macea helps somewhat to understand that remarkable fact. Many of the "Ingolf" stations are in the cold area, which has a very poor fauna of this order. Furthermore stations with the depth exceeding 600 fathoms yielded , with a single exception, a comparatively considerably or much lower number of Cumacea than of Tanaida- cea and Isopoda. The highest number of species was taken both by the "Ingolf" and the "Thor" at places with depths between 300 and 600 fathoms; finally the bottom of the two above-named places, where the "Thor" gathered the very high number of Cumacea, must be especially tit for animals of this order.
Family Bodotriidae.
Ot this rich family, which is widely distributed in warmer temperate and in tropical seas, only two genera have been found in the "Ingolf" area.
CydaSpiS G. O. Sars. The single European species of this large genus occurs in the southern part of our area.

Bonnier has described and figured the sculpture on the carapace, but did not perceive that many of the so-called "cellules" have at the middle a more or less elevated granule. — A feature, which seems to have been overlooked by authors, is that in females and immature males (adult males are unknown to me) the distal part of the upper margin of the peduncle of the uropods has 3 or 4 saw-teeth.

CRUSTACKA MALACOSTRACA. IV.
Family Leuconidae.
As to geographical distribution this moderately large family is extremely different from the Bodo- triidae. While, as pointed out by Zimmer, the latter family has a greater number of forms in the tropical than in the northern or southern temperate seas, and only a couple of representatives, both deep-sea forms, within the "Ingolf" area, no member of the Leuconidae has been found in the tropical seas, while a rather good number of forms inhabit the boreal-arctic and the subantarctic and antarctic seas. Three well-known genera are represented in the "Ingolf" area.
LeUCOn Kroyer.
Of this genus the "Ingolf" and the "Thor" together has secured a large number of forms, viz. all species taken in the area in question by earlier expeditions excepting L. longirostris G. O. Sars, furthermore all species captured according to Sars at Norway and according to Caiman at Great Britain and Ireland, finally 5 new species. The result is that no less than 14 species (L. longirostris G. O. S. included) are known from our area, an astonishingly high number of this genus. A few species are found in rather low water or in moderate depths; several are mainly from depths between 200 and 600 fathoms, and some are real deep- sea forms.
The following arrangement, though partly somewhat artificial, may be of some use for the student of this somewhat difficult genus.
A Species with an extremely long, freely projecting branchial siphon.
3. Leucon siphonatus Calm.

The single specimen is a female with marsupium, ^,.j mm. long. It agrees on the whole well with Caiman's description and figures; especially the somewhat curved pseudorostrum with its very concave lower margin is most characteristic. On the anterior part of one of the sides of the carapace I have counted at least 16 teeth. More than the anterior half of the lower margin of the carapace is serrated, but most of the teeth are difficult to see because they are almost subparallel with the margin. Pseudorostrum has 5 teeth on the upper margin, but the single tooth anteriorly on the dorsal crest in Caiman's Irish specimen does not exist in my specimen. The upper part of the anterior margin of third free thoracic segment has several fine teeth, but no armature could be perceived on any of the other segments. In the antennula; the third joint of the peduncle is nearly as long, but only half as thick, as the second ; it is nearly half as long again as the external flagellum. In second pair of legs the merus is very thick and short, the caqjus very slender and elongated, almost twice as long as the merus and a little longer than the two distal joints combined.

Pseudo- rostrum is considerably longer and scarcely curved; the dorsal edge and the anterior margin of the carapace have more teeth ; some of the thoracic segments have marginal teeth ; in second thoracic legs the carpus is still more elongated thaninZ,. siphonatus, while in the uropods the endopod is conspicuously longer than the exopod. — The rather mutilated adult female from the cold area differs from the specimens from the warm area only in having 5 instead of 2 or 3 small teeth on the dorsal edge of the carapace behind the interruption. - It may be noted that many of the teeth, f. instance on the lower margin of the carapace, are frequently difficult to count.
Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at three deep-sea stations in the warm and one station in the cold area.

5. Leucon tener n. sp.
(PI. I, figs. 2 a — 2C.)
Female (with marsupium). Carapace oblong, half as long again as deep, and when pseudorostrum is included twice as long as deep, about as long as the free segments combined. The serration on the dorsal edge occupies only about its anterior third, and in this third even a long interruption is found, as two teeth are seen anteriorly, then comes a smooth part and behind it 3 or 4 teeth. Pseudorostrum is considerably upturned, long, nearly Vs of the whole length of the carapace, with the narrow end obtuse and the upper margin slightly concave, while the lower margin is nearly straight and has two saw-teeth a little before the base of the antennuke. The frontal lobe on each side with two teeth, one towards the dorsal edge, the other a little above the lower margin. The antennal notch is feebly developed, as the antero-lateral corner of the carapace is slightly produced, terminating in a small tooth, above which two minor teeth are seen; the lower margin

Remarks. This small species is instantly recognized by the long pseudorosl mm, the very few dorsal saw-teeth on the carapace, two pairs oi teeth on the frontal lobe, and the rami of the uropods. In the two first-named features it shows relationsship to /.. spiniventris n. sp., but the latter is much larger and dii from /.. tener in several sharply pronounced features.

Distribution. The type was taken off Portugal at Lat. 3<S°7' N., Long. 9°i8' W., 550 fath. (G. O. Sars). Caiman recorded it from a place off the Un. States: Lat. 4o°i6'5o" N., Long. 67c,05'i5" W., 1290 fath., and from stations in the Mediterranean near Capri, 504 to 637 fath.
7. Leucon spiniventris n. sp.
(PI. I, figs. 3a— 3d).
Female (adult and subadult). Allied to L. longirostris G. O. S., but very distinct. Carapace with pseudorostrum about 4 times in total length; more than the posterior half of the dorsal crest is feebly curved, nearly horizontal, while its anterior part curves gradually considerably downwards and is armed with 2 tri- angular teeth very distant from one another, and the anterior somewhat behind the end of the frontal lobe ; the anterior tooth is moderately large, the posterior one considerably larger; the lateral surface of the frontal lobe without any tooth. Pseudorostrum is a little more than '/i of the total length of the carapace, directed considerably upwards and tapering from near the base to the subacute end ; its upper margin has the posterior half a little concave, while the lower margin has towards the base 2 distinct teeth and 1 rudimentary tooth. The antennal notch is regularly and somewhat flatly concave without any incision or tooth. The antero-lateral angle of the carapace is slightly produced and equipped with a strong tooth, behind which the lower margin has about 12 teeth. The pleural plate of the antepenultimate thoracic segment has its infero-posterior angle produced into a slender tooth turning downwards; the last thoracic segment has on the anterior half of its lower side two pairs of spiniform processes (fig. 3 c) directed downwards and forwards. The abdomen is rather robust and a little longer than the cephalothorax ; its first segment has below a pair of procurved, spiniform teeth (fig. 3 c).
The antennula? are moderately long; second joint of the peduncle is very thick, third joint much more slender, through still robust. The outer flagellum 3-joiuted; first joint almost as long as the third joint of the peduncle, and distinctly longer than second joint; the inner flagellum is a rather thick, subconical joint with the end obtuse, and it is somewhat shorter than first joint of the outer flagellum. Third maxillipeds without any conspicuous tooth on fourth or fifth joint. First thoracic legs without teeth on the lower side of second joint ; the propodus is a little longer than the carpus and considerably longer than the terminal joint. Second legs with the distal joints very robust ; carpus nearly as long as the two following joints combined. Fourth legs at least in the immature female (fig. 3e) with a spine directed forwards and somewhat upwards on the antero-interior side of second joint somewhat from its base. - - The uropods (fig. 3d) are a little shorter than the two distal abdominal segments combined. The peduncle in the adult with about 7 spines on its inner margin. The endopod is as long as the peduncle; its proximal joint at least five times as long as the distal joint which terminates in a strong, somewhat curved spine longer than the joint ; this distal joint has 4 or 5 spines on its inner margin, while the proximal joint has in the adult about 17 spines; among the 8 spines on its distal fourth 3 are long and strong, while 5 are rather short; in the immature specimen 14 or 15 spines were observed on the proximal joint. The exopod is considerably shorter than the endopod. Length of a female with brood in the marsupium 7 mm.

Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single place.
North- West Iceland: Dyre Fjord, 20 fath., mud; 13 specimens.
But this species has been secured at a good number of other localities within our area. Off West Green- land it has been captured at Proven (Lat. 72^23' N.), 200 — 300 fath., and at Nivak (Lat. 68°36' N.), 120 fath. (H.J.Hansen). The "Thor" gathered it south-west of Iceland: Lat. 63°46' N., Long. 22°56' W., 80 fath. (many hundreds of specimens), and south of Iceland: Lat. 63°i8' N., Long. 2i°3o' W., 94 fath. Furthermore it has been taken at North-West Iceland by Mag. W. Lundbeck in Onundar Fjord, 11 — 12 fath., ooze with a few stones and some alga? (large number of specimens), and by Mag. R. Horring in Dyre Fjord, 10 — 12 fath. ; off North Iceland by the "Thor" near Husa Vik, 42—53 fath.; at East Iceland by Mag. R. Horring in Fask- ruds Fjord, 50 — 20 fath., and by Dr. A. C. Johansen in Loons Vik, 40 fath., ooze and clay; finally south of Iceland by Dr. A. C. Johansen at Vestman-Islands, 68 — 70 fath., clay and ooze.
At East Greenland L. Nasica has been taken two times, viz. in Hekla Havn, Lat. jo°2j' N. (H. J. Hansen), and in Scoresby Sound, Lat. 70 43' N., 37 fath. (Ohlin).
Distribution. This species has a very wide distribution. It inhabits the Kattegat, especially its eastern parts, and goes southwards into the northern half of the Sound and the northern part of Store Belt and Odense Fjord; in these southern localities it has been taken in 9 fath., and even in "7 — 9" fath. ; in

East Greenland: North of Steward Land (ab, Lat. 70^0' N.), 158 fath., clay with stones; 1 specimen.
Distribution. Ohlin's specimens were taken at three stations at King Charles Island, Spitz- bergen, viz. in Bremer Sound. 53—58 fath., temp. 7 1.45° ; at Lat. /8°5o' N., Long. 27°^' E., 10 fath., temp. 0.2°, and at Lat. 78°5o' N., Long. 2g°39' E., 32 — 37 fath.; furthermore it is recorded from a place at East Spitzbergen, 45 fath., and from a locality north of Spitzbergen at Lat. 81 20' N., 530 fath. (Zimmer, in 1908). Stappers recorded 3 specimens from two hauls taken near one another south of Novaya Zemlya, Lat. 70 20' N., Long. 56°35' E. and 56°34' E., 48 fath.

Occurrence. Not taken by the "Ingolf", but captured by several other expeditions or collectors at various places within our area.
At West-Greenland it was known from Kekertak, Lat. 6g°58' N., 40 fath., and Godhavn, Lat. 69°i4'N. (H. J. Hansen) ; by Traustedt it has been gathered at Holstensborg, Lat. 66°56' N. It is not known from the northern, western or southern side of Iceland, but at East-Iceland it has been taken at four places, viz. in Bakke Fjord, 52 — 43 fath. ("Diana", by Dr. A. C. Johansen) ; Viid Fjord, 8—12 fath. (by Mag. R. Horring), Faskruds Fjord, 50 — 20 fath., blue clay (by Mag. R. Horring), and Breiddals Vik, 6 fath., mud and black sand, about 200 specimens (by Dr. A. C. Johansen). Off East Greenland it has been taken by the Ilnd Am- drup-Expedition at Cape Dalton, Lat. ca. 69°3o' N., 9 — 11 fath., 1 specimen, and it has been recorded from Hekla Havn, Lat. 70°27' N., 10 fath. (H. J. Hansen), and from S. of Little Pendulum Island, Lat. 74°35' N., Long. i8°23'W., 9—12 fath. (Ohlin).
Distribution. L. nasicoides has been recorded from the southern part of Kattegat, 14V2 to 20 fath., the Samso Belt, 7 and 11 fath., and the northern part of the Sound, 16 fath. ; furthermore from Skager Rak, no and 125 fath. (H. J. Hansen). At Norway it has been found in several localities from Christianiafjord to Lofoten, 10 to 50 fath., and at Hammerfest (G. O. Sars). Stappers recorded a good number of specimens from two hauls taken near one another south of Novaya Zemlya, Lat. 70 20' N., Long. 56 35' and 56^34' E., 48 fath. Off North America it has been recorded from the Gulf of St. Lawrence and from Eastport in the Bay of Fundy (S. I. Smith), finally from Lat. 45°29' N., Long. 55°24' W., 67 fath. (Caiman). -- Stebbing (1. c.) has among the localities "Spitzbergen", depth 1000 m. ; his authority is certainly Zimmer in "Fauna arctica", but he has overlooked that the last-named author in his Cumacea from the German "Tiefsee-Expedition", 1908, p. 178, says that the specimens from Spitzbergen determined by him in 1900 as L. nasicoides in reality belong to L. Nathorstii.

Tin- rding to S.us and Stappers, known only from depths between »> and so fathoms,

to .m«l 582 fathoms, ami even that a couple oi specimens from nearly 1200 fath .11 <1 to
tin- 1 have spent a good deal of time in search for any reliable character, by which it would In- possible
the specimens from more than 50 or 100 fathoms to another species, but without result . In tin- cara] the antennulse, the thoracic legs oi firsl and second pairs, and tin- uropods some \ ariation in minute particulars could be found, but no real difference indicating the possibility ol dividing the form into two species. ' >nly one feature may be noted, viz. that the 2 specimens from Stat. [5, [62 fath., 4 of the 5 specimens from Stat.
fath . and the majority of, bu1 not all, specimens from Stat. 32, 318 fath., have some or several saw- teeth on the dorsal edge ol first and second tree thoracic segments, while such teeth are absent in the 2 spec- imens from Stat 28, 420 lath., the 2 specimens from Stat. 12(1. 2.1 | fath., the 2 young males from Stat. 24, 1 100 fath., ami in specimens from all places with the depth less than 200 fath. The existence of such dorsal teeth on the anterior thoracic segment*- is consequently to lie regarded as variation in specimens from con- siderable depth.
It may he mentioned that second joint of the exopod in the uropods is always at least rather long, but frequently not .,- long in proportion to first joint as shown by Sars. Stappers states that he lias found 4 lanceolate appendages on the ischium of third pair of thoracic legs in the adult males, and that these append-
shotter than in the other lioreal 01 arc tir forms examined l>v him ; this observation agrees completely with males from ( tnundar Fjord examined by me, and it is mentioned here, because G.O.

The lower margin of the carapace in my adult female with about 10 teeth. The abdomen is moderately slender, about as long as cephalothorax without pseudorostrum.
The antennulse are very short (figs. 6 a — 6 b), in horizontal position their end is vertically below the apex of pseudorostrum; second joint of their peduncle is very thick and distinctly longer than third joint, which is rather robust and a little longer than the outer flagellum ; the inner fiagellum is short. Third maxilli- peds (fig. 6c) with a row of small teeth on somewhat less than the proximal half of lower side of second joint; fourth joint, the merus, seen from below with 3 strong, acute teeth at the terminal margin, and one large, acute tooth distally on the outer margin ; caqjus with two slender teeth on the outer margin and one tooth on the lower side at the end. First pair of legs cannot be fully described, because only a single leg was moder- ately preserved, while the other five legs in the 3 specimens had lost their distal half; in an immature male the second joint has a longitudinal row of 6 very strong, oblong teeth on the distal part of the lower side, while in the adult female (fig. 6d) only 3 real and rather feeble teetli are found; in the last-named specimen the distal half of the leg was uncommonly slender and its dactylus as long as the propodus, but somewhat shorter than the carpus. Second pair of legs with the dactylus as long as the carpus. - The uropods (fig. 6e) have the peduncle slightly shorter than the exopod, with about 4 spines along the inner margin; the exopod has 3 shorter setae on the proximal part of the outer margin of second joint, while the end and the distal part of the inner margin possess the usual long seta;; the endopod is much shorter than the exopod; its first joint, which is nearly half as long again as the second, has 5 or 6 spines at the inner margin and one long spine at its end; second joint with 4 spines on the inner margin and 2 terminal spines, the outer as long as, or somewhat shorter than, the joint.
Length of an ovigerous female 4.9 nun.
Remarks. Norman established his L. serratus on a single female specimen measuring 6 mm in length, thus somewhat larger than the single adult female examined by me. His description was published as early as in 1879, without figures, and though seemingly good has its defects. Thus the relative dimensions of the carapace stated by him had scarcely been measured with a micrometer and are therefore not accurate, as I do not think the depth of the carapace is "subequal" to its length in any species of Leucon. Furthermore his expression on the carapace: "antero-lateral corner produced forwards and outwards in wing-like form" is certainly somewhat unfortunate. In order to remove these and other difficulties as to the determination of my specimens I wrote to my able and always very helpful friend Dr. W. T. Caiman, asking him to examine Norman's type preserved in the British Museum (Natural History) as to certain points, and I enclosed calk- ings of my figures for comparison. He answered the questions and added sketches of the carapace, of first leg and of an uropod. He says that "the antero-lateral angle of the carapace is not conspicuously everted", and "there is no tooth on the side of the frontal lobe", an important character. His sketch of the carapace shows that the dorsal edge of the type is somewhat more convex towards the middle, so that the carapace is distinctly shorter in proportion to length than in my adult female, though without pseudorostrum decidedly more than one-fourth as long again as deep ; furthermore lie figures only 4 teeth on the lower margin of the carapace,

Second pair of legs with carpus somewhat elongated, distinctly longer than the two distal joints combined. -- Uropods (fig. 7 d) somewhat similar to those in L. serratus; the peduncle is a little shorter than the exopod, with about 6 spines along the inner margin; the exopod is somewhat slender, witli the normal setse along the inner margin and on the end, and a few short setae on the outer margin of second joint near its base; the endopod is considerably shorter than the exopod, its first joint nearly more than two and a half times as long as the second, with about 8 spines along the inner margin, and some of them long; second joint with 4 spines alon.^ the inner margin, and 2 long spines on the end, the outer somewhat longer than the inner and as long as the joint.

Remarks. L. robitstus agrees with L. nasicoidcs and differs from all other northern or European forms in having 3 pairs of teeth on the frontal lobe, but the arrangement of these teeth is sharply different in the two species. The uropods afford a good character in having the distal joint of the endopod rather short.

Eudorella Nor
man.
This genus is richly represented in our area, but excepting a single species the other forms are difficult. On the following pages I have recorded 6 species, viz. E. cmarginata Kr. and 5 species allied to E. truncatula Bate and E. hirsuta G. O. Sars, but apparently not belonging to any of these forms; 4 of the 5 species are established as new. Especially the forms with only 2 or 3 saw-teeth above the antennal notch in the female are very difficult, because, as already pointed out by Caiman, there is some individual variation in the arma- ture of the anterior margin of the carapace and in other particulars generally used as specific characters. Though my material is good, adult and subadult females ought to be collected at a much higher number of stations within the "Ingolf" area and farther south before the individual variation and the limitation of some of the species can be finally and satisfactorily decided. Meanwhile the following descriptions with fig- ures may serve as help for a future investigator. It may only be added that there is probably a somewhat high number of species of Eudorella, as the allied genus Leitcou really has numerous northern species, and in the latter genus they can as a rule be separated with certainty, while in Eudorella the characters are gener- allv more difficult to discover and point out, so that at the present time the personal judgment must in some cases be applied more than desirable by the limitation of species.

Sars established this species on a single immature female, 5V2 mm long, taken in a depth of only 30 — 35 fath. From a few stations I have several specimens, among them two females with marsupium, and in some essential points they show so much similarity to Sars' representation of E. hispida that they are referred to this species, though they differ in a few particulars of probably slight importance and — excepting one specimen — have been taken in rather considerable depths.
The carapace and all segments of the body have a number of thin hairs, but not nearly as man}- as drawn by Sars in his fig. 95. The anterior part of the lower margin of the carapace is nearly straight (figs. 8 a and 8 b), with small saw-teeth, but the angle between this line and the front margin is distinctly larger than shown by Sars (his fig. 96). The antero-inferior tooth is straight, nearly horizontal, long or very long. The front margin between this large tooth and the next tooth is rather long, scarcely or slightly concave and without vestige of any tooth. The antennal notch is in females deeper and more triangular than figured by Sars, with a small denticle on the lower and two denticles on the upper margin ; in the immature male this notch is scarcely developed, and the front margin between the upturned tooth at the upper end and the downwards curved tooth farther below is feebly concave without serration. The abdomen is long and robust as figured by Sars.
The antennulae (fig. 8 a) are somewhat robust, with many setae; terminal joint of the peduncle almost as long as the outer flagellum, in which first joint is proportionately very long, more than three times as long as the second. First pair of legs moderately slender; propodus considerably longer than carpus and slightly more than twice as long as the dactylus. Second pair of legs are robust ; carpus is very distinctly longer than merus and about as long as the two distal joints combined. — The uropods (fig. 8 c) are robust and very char- acteristic, agreeing with Sars' fig. qy; the peduncle is as long as the endopod, with a good number of spines at the inner margin; first joint of the endopod is very long, in adult specimens between five and six times as long as second joint, and it has numerous, in the specimen drawn 15, spines along the inner margin; second joint has 3 small spines on the inner margin and terminates in a very robust spine slightly shorter than the joint, and besides its end has a moderately long, thick seta; the exopod, which reaches slightly or somewhat beyond the end of first joint of the endopod, has numerous strong setae not only along the inner margin but about five on the dorsal surface, and some shorter seta? on the outer margin.
Length of the adult female 7.2 mm.

Female An ovigerous female and an immature specimen are to hand, and agree with one another in nearly all Features of any importance. The species is closely allied t" E. truncatula, bul an important dif- ference in the uropods render- .1 reference t" the latter form impossible.
The immature specimen has a number of outstanding hair- on the surface of cephalothorax and ■ .men. while they have nearly disappeared in the adult. < >n the carapace the antenna! notch is somewhat but rather -hallow; in the immature specimen (fig. 9a) one small large tooth are found above
and two small teeth below the notch, while in the adult that serration i- still inure rudimentary. The antero- lateral is long, robust and horizontal in the small specimen, but feebly developed in the adult.

Remarks. The striking difference in the length of the rami of the nropods between E. trnucatala and E. arctica makes it necessary to establish the latter species.
Occurrence. Not taken by the "Ingolf", but by the Unci Amdrup-Expedition at a single place. East Greenland: Cape Dalton, ab. Lat. 69°3o' N., 9 — 11 fath., July 20, 1900; 2 specimens.
20. Eudorella parvula n. sp. (PI. I, fig. 10a; PI. II, figs, ia— if.)
Female (and subadult Male). Closely allied to E. truncatula, but much smaller and showing a few minor differences. Carapace nearly as in E. truncatula; the antennal notch in the females (figs, ia — ic) somewhat short but rather deep and without teeth on the margins ; below the notch the margin has 2 teeth of which at least the lower tooth is somewhat large; the margin of the interruption below these is in the females scarcely ever concave or straight, but has an angular protuberance which varies much in size and most frequently is low. The lower margin of the carapace is. anteriorly curved much upwards, so that the tooth limiting the interruption is directed a little upwards and in reality situated on the front margin, while the next tooth is placed between the anterior and the lower margin, and these two teeth are uncommonly large. The front margin of the subadult male differs as usual materially from that in the female and is shown in fig. 1 f, but a description is scarcely needed.
In the antennulae (fig. 1 a) the outer flagellum is not inconsiderably longer than the terminal joint of the peduncle. First pair of legs (fig. 1 d) afford a character between this species and E. truncatula, as the propodus is at most one-fourth as long again as, and frequently only a little or slightly longer than, the carpus, and distinctly less than twice as long as the dactylus, while in E. truncatula it is more elongated, being one- third as long again as the carpus and at least twice as long as the dactylus. Second pair of legs (fig. 1 e) nearly as in E. truncatula, though less robust; merus and carpus similar in length. — Uropods (fig. 10 a) in the female with a lower number of spines than in E. truncatula ; the peduncle a little shorter than the endopod, with about
4 spines along the inner margin; first joint of the endopod not quite three times as long as the second, with
5 or 6 spines on the margin, while second joint has only a single spine or two spines on the inner margin, a long and very thick terminal spine and an exceedingly long terminal seta; the exopod has a couple of sets on the upper surface. In the subadult male the first joint of the endopod has 8 spines.
Length of the adult females 3.4 — 3.7 mm.
Remarks. Whether this species can be maintained as valid or may better be considered only as a variety of E. truncatula must be decided by a future investigator possessing a very large material from numerous localities. I am apt to consider it as a valid species, as I have a large material exclusively from rather deep stations in the Davis Strait, while not a single specimen of the much larger form E. truncatula has been found in any part of the "Ingolf" area. And the animals of E. parvula arc very uniform as to size and features.
According to Sars E. truncatula goes to the Lofoten Islands, and he did not find it at Finmark. As Norman records it from East Finmark, his specimens ought to be carefully re-examined ; besides I doubt

22. Eudorella sequiremis n. sp. (PI. II, figs. 3 a— 3 d.)
Female (adult and subadult). Body with a moderate number of fine liairs. Carapaee (fig. 3 a) an- teriorly almost as in E. intermedia ; the antennal notch normal, and just below it, between it and the somewhat short unarmed part one tooth or less frequently two teeth; the margin above the notch is serrated incon- spicuously more than half of its length, with a few of the upper teeth somewhat large, but the majority rather small and not always easily seen; the lower margin of the carapace is anteriorly curved a good deal upwards.
The antennulae normal (fig. 3 a). First pair of legs (fig. 3 b) with the propodus a little longer than, or only about as long as, the carpus and less than twice as long as the terminal joint. Second pair of legs (fig. 3 c) differ from those in E. intermedia in having the carpus conspicuously longer and much thinner than the merus, and carpus is as long as, or slightly shorter than, the two distal joints combined; terminal joint rather narrow. -- Uropods (fig. 3 d) as long as the two distal segments combined; peduncle about as long as the rami, with 4 spines on the inner margin; exopod with 2 or 3 seta; on the upper side and none on the outer margin; the endopod, which does not overreach the exopod, has its first joint two and a half times as long as the second, with 5 spines on the inner margin; second joint has on the inner margin 3 spines, on the end the thick, rather long spine and a very long seta.
Length of an adult female 4.5 mm.
Remarks. E. cequiremis is instantly distinguished from all other northern species excepting E. arctica in having the endopod of the uropods not longer than the exopod ; from E. arctica and the other forms excepting E. intermedia and E. hirsuta G. O. S. it is separated in having the major part of the front margin of the carapace above the notch serrated, but the serration extends less upwards than in E. hirsuta.
Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single deep station in the warm area.

Family Nannastacidae.
This family is richly represented in the "Ingolf" area, as no less than 4 of the 7 genera hitherto established have been found.
Cumella G. o. Sars.
The forms belonging to this genus differ much from each other in general aspect, as in some species the legs and uropods are rather short and stout, but long and very slender in other forms. Furthermore the sexual differences as to armature of the carapace, shape of some of the joints in the thoracic legs and some- times in the eyes are uncommonly pronounced. In the "Ingolf" area 2 new species have been discovered, and I follow Caiman in referring Campylaspis carinata H. J. H. to Cumella, so that 3 species are mentioned here.
25. Cumella tarda u. sp. (PI. II, figs. 4 a— 4 g.)
Adult Male. In general aspect similar to the male of C. pygmcea G. O. S.\ but it is somewhat larger and several appendages are longer and more slender. As in that species the dorsal line of the carapace is nearly straight and completely without teeth, but the antero-lateral corner is broadly rounded, without angle or teeth, and the most anterior part of the carapace is less deep than in C. pygmcea, as its lower margin is more ascending. Pseudorostrum (figs. 4 a — 4 b) is distinctly upturned, short, but yet longer than in C. pygmcea; its front margin is, seen from the side, somewhat oblique, with about four teeth on its lower half. The eye is not quite as large as in C. pygmcea and differs materially in having 4 pairs of ocelli, while C. pyg- mcea has 3 pairs and besides in the median a single very large ocellus not found in C. tarda ; the dark pigment between the ocelli is more or less developed. The free thoracic segments and the abdomen nearly as in C. pygmcea.
The antennulse (fig. 4 c) have the peduncle slender, considerably longer and much more slender than in C. pygnuea ; its third joint is a little shorter than the second and distinctly longer than the upper flagellum. (The flagellum of the antennae lost). Second maxillipeds (fig. 4 d) mainly as in C . pygmcea, though more slender. Third maxillipeds (fig. 4 e) with third to sixth joint much thinner than in C. pygmcea; as in that species the merus has a tooth on the outer side. First pair of legs (fig. 4 f) differ much from those in C. pygmcea as fig-
1 I refer to Sars' representation of this species in [879, as he there gives a much higher number of figures of the male than in his "Account", 1900.

carapace, rather slender, and all segments excepting the sixth adorned with a median dorsal row of long, curved teeth (figs. 5 a and 5 c), a median ventral row of short teeth, and on each side far below the middle a longitudinal row of curved teeth shorter than those on the dorsal edge; sixth segment with a few teeth.
The antennuke (fig. 5 a) slender; first joint of the peduncle much longer than second, which is some- what longer than the third; outer flagellum about as long as second peduncular joint, while the inner flagel- lum is minute. The antennae without seta? on the distal joints of the peduncle ; the distal part of flagellum lost. Third maxillipeds with a strong tooth on the merus. The thoracic legs slender and somewhat long (fig. 5 a) ; in first pair the propodus is slightly shorter than the caq^us and twice as long as the dactylus ; in second pair the carpus is as long as the dactylus; in fourth pair the second joint has several fine teeth on its outer margin. -- The uropods are very long and slender; the peduncle, which is as long as the two posterior seg- ments together and about twice as long as the endopod, is adorned with three rows of teeth (fig. 5 d), viz. two with short teeth on the outer side and a row with longer teeth on the upper side rather near the inner margin; the endopod has on the inner margin 3 short, setiform spines on the proximal half and on the distal half 3 real spines, and between the two distal spines some three saw-teeth, while the end has a long, thick spine; the exopod is a little shorter than the endopod, with a single spine on the inner margin and an apical spine.
Length 4 mm.
Remarks. This species is easily recognized by the beautiful rows of teeth on the abdominal seg- ments and the uropods. Besides the type I have the cephalothorax of a much smaller male which I refer to this species, though it differs in having seemingly only 3 or perhaps 4 dorsal processes on the carapace, while the teeth on the free thoracic segments are with few exceptions either lost or scarcely discernible; antennula?, maxillipeds and thoracic legs similar to those in the type.
Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a deep station in the warm area.

When I established the present species I had only a single specimen not belonging to our Museum, and therefore could not well dissect the mouth-parts, etc., of its left half. In 1905 Caiman published notes on the mouth-parts and thoracic legs as results of an examination of a single specimen, and he was liable to refer it with some doubt to his new genus Cumellopsis. But in 1912 he returns to the subject, as he has obtained more material, and he is now of the opinion that the curious animal is more related to Cumella, in reality does not differ from that genus in any character justifying the establishment of a new genus. And according to his observations we may also safely omit the query still used by him.

A line material of adult females is to hand. The carapace has on the whole more depressions and
an mentioned or figured by Caiman, bul as this adornment shows a little individual variation and
the integument is rather thin and flexible, easily damaged, the value ol smaller depressions and shorter keek
is probably of rather little systematic importance. Some points may yet be mentioned. The long lateral de-
enerally rather deep but somewhat before the posterior end ol the carapace it either nearly
: is interrupted by a short, transverse ridge, which cuts n\i its long anterior deep part from the much
shorter posterior, more shallow portion. The ridge limiting that long depression below is sometimes rounded,
nuns sharp Seen from above, the "slight median keel posteriorly is distinct, but an area midway
between the pseudorostrum and the first free segment has three longitudinal rounded ridges posteriorly
nd the lateral pair, which are more distinct than the feeble median ridge, radiate forwards
and somewhat outwards; the depressions between these rounded ridges are more or less pronounced, and
between each of the outer ridges, which ceases somewhat behind the base- of pseudorostrum,
tudinal ridge limiting above the long above-mentioned lateral depression is somew hat excavated,
forming an ol ion. In the immature males the dorsal ridges and depressions arc less

PrOCampylaspiS Bonnier.
This interesting genus is easily separated from all other genera by the curious shape and armature of the terminal joint of second pair of maxillipeds. It may be remarked that first pair of legs are long, consider- ably longer than second pair, while in Campylaspis first pair are at most slightly longer and generally shorter than second pair. Only 4 species are recorded by Stebbing (1913), 2 among them from the southern hemi- sphere. In the "Ingolf" area 2 new species have been discovered, and it may be possible that a third species, P. artnata Bonnier, also can be found1.
29. Procampylaspis bituberculata 11 sp.
(PI. II, figs. 7 a— 7 m.)
Subadult Female. Carapace, seen from above (fig. 7 b), almost half as long again as broad, somewhat oblong-ovate and rather narrowed forwards; considerably behind the middle a pair of propor- tionately large, broad and somewhat low, conical protuberances, each with a small spine on the top. Seen from the left side (fig. 7 a), the dorsal line shows the shape of left protuberance; pseudorostrum is turned sharply and considerably upwards, and its anterior margin is straight, yet directed from above a little back- wards, without any notch, and the corner between this line and the lower margin is a very obtuse angle. The ocular lobe is narrow with the sides parallel, not half as long as pseudorostrum and without eyes. The free thoracic segments in the main as in P.armata; first segment dorsally at the middle produced as a small, bifid lamina with its two teeth curved distinctly forwards, second segment with similar, but nearly vertical teeth ; fourth and fifth segments each with a pair of teeth somewhat from the median line. First abdominal segment with a pair of dorsal granules; otherwise granulation on the abdominal segments is indistinct or wanting.

Adult Male. Carapace from above (fig. 7 1) very oblong-ovate, about three-fourths as long again onsiderably behind the middle a pair of small spine- somewhat removed from one another, but the protuberances bearing in the female these spines have almost disappeared in the male. Seen from the side rapace 1- a good deal lower than in the female pseudorostrum is turned considerably upwards, but it- front margin is angular at the middle, as its upper half is subvertical, its lower half directed not only downwards bu1 besides a little forwards The ocular lobe is linear, much longer than in the female, though rter than in the male P. armata. < >n the right side of the carapace the specimen to hand has three out- ■ ding teeth 011 the posterior part of the lower margin. First and second free segment each with the dorsal median bifid lamella as in the female; the three posterior segments each with some dorsal small teeth and granules, and besides the lateral margins of all segments are irregularly adorned with a few teeth or sometimes only a single tooth. The granulation on the dorsal side of the abdominal segments very fine. -- The uropods Qger than in the female: the peduncle which is only a little longer than the two posterior ab- dominal segmenl I er and considerably less than twice as long as the endopod, has on the inner edge a good number of thin se1 :t and rather close together on the proximal half, and then gradually more gstrongly in length ; the endopod has 8 spines on the innei margin and a long apical spine.

30. Procampylaspis macronyx n. sp.
(PI. II, figs. 8 a— 8 g.)
Adult Male. Carapace from above nearly as on P. bituberculata, excepting that no vestige of any dorsal spine or protuberances is found. Seen from the side, the carapace is not so low as in the preceding species, as the dorsal line is somewhat convex. Pseudorostrum is, seen from the side (fig. 8 a), peculiarly shaped, as its upper margin is considerably convex, the anterior margin concave and somewhat oblique, because the upper part of pseudorostrum is produced considerably forwards. Seen from above no ocular lobe could be observed between the lamellae of pseudorostrum, and this lobe seems to be wanting. The two anterior free segments each with two submedian teeth, but these are smaller and scarcely originating from a lamella as in P. bituberculata ; the segments otherwise nearly as in that species, but the number of teeth and granules is somewhat higher. The abdominal segments with some or a few teeth on the sides and very finely granulated above; first segment or besides the second with very few dorsal teeth.
Second pair of maxillipeds (figs. 8 b and 8 c) with the terminal joint most peculiarly developed. This joint has the same number of teeth and processes as in P. armata and P. bituberculata, but they differ exceedingly as to shape and size ; the proximal tooth is triangular, of moderate size and much smaller than in the forms named ; second tooth is rudimentary ; the proximal process is more slender than in the two other species (in the mutilated "Ingolf" specimen this process is longer than in the type); second process is thin and close to the terminal process, which is somewhat curved and exceedingly elongated, nearly three times as long as the distance from its base to the origin of the joint. Third pair of maxillipeds (fig. 8 d) nearly as in P. bituberculata ; there is no tooth on the outer side of the carpus, but the tubular process (t) on the merus is present. First pair of legs (fig. 8 e) in the main as in the preceding form, but the carpus is distinctly shorter than the merus. Second pair of legs (fig. 8 f) with the merus thick and not half as long as the somewhat slender carpus, which is only a little shorter than the dactylus and without any process at the end of the inner margin. — Uropods (fig. 8 g) considerably longer than in the male P. bituberculata ; the peduncle is very long, almost as long as the three posterior abdominal segments together and more than two and a half times as long as the endopod, on the inner margin with about 15 pubescent setae increasing much in length towards the end; the endopod which is a good deal longer than the exopod, has 5 or 6 spines on the inner margin and a very long apical spine.
Length of the type 6 mm., of the "Ingolf" specimen 7.5 mm.
Remarks. The male P. macronyx is easily separated from all other species hitherto known by the extremely elongated terminal process on the dactylus of second maxillipeds, and as the armature of the dactylus in other forms does not show sexual difference, the elongated process is in all probability also found

• his large genus about 24 species have been described in the literature, and representatives are known from nearly every sea. In the "Ingolf" ana ro species have been captured, but 5 among them are new. which indirectly indicate- that even the European fauna of this genus is still somewhat imperfectly known1. Among the cephalothoric appendages especially second and third pairs of maxillipcds and first and ad pair- ni legs H. generally recognized as affording specific characters. According to my experience third maxillipeds differ more from species to species than any of the three other pairs, and ought therefore always to be carefully figured, especially merus. carpus and propodus show excellent characters. It may be mentioned here that the merus shows a gradual development from a normal shape, f. inst. in C . intermedia PI. III. figs. 6e — 6 f) to thai found in C. verrucosa (fig. s a), from this again to the allied deep-sea form C. gloh, ■ 1 .m the Davis Strait, where the shape of the merus is rather curious, while in the close-
ly allied antarctic species I frigida H. J H (in Res. Voy. Belgica, iqoN) the merus has been developed in the ■ traordinary way in the same direction, so that its shape in C. globosa is intermediate between those
sa and in C. frigida; all these 3 (or 4) species arc allied and somewhat similar in aspect, and we have here an interesting connection between a boreal form, a deep-sea form from a sea with its coasts sub- ic or arctic and a real antarctic species — but no bipolarity of a species
Finally it may be mentioned that the colour of the species in some forms does not agree well with Sars' statements; variation or difference is mentioned later on at C. rubicunda, C. undata and C. horrida.

In 1887 (1. c.) I stated that the eye or the ocelli in this species had not been mentioned in the litera- ture, and that I found two ocelli. In his Account Sars says: "Eye distinct, semicircular and somewhat prom- inent", which is misleading. It is not the eye but the ocular lobe which is "semicircular and somewhat prom- inent" ; on each side of this lobe I have constantly found an ocellus, but it was impossible to find any dorsal ocellus between the lateral pair, while on the end of the lobe one finds with difficulty two oblong, semi- vertical ocelli lying close together in the median line. Therefore Sars' figures O and O x on PI. LXI present a curious difficulty, as his fig.O, the lobe seen from the left side, has two ocelli respectively on the side and at the end, consequently only two pairs, but his fig. O x, exhibiting the lobe from above, has an apical pair, a lateral pair and a single, large, dorsal ocellus at the base. In my specimens from various localities such a median dorsal ocellus does not exist.
Sars points out that the dactylus of second pair of maxillipeds has "four strong spines increasing in length from before backwards". This is a very fine character which I can verify, as I found the four spines increasing backwards in length both in a specimen from Norway and in one of the anomalously coloured females from Lat. 63^6 ' N. (fig. 1 a). So high a number of spines has not been found by Sars in any other species from Norway, nor by me in any species from the "Ingolf" area excepting C. serratipes n. sp., but in this species the second spine is much shorter than the third or the proximal spine.
The "Ingolf" specimen and the male from Lat. 63°i5' N. have the red colour of the body well pre- served and no dark dots. But the 6 speximens of both sexes from Lat. 63°46' N. are at least now only light reddish, and they have a large number of dark-brown, mostly very oblong dots spread partly irregularly on the body ; these dots are sometimes so numerous on certain parts of the carapace that they are nearly confluent. It may be added that I found the joints in third maxillipeds and in first and second legs of one of these dotted females agreeing well as to shape and marginal teeth with Sars' figures.
Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at a single station.

Uropods (fig. 2 i) slender and very long ; the peduncle is fully as long as the three posterior abdominal segments combined, almost two and a half times as long as the endopod, with about 4 thin spines on the distal part of the inner margin; the endopod with 10 spines on the inner margin, a very long terminal spine, and all spines pectinate on both margins; the exopod is very little shorter than the endopod.
Length of females with marsupium 4.3 — 4.7 mm.
Male. The carapace differs in the usual way from that of the female; its anterior part seen from above is shown in fig. 2 k; the antennal notch is distinct, but its margin only very moderately concave; the shining, polished surface is characteristic. Uropods (fig. 2 1) still longer than in the female; the peduncle varies from being a little more to a little less as long as half of the third abdominal segment and the three posterior segments combined, not fully two and a half times as long as the endopod, with about 12 setiform spines along the inner margin; the endopod nearly as in the female, with about 12 thin spines on the inner margin, not counting the very long terminal spine; the exopod somewhat shorter than the endopod.
Length 5.1 mm.
Remarks. Many years ago I had determined this species as C. nitens Bonnier, established on an immature male scarcely 5 mm. long, but a closer examination revealed such differences in three of the append- ages that my form must be considered a different species. Bonnier says that the inner margin of third to sixth joint of third maxillipeds is "regulierementdenticule", and this statement agrees with his fig. 4 m (PI. 28), but in my animals the large fourth joint has no vestige of such serration, third joint only the terminal tooth, and furthermore instead of the big tooth on the distal outer angle of the merus his figure seems to exhibit three small teeth on the outer margin. Though in other species of Campylaspis I have found some individual variation as to serration on the limbs, the differences in this respect between Bonnier's description and my animals are far too great to be considered as due to variation. His figure of second pair of legs has the carpus considerably shorter and thicker than in ray animals, and he describes and figures the dactylus as "elargi", while in my specimens it is slender. Finally his description and figure of the uropods differ very much from my animals; according to Bonnier the inner margin of the peduncle is finely serrated, but such serration is not found either in the male or the female; furthermore he figures 5 or 6 spines on the inner margin of the endopod. while my specimens have a much higher number. Besides some further differences between C. ni- tens Bonn, and C. alba can be found by a comparison of the figures. While C. nitens Bonn, must be another species than mv animals, I am convinced that the immature females taken west of Ireland and referred by Caiman with a query to Bonnier's form in reality belong to C. alba, as his notes, pointing out differences between his specimens and C. nitens, show agreement with my form. — C. pulehclla G. O. Sars is also similar in general aspect to C. alba, but differs sharply in the spinulation of the uropods, while second and third pairs of maxillipeds in C. pulchella are unknown.

Remarks. C. laticarpa is separated especially by having the carpus of third maxillipeds longer and very much broader than in any other northern species of Campylaspis; the size and shape of merus and carpus can easily be seen without dissection, and the absence of marginal teeth in this pair of appendages is, besides, a good specific character. On the colour little can be said ; the animals are now whitish, often with numerous extremely small, dark-brown dots ; in some specimens larger and partlv confluent brownish red dots are found on the peduncles of the uropods.

A comparison between my female specimens and Sars' representation gave the following results. The carapace agrees with his figure excepting that the pseudorostrum seen from the side looks a little more produced and has its front margin distinctly as a whole more oblique ; between the upper longitudinal ridge and the lower one there is anteriorly nearly below the large sublateral protuberance a more or less conspicuous, very rounded, subvertical ridge not figured by Sars in the female C. undata, but in the male, and besides in C. liorrida and C. verrucosa; furthermore there is sometimes a feeble and short piece of longitudinal keel rather far behind between the two very long lateral keels. In second pair of maxillipeds the distal inner corner of the carpus is somewhat produced in a triangular tooth; the propodus has near the end of the inner margin a very conspicuous, oblong tooth, thus the two teeth mentioned are considerably more developed than in Sars' fig. nip2, but there is complete agreement between his figure and the maxilliped examined by me in the spines on the dactylus and the terminal spine on the propodus. Third pair of maxillipeds (fig. 4 a) differ in some particulars from Sars' fig. mp3; the ischium has 2 teeth (not a single tooth) on the inner end; merus differs considerably in shape, as in my specimens the inner margin is distinctly concave, the outer margin feeblv angular near the middle and sooner convex than concave, while in Sars' figure both margins are curved in the way opposite, but I think that this figure is incorrect; as to marginal serration the differ- ences between Sars' figure and the features observed by me are of no importance (in maxillipeds of three specimens I found also a little variation as to marginal teeth). First pair of legs differ only from Sars in having

Female (with the marsupium scarcely half-developed). In general aspect nearly intermediate between C. costata G. O. S. and C. verrucosa G. O. S. Carapace seen from above (fig. 6 a) rather oblong, as the pro- portion between breadth and length is about as 3 to 5 ; a good deal of the lateral margins feebly divergent from in front backwards, but anteriorly these margins rather suddenly converge strongly to near the end of pseudorostrum, which is broadly rounded. The ocular lobe about as long as the pseudorostrum in front of the lobe. Seen from the side (fig. 6 b) the carapace is of moderate depth, scarcely half as deep as long including pseudorostrum, which is somewhat produced and a little upturned; the anteroinferior margin is rather oblique, the antennal notch well developed, and the angle below it a little protruding. The sides of the cara- pace show as in C. costata two longitudinal, long ridges separated by a deep depression, which considerably behind the front end is partly interrupted by a low, broad protuberance; besides between the posterior third of these ridges a third ridge, which has its anterior end united with the long lower ridge, but this species differs from C. costata in having several rounded, moderately low tubercles on the upper and about three tubercles on the intermediate ridge. Seen from above, the carapace (fig. 6 a) has in more than its posterior half a longitudinal, a little curved row of about five tubercles on each half not far from the median line, and just behind the outer end of the suture separating the pseudorostrum a large tubercle is very conspicuous; besides some small tubercles are observed on the anterior half. The tubercles, excepting the anterior sublateral pair, are on the whole low and rounded. The two anterior free segments are overlapped by the carapace; they have dorsally no really lamellar expansion. — Abdomen moderately robust, as usual conspicuously shorter than the carapace; the three anterior segments each with a pair of obtuse tubercles.
Second pair of maxillipeds (figs. 6 c — 6 d) somewhat slender ; carpus with a triangular tooth on the distal inner angle; dactylus with 3 spines, the first strong and rather long but shorter than the third, while the second is very small; propodus with the inner angle somewhat produced, acute, while its terminal spine .scarcely overreaches the third spine of the dactylus. Third pair of maxillipeds (fig. 6 e) with the distal half slender ; second joint serrated on the distal part of its inner margin; ischium with two teeth at the inner end; merus (fig. 6 f) conspicuously less than half as broad as long, its inner margin distinctly concave with several fine teeth, the outer margin a little convex with a large tooth towards the end and a couple of much more proximal, minute teeth ; carpus with some teeth on the outer margin. First pair of legs (fig. 6 g) with the distal halt slender; second joint serrated on the distal part of the inner margin; the following joints without teeth, and merus a little longer but slightly thicker than carpus. Second pair of legs (fig. 6 h) without marginal teeth ; carpus of middle length and slightly shorter than dactylus. -- Tropods (fig. 6 i) somewhat slender; the pe- duncle as long as the two posterior abdominal segments together, slightly more than twice as long as the endopod, with low saw-teeth on the inner margin; the endopod with 5 spines on the inner margin, a very long spine and a quite short one on the end; exopod about as long as, or slightly shorter than, the endopod.
Length 5.5 mm. (An immature male from Stat. 116 is 5.8 mm.)

In most of my females the ridges and tubercles of the carapace are adorned with small dark dots, and some similar dots are also frequently found on the abdomen, the uropods, etc.
Occurrence. Not taken by the "Ingolf" but by the "Thor" at four localities.

Lat. 6i°07' N., Long. Q°3o' W., 443 fath.; 5 females.
Distribution. At several places at the west coast of Norway from Hardanger Fjord to Lofoten, 100 — 300 fath. (G. O. Sars). The "Thor" captured it south-west of Norway at Lat. 58°32' N., Long. 4°i8' E., 149 fath. Caiman referred with some uncertainty a broken specimen from Lat. 39°59x/2' N., Long. 70°303/4' W., 428 fath., to this species; he refers also with some doubt a specimen from Sagami Bay, Japan, to C.homda, but his remarks on its size and especially the more slender distal joints in some appendages make it rather certain that it must be a different species, which he also suggests as a possibility. Lo Bianco's statement on its occurrence in the Mediterranean may possibly be correct, but it is not very probable.

Only a few remarks on some appendages shall be made for comparison with Sars' figures. I found in second pair of maxillipeds a well developed, triangular tooth on the distal inner angle of the carpus, a somewhat slender tooth on the distal inner angle of the propodus, only a slight difference in the length of first and third spine of the dactylus, both these spines longer than figured by Sars, and between them the second, very small, but distinct spine. In third maxillipeds I found more important difference in the size and shape of the merus; fig. 8 a shows this joint larger than figured by Sars in proportion to carpus, only a little narrower than the distal part of second joint, and somewhat expanded inwards, as its inner margin has the proximal two-thirds somewhat convex, and then it is suddenly angularly bent; some differences in the teeth on the merus and the two following joints may be observed by comparison between fig. 8 a and Sars' fig. nip3. In first pair of legs I found on the outer margin of the merus some small teeth and a long sub- terminal tooth ; otherwise his figures of this leg and of second leg agree with my preparation. The expansion of the merus of third maxillipeds is a good character and besides of special interest (see "Remarks" at the next species).
Occurrence. Not taken by the "Ingolf" but by the "Thor" at four localities.

Remarks. This species is intermediate between C. verrucosa G. O. S. and C. jrigida H. J. H., though nearer to the latter form, which was collected by the "Belgica" at Lat. 70°48' S., Long. qi°54' W. The curious expansion of the merus is still more developed in C.frigida, in which that joint is as broad as long; as to the shape of merus C. globosa is intermediate between C. verrucosa and C. jrigida, and the relationship between these three species from most different localities has been mentioned above on p. 36.

Subadult Female (and immature Male). Carapace seen from above (fig. 2 a) nearly regularly oblong-oval, excepting at the front end which is cut off transversely, and it is considerably less than twice as long as broad; seen from the side (fig. 2 b) the carapace is highly vaulted, very deep, with the pseudorostrum included considerably less than twice as long as deep, about as deep as broad. Pseudorostrum short and a little upturned; the antennal notch moderately or somewhat feebly developed, and the upper part of the oblique margin below the notch with some saw-teeth. The ocular lobe broader than long, nearly half as long as pseudorostrum. The dorsal side of the carapace with a pair of longitudinal rows of tubercles; the rows are posteriorly nearer the median line than anteriorly, and each row consists of 5 or 4 rather small, more or less conical or rounded tubercles ; behind the pseudorostrum a broad but proportionately somewhat low tubercle is placed more laterally; finally the upper part of each side has one just discernible small tubercle and some- times a vestige of a second or even a third tubercle. The dorsal part of the two anterior free segments frequent- ly completelv concealed by the carapace, when visible it is observed, that each segment has a high transverse keel, which is not really lamellar. Abdomen as usual conspicuously shorter than the carapace; the segments without dorsal tubercles.
Second pair of maxillipeds (figs. 2c and 2 d) peculiarly armed; carpus with an extremely long, spini- form process on the distal inner angle and before it an acute tooth; propodus with an uncommonly long, spiniform process on the inner margin before the end, and the outer terminal spine is rather long; dactylus with 4 spines, the first long, about as long as the third and considerably longer than the second, while the fourth is only about half as long as and much thinner than the third. Third pair of maxillipeds (fig. 2 e) with second joint uncommonly short, much shorter than the five following joints combined; ischium with two teeth on the inner margin; merus normally shaped, somewhat less than twice as long as broad, with two strong teeth on the inner margin and some three teeth on the outer ; carpus oblong and scarcely longer than the breadth of merus, with three strong teeth on the inner and four on the outer margin ; propodus rather long, with three very strong teeth on the proximal part of the inner margin and a smaller tooth on the outer mar-

Family Pseudocumatidae.
This small family comprises only two marine genera with some few species, but it has arrived at much richer development in the Caspian Sea. Only one of the marine genera has been found in the Ingolf area. but as the other genus. Pseudocuma G. O. S., goes northwards to Lofoten, Fair Isle and Scotland, it may possibly occur at the Faeroes.

Sars says that the inner edge of the endopod of the uropods is "minutely serrate and densely hairy throughout", which agrees well with his fig. urs., but is not quite correct. The hairs constitute a dense clothing on the inner side of the endopod, and the saw-teeth are arranged in a straight line a little above the clothing, and directed not only inwards and backwards but besides a little upwards; when the abdomen is seen vertical- ly from above the saw-teeth originate slightly inside the margin and are seemingly minute, but when the en- dopod is turned a little so that one sees it from above and a little from the outer side, the saw-teeth, only about 12 in number, are perceived to be rather strong, and the distal teeth even produced in a slender triangle. - Sars has no figure or description of the male uropod, but Stappers has filled up that small gap ; the endopod has on the distal part of the inner margin 9 somewhat small, ciliated spines but no hairs, while the hairs are well developed on the major proximal part of the inner margin; Stappers' fig. 12 agrees completely with the uropods of a male taken by the "Thor", excepting that I find the hairs on the inner margin much longer than drawn by Stappers, longer than the diameter of the joint.
Occurrence. Taken by the "Ingolf" at two stations.

Furthermore it has been gathered at North-East Iceland in Myre Bugt, Lat. 66°n' N., Long. I3°04"W., 33 fath., 2 specimens, by "Beskytteren" ; the "Thor" secured it at two localities, viz. East Iceland: Hjerads Floi, 15 — 25 fath., 3 specimens; and south-west of Iceland: Lat. 63°46' N., Long. 22°56' W., 79 fath., 10 specimens.
Distribution. At Norway gathered off Lofoten, 50 — 60 fath., and at Finmark near Hasvig and Yadso 20 — 40 fath. (G. O. Sars). Furthermore taken at the southern end of Spitzbergen, Lat. 76ui9' N., Long. i8°i' E., 142 fath. (G. O. Sars), at Cape Flora, Franz Joseph Land, 10 fath. (Th.

As Caiman points out differences between the telson in most of his specimens and Sars' account, it may be stated, that I have examined the telson in many females and found it to agree with Sars' figure both in shape and in length and number of spines, excepting that sometimes four pairs of lateral spines were found. Caiman suspects that H. Normani Bonnier will prove to be a synonym to H. cristata; it may be pos- sible, but seems to me rather improbable. — It may be mentioned that the Hpicarid^C it mocclius insignis H. J.

At the west coast of Norway in several places from Hardanger Fjord to Fofoten "in depths of more than 100 fathoms" (G. O. Sars), yet in 1886 Sars stated to have gathered it at Huso in 80 — 100 fath. The "Thor" secured it north-east of Shetland, Fat. 6i°i4' N., Fong. i°i9' E., 85 fath.; Norman recorded it from south of Roekall, Fat. 56°07' N., Fong. I4°i9' W., 630 fath., and Caiman from five stations west of Ireland, 199 — 382 fath. But when Sars (1900) writes: "British Isles (Robertson)", it can only be founded on a single locality , according to Norman it was in i860 published by Robertson that this species had been taken in the Firth of Clyde.

Family Diastylidae.
This large family, which is distributed all over the world, is especially represented in the arctic- subarctic and boreal regions by a large number of species; from the "Ingolf" area 19 species are dealt with in the present paper. But some questions as to the limitation of its genera are difficult ; certain features fre- quently used are of slight value as generic characters. For instance, rudimentary exopods in third and fourth pairs of legs in the female are found in Leptostylis and wanting in Diastyloid.es, while in Diastvlis they are wanting in most species, but according to Caiman (1912) distinct in some forms. Whether third and fourth free thoracic segments are fused or separated is another feature used as generic character, but it has scarcely been observed that every transition between complete fusion of these segments without vestige of dorsal suture and movable articulation of these segments against one another can be pointed out ; a few facts may be mentioned. Sars saj's that in Diastvlopsis resima Kr. (referred here to Brachydiastylis Stebb.) these two segments "are very firmly connected", but "a well-marked suture may in reality be proved to exist between them"; in Makrocylindrus spiniventris n. sp., the suture is distinct on the sides but its transverse part on the dorsal surface is wanting. In the female of the gigantic DiastylisGoodsiri Bell these segments are seemingly both dorsally and on the sides well separated, but a closer inspection shows that the furrow between them is firmlv chitinized, so that they are immovably coalesced. In Diastvlis polaris G. O. S. and Diastvlis longi- caudata Bonnier there is a narrow but real, movable articulation between the two segments, especially on the dorsal side; D. scorpioides Lep. is intermediate between D. Goodsiri and /). polaris; in Diastyloides serrata G. O. S. and Leptostylis grandis n. sp. the articulation is well developed.
Taking these and other difficulties into consideration, I decided as to the genera to follow a middle way between Stebbing and Zimmer. The genus Adiastylis Stebb. is not adopted, but Brachydiastylis Stebb. is maintained, especially because a new species allied to R. resima Kr. shows some of the peculiarities found in that Kroyerian species developed to a still higher degree, so that these two species constitute a natural group. Finally it may be stated here that for reasons to be given later on a new species is referred to Makro- cylindrus Stebb., though it differs from the diagnosis of this genus in a special feature of the telson. — Five genera are represented in the material.

Ohlin recorded it from Lat. 70°43' N., Long. 22°2a/ W., Scoresby Sound, 37 fath.; I,at. ~jz°2&' N., Long 2i°48' W., 95 fath., and Lat. 74°52' N., Long. iy°i6' W., 186 fath. Finally taken by the Due d'Orleans near Lat. 75°58' N., Long. I4°o8' W., 159 fath.
Distribution. Found in some parts of Kattegat, common in both Belts and also going through the Sound to the Baltic, where it has been taken in the Bay of Kiel, off Bornholm and eastwards to Gotland (various authors) ; it occurs generally in the deeper tracts of the named areas, is rare in 7 — S fath., though yet found in 31 2 fath. In Skager Rak it was secured several times in 35 to no fath., but also taken in ab. 220 and 350 fath. (H. J. Hansen). It occurs along the whole coast of Norway, generally in 10 to 30 fath: (G. O. Sars), was taken between Greenland and Spitzbergen at Lat. 8i°oo' N., Long. i°oo' E., 540 fath. (G. O. Sars), and a few times at western and northern Spitzbergen, northwards to Lat. 8i°2o' N., in depths from 80 to 531 fath. (Sars, Ohlin, Zimmer). Furthermore it was recorded from Franz Joseph Land (Heller, Th. Scott), from places in the Barents Sea, 60 and 120 fath. (Hoek, Stuxberg), from places at the west and south coasts of Novaya Zemrya, Matotschkin Schar and Jugor Schar in depths from 4 — 10 fath. and down to 30 — 70 fath. (Stuxberg, Stappers) ; from several places in the Kara Sea in depths from 3 to 60 fath. (Stux- berg, H. J. Hansen), besides in the Sibirian Ocean at Long. 78°4o' E., 26 fath., at Long. 8o°58' E., 5 fath., and at several places between Cape Tchelyuskine and Long. i73°24' W., near Bering Strait, 3 to 12 fath. (Stuxberg).
G. O. Sars recorded this species from two stations in the cold deep sea area west of Norway, viz. Lat. 69°46' N., Long. i6°i5' E., 649 fath., temp, -h 0.70, and Lat. 62°44' N., Long. i°4«S' E., 412 fath., temp. ■f- 1 ,o°. It is common in theNorth Sea southwards to the Belgian coast ; has been found at places on the eastern and western coast of Scotland and England and at the south coast of Devon and Cornwall (various authors), but is unknown from the west side of Ireland (Caiman). It has been taken at Port Kennedy (Bate, as D. borcalis), at five places at the east coast of Baffin Land between Lat. 73^43' N. and Lat. 7i°42' N. in 5 — 10 and down to 10 — 28 fath., and at Lat. 66°33' N., 6 fath. (Ohlin) ; in places at Labrador in depths from 7 to 50 fath.; at some stations off Halifax and the east coast of America southwards to Lat. 4i°ii1/2'N., 20 to 499 fath. (S. I. Smith; Caiman); finally at Point Franklin on the east side of Bering Strait (Murdoch), and at a number of places at Alaska and the Aleutian Islands southwards to Sitka, in depths from 5 — 7 and down to 15 — 20 fath. (Caiman).
The distribution of this species is very interesting. It is really circumpolar and goes southwards to the southern coast of Cornwall; it is generally found in depths from 10 to 50 fath., but has been taken in 3 fath., and several times in depths from 300 to 649 fath. Furthermore it seems rather independent both of salinity and temperature, because it goes far eastward in the Baltic and has been captured not only in 300 to 582 fath. at stations belonging to the warm area, but also by Sars and the "Ingolf" in 412, 471 and 649 fath. at stations belonging to the cold deep-sea area1.

Rathkii had been recorded by Norman from the entrance of Davis Strait, 1750 fath., but I said that D. Rathkii had been taken at West Greenland in every depth down to 410 fath., the greatest depth where dredging had been undertaken, excepting that by Norman in 1750 fath. Consequently I did not include 1750 fath. as a locality for this species.

More than a year before* )hlin cancelled D. stygia as a synonym to D. polaris I had arrived at the same result while determining the "Ingolf" material, viz. the specimens from Stat. 25 in the warm area and from the stations in the cold area. I found that two or three oblique ruga? were always more or less developed on the carapace, which is a character for D. polaris, while in females without marsupium and in immature males (adult males are unknown) each of the three anterior free thoracic segments has in the median ventral line a more or less developed denticle, and many, but not all, specimens have an erect, fine, spiniform denticle above on the last thoracic segment, but both these features are according to Sars (in 1N72) characters for 1>. stygia. From Stat. 36 (1435 fath., in the warm area) three young specimens with the last pair of legs still wanting were put aside for future study; these specimens are proportionately large, the largest measurint; 8 mm. in length, while specimens without last pair of legs from the cold area or from 582 fath. in the warm area are only about 5.8 111111 long. When in rgig the present paper was worked out. the material was again examined; I found that the young specimens from Stat. 36 have no vestige of oblique ruga- on the carapace and agree on the whole well with Sars' first description of D. stygia, excepting in possessing not a single spine but two spines in the median dorsal line of last thoracic segment, the first spine larger than the second, and Sars describes two such spines in his "Challenger" specimens. According to Sars first pair of legs are shorter in D. stygia than in 1>. polaris, and in the three specimens without rugre the carpus of these legs is rather far from reaching the end of pseudorostrum — but in young specimens from the cold area with rugae but still without last pair of legs, first legs show the same feature, because they are proportionately shorter in such young than in subadult or adult specimens. — The result is that I must consider absence of ruga- in the young specimens from Stat. 36 as mere variation, that I), polaris and I), stygia are the same species, which shows some variation, partly individual, partly according to localities. If D. stygia shall be kept as a separate form, the only character hitherto observed seems to be the absence of ruga? on the carapace — ami of the "Ingolf" material only the specimens from Stat. 36 have no ruga;.
It may be mentioned that the Epicarid Cumoechus insigiiis H. J. H. was found in the marsupium of specimens from the "Ingolf" Stat. 113 and 138.

D. scorpioides is common at West Greenland. Ortmann recorded it from Barden Bay, 20 — 25 fath., and Robertson Bay, 5 — 15 fath., both places at ab. Lat. 77°3o' N., and besides from Granville Bay, ab. Lat. 77° N., 20 — 30 fath.; Ohlin mentioned it from Murchison Sound, ab. Lat. 77°3o' N., 50 fath.; Caiman from Upernivik, Lat. 72 ''47' N., 13 fath. In 1888 the present author enumerated it from ten localities at or off West Greenland between Lat. 71 cTo'N., and Lat. 63°35'N., depths from 8 — 10 to 200 fath. ; in 1890 Prof. Bergendal secured it at two new localities, viz. Jakobshavn, Lat. 69°i3' N., 10 fath., and Egedesminde, Lat. 68°42' N.; later K. Stephenseu recorded it from Nordre Stromfjord, ab. Lat. 67°4o' N., depths from 4 — 11 and down to 27 fath., and from Bredefjord, ab. Lat. 6o°45' N., together with the more southern Skovfjord, depths from 5 — 8 and down to 120 — 153 fath.
On the northern side of Iceland this species has been taken by "Beskytteren" in Skjalfandi, 21 fath., and by the "Thor" off Husavik, 42 — 53 fath.; on the east side of Iceland, by Dr. A. C. Johansen in Bakke Fjord, 20 — 28 and 52 — 43 fath., and in Loons Yik, 40 fath. ; by Mag. R. Horring in Faskruds Fjord, 50 — 20 fath.
The Unci Amdrup Expedition secured it at Jan Mayen, 50 — 60 and 55 fath., — at this island it has been taken by Prof. Nathorst in 7 — 11 and 12 fath.

Stephensen puts together the statements published by Ohlin, H. J.

Bonnier established this species on an immature female a little less than 10 mm. long. Three specimens from a single locality I refer to this form, though they differ in some particulars from his description. The two largest specimens are females with the marsupium half developed and measuring 8.1 mm.
The carapace agrees in outline completely with Bonnier 's figure, and it is, as described by him, studded with innumerable denticles which, for the rest, differ considerably in size; the anterior half of the lateral margin behind pseudorostrum is finely serrated with obtuse teeth, and this serration is partly indicated in Bonnier's figure.

1 In oFanna Arctica Zimmer refers D.spinosa Norman (1869) as a synonym to D. echinata, which is wrong {D. spinosa is the male of D. Ralhkii), but the result is, that in his list of distribution the reference to Norman 111 1S119 and to Metzger, Mobius and Ehrenbaum on the occurrence of D. echinata in the North Sea must be cancelled. That Zimmer's statement: ndanische Gewasser, 550 F. (Norman 1894).! is wrong is easily seen, as no such depth is to be found near Denmark, but he has design- ated Norman's locality, the Faeroe Channel, as danische Gewasser.

< )ur knowledge of the 3 or 4 European species of Makrocylindrus, viz. M . serricauda Th. Seott, M . dubius Bonn., M. Josephines G. O. S. (and M . erinaceus G. O. S.), together with Didstylis longicaudata Bonn., D. longipes G. O. S., D. costata Bonn, and /). armata Norm, is insufficient. These animals, which all have the thick part of the telson long and cylindrical, the narrow part rather short with three pairs of lateral spines or without spines, are not common, their integument is fragile and consequently damaged, they are more or less spiniferous, and this armature shows some variation; adult females have not been dissected and adult males are unknown. Under these circumstances it is sometimes not possible to refer specimens with certainty to species already described, or in even' case to establish an absolutely valid new species, and the reference of species to a genus as Makrocylindrus must be provisional, as its diagnosis ought to be revised.
The material from our area comprises one of the species referred by Stebbing to Makrocylindrus, and besides a few specimens of a species which may be considered as new ; this new species differs materially from Stebbing's diagnosis of the genus in possessing 3 pairs of dorsal spines on the distal part of telson, but as it in the shape of the carapace, the uropods, etc. seems to be related to the South African M. fragilis, it is provisionally referred to the present genus.

< )l this species I have examined 3 specimens, one from the "Ingolf" area, the others from more southern localities. In two females without marsupium somewhat more than the proximal half of the thick part of telson is serrated on the sides, in a female with marsupium half developed the saw-teeth on the sides are very small ; in all three specimens the narrow part of the telson is completely smooth, while about the proximal half of the thick part is serrated in the ventral median line. : — Caiman (1. c.) mentions variation according to age in uropods and telson ; on the uropods I can say nothing, but his remarks on the telson may possibly indicate that he, as suggested by Stebbing, did not separate it from M . serricauda Th. Scott.
Occurrence. Not taken by the "Ingolf", but by the "Thor" at a single locality.
South-West of the Faeroes: Fat. 6i°i5' N., Long. 9°35' W., 463 — 515 fath. ; 1 specimen (imm. ,).
Distribution. Norman (1879) recorded it from Fat. 67°7' N., Long. 521' W., 500 fath., a station near the polar circle in the cold area, wherefore I suppose that there is a misprint in the latitude 670 instead of 6o°N., and this would agree better with the other stations from the "Lightning"- Fxpedition. The same author recorded it from the sea in the triangle: the Faeroes — Shetland — the Hebrides, 344 to 542 fath., and from a point far south-west of Ireland, 725 fath. ; the "Thor" captured a specimen not far from the last-named place, 674 — 624 fath. (Stephensen). Caiman records it from west of Ireland, 199 to 454 fath., in 1910 from three places in the southern part of the Bay of Biscay and from one place south-west of Fissabon, depths from 196 to 718 fath. ; Sars' type was taken south-west of Fissabon at Fat. 38 m1 .,' N., Long. 9°25' W., 750 fath.
