My studies on the Plancton-Copepods, brought home by the Danish Ingolf Expedition, which were commenced about 1904, have been delayed for several reasons, of which the three principal ones are: in the first place that I for several years was occupied with other topics, in the second place that the rich collections of The Thor Expedition from the waters around Iceland as well as those of the Danish Expedition to East Greenland 1900 have greatly added to the work to be done; the third reason is, that it was my intention to give so full an account of each species as possible, not only of the adult males and females but also of the different stages of Copepodites. On the Material. The principal source of material was that of the "Ingolf" 1894 and 1895; the investigation of this expedition "extended over the eastern part of the seas along the west coast of Greenland from a point a little north of the polar circle to about 58° L. N., two degrees south of Cape Farewell, from there in a north-easterly direction towards Iceland, the waters round this island and between Iceland and the Faeroes, lastly eastwards to a line drawn almost due north from the Fseroes to Jan Mayen". The above quotation is from Hansen's Crustacea Malacostraca I of the Ingolf-Expedition vol. Ill 2 1908, to the introductory remarks of which paper I partly refer. The southern limitation in the Atlantic was about 60° L. N. Comparatively few specimens were taken with the trawl; a good many of the samples were gathered with ordinary vertical nets (P and V) in a depth lying between 50 — 300 fathoms and the sur- face and a few ones witli a closing net in considerable depth; numerous samples were taken at the surface with net marked PI, Apst and Cyl during the voyage. The Ingolf collections give a very good picture of the plankton copepods, the big as well as the small species, but only down to a depth of 300 fathoms; the deeper layers of these regions are, as shown by the Thor, populated by numerous species, which were not taken by the Ingolf, at least as far as the Atlantic South and west of Iceland is concerned. It is a pity that no deep hauls were made- on the West Coast of Greenland; an Atlantic fauna, identical with that mentioned, should certainly be found here. It is rather interesting that in one of the few samples, taken with a closing net at a considerable depth near Jan Mayen St. 118 a new species Euchate Bradyi was found and in another a single specimen of so scarce a species as Scapho- calanus breviconiis G. O. Sars was secured. The Ingolfs material from the Atlantic, rich in specimens, of the bigger as well as the smaller species, which inliabit the intermediate as well as the upper layers, is in a useful way supplemented The Ingolf-Kxpcdition.

As mature males have been found in four samples (in addition to the 2 mentioned: ■/;. St. 27. 64°54 L.N. 55°io L. W. V' 200 — o and ^fa/^. St. 26. PI. 25. 63''57 L. N. 52° L. W.), in the mouth of July it is safe to conclude that propagating takes place at that date. From the North of Greenland Lundbeck and Bergeudal have 1889 and 1890 (^s— %) taken 7 samples, which all contained mature females. The other stages were less frequent. In the samples from August and September the mature were found in comparatively few samples; in the two examined samples, with numerous specimens, the stage IV formed the majority.

But it can not be denied that the percentage of mature spec- imens is bigger in the August-June samples, and that propagating takes place about the month of Jime, as fullgrown males or females with spermatophores were found '% 1892 (Lundbeck Dyrefjord), c. 20/5 1895 and 20/g 1904; no males were found September 1900.

As no Cal. hyperboreus were found in any of the samples, and as the'younger stages of Cojjepodites of C.f. were common, there is every reason to regard the nauplii and eggs found in large numbers all over the surface as belonging to the same species. Accordingly there is no reason to doubt that an important locality for the propagation of C.f. is sometimes found in this region. The few samples and the small number in which the f$ were found suggest that the f?— c? are either exstinguished or living in deeper strata. COPEPODA 27 North of Iceland.

Distribution etc. About the distribution of Cal. finmarchicus I refer to the able account of Farran (1911). It has "been recorded from the South Atlantic off Cape Colony, the west coast of North and South America, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Red Sea and the Polar Ocean." In the Pacific it has been found abundantly by Ester ly in the Bay of California. „In the North Atlantic it is distributed over the whole of the area north of about 55° N." It is sometimes found in great numbers along the east-coast of North America and is, to the east, distributed as far as the western part of the Baltic. 4 28 COPEPODA To deal with the vast topic of its seasonal occurrence in the area investigated by the Inter- national Commission does not fall within the scope of this paper, and has fortunately been as well done by Far ran as the in several respects incomplete material allowed. As, however, the important contributions to the biology of Cala/iiis finmarchicus by Dam as. Da mas & Koefoed and especially by Paulsen are based upon material from the regions investigated by the Ingolf Exped., and as all the conclusions, to which these authors have arrived, do not quite stand criticism in details, I feel obliged to deal rather exhaustively with these papers. About the vertical distribution of the different stages it seems to be a general rule, that the younger the stage of development the nearer the surface do the specimens live, as pointed out by Damas, Paulsen and Far ran; the fullgrown females and males are generally spawning on the surface in every case in the northern seas, as set forth by Damas & Koefoed, who write (1907 p. 393) "lya ponte de Calaniis Jinniarchicus s'opere visiblement a une profondeur d'autant plus grande que la region consideree est plus meridionale. Par la meme, la distance de la cote ou it se reproduit augmente progressivement; autrement dit, cette espece prend un caractere oceanique de plus en plus accentue." About the vertical distribution of the C. /. within the day I have only found observations by Esterly, who writes (1911 pp. 140 — 151) as his conclusion: i) C. /. is most abundant at the surface about 7—8 p. m. during June and July. 2) It has begun to leave the surface by midnight and is most abundant at a depth of 5 — 10 fathoms about midnight. 3) The jDlurimum during the day (6 a. m. — 6 p. m.) is probably 200 feet. He thinks that the effect of light upon the "geotropisme of animals is probably the main factor involved". On a much bigger material (1912, pp. 282 — 95) he arrives at almost the same result. Unfortunately he has not examined the part which the different stages play in these diurnal migrations. My material was not well adapted for solving this question, but the difference in the number of specimens taken by the Danish East Greenland Expedition in Denmark Strait (^3~^79) ^^- '^^b- P- 21, from North-East Iceland (^"Vg)) but especially from East Greenland (cf. tab. p. 26), indicate that all stages inhabit the surface-layers in the night in some regions and at some seasons, in which only the youngest Copepodites or the larves are frequent in the day. It must accordingly be admitted that there is a source of error in comparing the relative proportion of the different stages contained in surface samples, as Paulsen has possibly done, as he does not state whether the hauls are made in the day or in the night. It may perhaps be allowed to set forth one more general remark against Paulsens con- clusions, that they are often based upon a too scanty material; even if, f. inst., five samijles from a certain region show almost the same proportion between the stages, it is not at all inprobable, that the next 5 will show quite another result. Paulsen thus summarises (1906 p. 7) his results based on the Thors material from April 1904. "In April, there are many adult Calamis finviarchiais and Naiiplii at the surface of the sea to the south of Iceland, many Natiplii (Sample 10) west of Iceland likewise on the surface. North of Iceland there are but few adults atid probably wo junior cs. Along the east coast of Iceland C. f. seems for COPEPODA 29 the most part to be absent." On p. 6 "I thns ventnre to conclude that stage III [my IV] has been predominant along the west coast of Iceland in April". Only 2 samples (7 and 9) bear out this opinion; sample i but especially 10—12 (taken same date and locality with different nets), when rightly interpreted, shows the species in propagation. The conclusion, as far as the North is concerned, is based on several hauls with negative result and 2 samples taken with young-fish trawl and with c. 95°/o f?; to bear out this conclusion much more material is needed. His conclusion for May reads. "Whereas the Atlantic and the waters between the Faeroes and Iceland are rich in C. f. the waters on the east and north coast of Iceland are poor, of the west coast we know almost nothing." The Ingolf material from May and June 1895—96 (cf. tab. pp. 20—22) confirms this view, and shows the species in full propagation especially in the latter half of May. The same is the case in the middle of Denmark Strait. Paulsen's conclu.sion from north Iceland is placed on far too scanty material. Paulsen's conclusion for June reads. "To the south and west of Iceland there are great quantities, mainly jufiiores, — west of Iceland considerable quantities of adult both c? and ? . . . On the western part of the north coast of Iceland, where the water is warmer, many juniores were also found, on the eastern part, where the water is colder, few or none" (1906 p. 12). The Ingolf material (cf. p. 22) from the south of Iceland confirms the conclusion that the juniores predominate; the great number of St. I— III probably indicates the new generation. My own samples from the Thor and in a less degree from the Ingolf (cf. p. 20) tell the same story as far as the west coast is concerned. Paulsen thinks that the adult males and females probably belong to the new generation, "as they occur along with a number of juniores, most of which are in the larger stages". This proportion between the stages, which f. inst. is not found in a sample 1 Ingolf St. 9 ^o/^), seems just as much to speak for referring them to the old as the new generation. The hauls from the north coast are so few, that it must be admitted that our knowledge about the occurrence of C.J. in the month of June is too incomplete for any conclusion as far as this region is concerned. The author writes (1906, p. 13). "Summarising the conditions in July we find that Calanus finmarchicHs has increased more in the south than in the north, and that individuals on the easterly north coast are larger than those of the westerly north coast on the one side, and than those on the east coast on the other." The greatest number of specimens of the south coast belong to the stage V— VI; Paulsen's suggestion that deep hauls with the young-fish trawl would show a considerable amount of males is shown to be right by tab. pag. 22; whether these specimens belong to the elder or the new generation is impossible to tell. The two samples (Nr. 3—4) from the north western coast do not allow any conclusion, but the preponderance of St. IV (50—90 "/o) in 9 of 10 samples, scarcely without any adult, is very remarkable, but does not give any information about the origin of the specimens; 4 samples from the east coast show not much similarity to each other or to 2 samples, from the Ingolf (St. loi — 102) with a considerable number of adult specimens. Paulsen concludes (p. 14). "As there are practically no Calani on the greater part of the North coast at the end of May and beginning of June, and as Nielsen has shown with certainty, that the water here is renewed from the west, we are entitled to conclude that the large quantity of Calani on the north coast, as also the young of the cod, have come with the Irminger current from the west." Before accepting this 4 ^L rf 'A' w 30 COPEPODA theory, a niiicli larger number of samples from May and June must be examined. Personally I think that surface plancton like the Nauplius of C. f. are carried by the current from the south to the north, increasing in size during the carriage, but also that not the smallest amount originates where it lives, and begins to prosper when the Atlantic current makes its influence felt. Paulsen's con- clusion that from August stage V is predominant south of Iceland is proved by a big and varied material; a few samples taken by the Ingolf south-east of the Faeroes and of Iceland tells the same story. Paulsen has from the month of September examined a few samples from the north coast with St. V in the majority. Samples taken by the East Greenland Expedition north-west of Iceland, in Denmark Strait and south of Iceland tell the same story. Damas has in his interesting paper shown that the propagating of C.f. took place ^i-jo/g 1904, south of 67° ly. N. where the Atlantic and the North Polar current meet. The material brought home by the Anidrup Expedition tells exactly the same story for "J-^t/o 1900, but as far north as 69° L,. N. Damas suggested that the majority of the specimens of C. /., which inhabit the Northern Ocean took their origin from this region, and, by the Gulf-Stream, were scattered all over the ocean. He writes (1905 p. 19) "II est done extremement probable que nous avons par la reconnu le chemin suivi par le reuouvellement printanier des Calanides et I'origine des masses considerables de Calanus qui peuplent en ete le Nord de I'Ocean et y jouent un role si important." Gran had, however, in his well known paper (1902 p. 64), found the C. /. in full propagation on the north-west coast of Norway in April — May, Paulsen has from Lofoten examined specimens in propagating from ^^j — 16/^ 1899 and Damas and Koefoed (1907 p. 390 — 391) have found it spawning not only along the coast of Norway but also in the fjords of Spitzbergen {^^-^^jf, 1905). The Due d'Orleans has taken C. /. d*— $ near Cap Bismarck (76°49 L. N. i8°i3 L. W.) ^7/7 1905 *" a depth of 100 meter, 31/^ at St 42 (78°o6 L.N. i5°o6 L. W.) 44—280 m. C. f. was found cc (J*-?) and at St. 47 (76°47 L.N. i5°2i L W.) ^s 60 — 170 meter C.f. was found cc (c? — $). Even if no eggs or larvse were found together with the adults at these localities, their presence confirms my view that propagation of C. /. sometimes takes place on a large scale on the east coast of Greenland. Paulsen suggests in his concluding remarks "that the spring is perhaps not the only repro- ductive period of Calanus /mmarchicus, for the reason that we also find the adults of both sexes at other times of the year almost everywhere, where fishing has been carried out in deep waters". In this he is probably right. He agrees with the different authors "that this species has its principal reproductive period at any rate in the spring" (1906 p. 19). He is only right, if the spring is defined as the period at which the waters reach a certain temperature and salinity, and which varies according to the latitude from March (February?) to August (East Greenland). 2.

The number of secretory pores differs from that of Calanus finmarc'nicjis by the presence of a "secretory pore", (not in all specimens, as far as I was able to find out) laterally a little removed from the base in Re III pes II in stead of corresponding to the wanting Se I; in pes III — IV the pore was found at the same place as in Cal. finmarchiciis, but was more distinct. In the serration of the second basipodite of pes V it is, as shown by Giesbrecht (taf. 8 fig. 21, 23), distinctly different from that of Cal.firimarcliictis^ in which species a serrated lamina is found; in Cal. hyperboreus the number of teeth are smaller (abotit 25 — 35) and they ar not fused basally. As far as the shape of the labrum etc. is concerned I refer partly to the description of the preceding species; only a few minor differences are dealt with here. The anterior process of the labrum is more produced (text-fig. 6 a (d)). In the longitudinal series on the oral surface (figs, i a — b) the two first groups are seen to be fused and are diverging towards the free margin. In front of the lamina labialis no granulation was observed. Behind the lamina labialis (fig. i c) and between the serrtila bidentata a dense group of hairs, medially more like short spines is found; the arrangement is, as seen in the figure, somewhat different from that of Cal. finmarchicus G. Behind, the group is separated into two, of which the inner is continued between the lobi labiales, while the outer is continued on the anterior surface of the lobe and thus fused with the inner series of the lobes. The labial lobes (fig. i d), bear 4 — 5 longitudinal series, of which the inner is the longest and has the longest hairs; behind they are more or less fused with the group between the lobes. Behind the transverse list, between the mandibular and the maxillular somites, laterally on each side are found two groups of hairs, forming together a semicircular figure. Between these groups, in the middle, a group, which is in front triangularly pointed and behind the transverse line, which probably indicates the limitation between the maxillar and maxillular somites, is widened out and divided into two portions, between which a triangular median group of dense hairs is found. More posteriorly a square group of densely placed short setae is found in addition to one of fewer hairs just in front of the hinder limitation of the maxillar somite. Laterally as seen in fig. i d a few groups are found. Textfig. 6 a — b. Calanus hyperboreus Kr. 6 a. Head in lateral view. X 85. e. First abdominal somite. X 85. 32 COPEPODA Y. (St. V).

Pes I in situ X 67. 16. Description f$. Size: 10-5 mm. (anterior division 8-5; urosome 2). The head is slightly produced between the base of the antennulae and is without any crest. The rostral filaments are short and placed on a low elevation just above the rostrum, composed of a short basal part and two slightly convergent rather obtuse, fairly long spines, directed backwards and downwards. The five thoracic somites are well distinguished; the fifth is laterally triangularly produced. Projecting from the hinder margin of the head a small process, similar to that of Macrocalanus, though less prominent, is observed. The abdomen is only one fourth of the anterior division in length. The genital somite is as long as deep and wide, and in front ventrally produced. The antennulae^ which are at least 8 segments longer than the body, have all 25 segments well separated, except the VIII and IX, with the articular membranes wanting posteriorly. The segments increase in length from the 8 to the 17; beyond the 19 they are much shorter; the 23 is 1-4 as long as the 25, which is only i-i as long as the penultimate one. The 13 and 14 have in the distal part, ventrally and exteriorly, a row of delicate teeth (according to Wolfenden they are found in seg- ment 12 and 13). The bristles of the antennulae are rather delicate; the posterior setae of segment 23 — 24 are rather weak, and scarcely 1-5 as long as two distal segments (in Scott's figure they are Tlie Ingolf-Expcdition. III. 4. 6 42 COPEPODA distinctly twice as long). The arrangement and number pi setae are alike that of Macrocalaims^ and agree with Calamis by the presence of a single seta instead of two in segment 21. Antennae are in the main alike those of Cff/f?;/?/^ (cf. Wolf enden), but the Re II is by an incomplete articular line divided into a proximal division, bearing two setae, and a shorter terminal one with a single bristle. Mandibulae (figs. 3 a and c) of. Wolfenden (taf. XXII fig. 5) have a well developed manducatory portion with five distinct teeth and a few more or less fused. Maxillulae are alike Calannsfimnarchicus in most features, but differ by comparatively long Re, and by the presence of 3 setae instead of 4 in Ri I (as seen in Wolfenden's fig. 2). The Maxillae (fig. 3d) and Maxillipeds are as described by Wolfenden (taf. XXII figs. 4 and 6) in the main features alike those of Calamis, but the former organ has the fifth lobe comparatively long with a thin hook, and the latter has the hairs, which cover the anterior surface of the Basp. Ill proximally and medially bifurcate or divided into three branches, and the Se of Ri 4 — 5 are compara- tively short and unarmed. The five pair of natatory legs have three segments in exopodites and endopodites; in basipod III pes I a characteristic structure is found in the upwards directed hook, which dorsally in the concavity has a rather irregular process, and ventrally bears the slightly plumous Si; this hook is indicated in most species of Calanus and in Macrocalatms as a small process on which the Si is placed (cf. Giesbrech t p. no). Pes II has the inner margin of second basipodite almost straight (cf. fig. 3 e). Thes pes III — IV is in main features alike pes II, but Ri II with distinct Se. The pes V (fig. 3 h) is in general structure like the preceding pairs, but is distinctly shorter; the inner margin of basp. has no hairs and no Si. Glandular pores, surrounded b\- prominent rings are observed in the pes II— IV, as shown in fig. 3 e at the base of Se basp. Ill and Re I — III, and are observed surrounded by fine hairs distally on the anterior surface of Ri III; the last mentioned pore and the pore corresponding to the wanting Se I Re III are absent in pes V. Maculae cribrosae: In the legs and in a less degree in the other appendages small spots, consisting of a more or less circular ring of minute pores, continued into a delicate threadlike glandular duct? (fig. 3 f — g), are observed. As the arrangement of these, "maculae cribrosae" seems to be fairly regular, and as I have only observed them in Mcgacalanus and Macrocalatms^ I think they are of some systematic importance and hope that the following account of their number is fairly exhaustive; they are often rather diffi- cult to observe. The antennulae possess on the upper surface of the second segment a group of 9 pores; on the anterior surface of the Ri I of the antennae, at the base of the distal third, a group of about 15 pores is observed. The manducatory part of the mandibulae bears at the base of the serrations at least a single group, and the basp. Ill at least 2 rings of 7 pores anteriorly. The maxillulae bear on the anterior surface a group of 14 pores at the base of Le I and basally near the lateral margin of Re. In the maxillae a single group of 12 pores is observed on the anterior surface of the first basipodite and near the outer margin. On the posterior surface of the first pair of legs no pores are found; anteriorly a group of 10 pores is observed in basip. Ill medially to the articular cavity of Re I, and another one is seen in the COPEPODA 43 middle of Ri II. lu the second pair of legs, on the anterior surface, pores are found near the lateral margin of basip. II (on the left side a single group of lo pores and on the right side two groups of 6 pores), in the basip. Ill medially to the insertion of Re I and in Re I near base of the process bearing Se; on the posterior surface of basip. II, and at base of Se Re II and Se i — 2 Re III, a rather indistinct group of pores is found. In the third and fourth pair of legs, groups of pores are also found posteriorly at base of Se hasp. II and Re I ; in the fifth pair of legs only a single group was found in Re III posteriorly (at base of Se I). As the number and arrangement of the maculae cribrosae in the mature male are scarcely dif- ferent from those in the female, and as only the groups in the maxillulae, but not those in the nata- tory legs, were observed in the Copepodites (stage IV— V) it seems to be possible, that the main- purpose of the maculae cribrosae is connected with the sexual life (e. g. light organs). In front of the labrum and well distinguished from it, a fairly prominent elevation is found. The labrum itself is rather elongated (PI. I, figs. 3 a — b and text-fig. 8 a). Anteriorly a transverse row of delicate hairs is found, and posteriorly on each side of the median incision a transverse marginal row of about 25 rather short lancet-shaped spines in addition to two somewhat convex rows, and a small group of delicate hairs. The oral surface of the labrum has in front two well separated oblique groups. The three following groups are placed more longitudinally as seen in fig. 3 b. Only corresponding to the fourth central spot a few hairs are seen in a transverse row. The lamina labialis is, as seen in fig. 3 c, fairly distinct without serrations ; in front of this an outer convex series consisting of fairly long hairs, in continuation of the serrula 6-deutata, and three inner series of very delicate hairs are observed. Behind the lamina labialis, between and upon the labial lobes and behind these a number of series and rows of delicate hairs are found ; about their arrangement I refer to fig. 3 a. fc?. Size: 106 mm. (anterior division 8-5; urosome 2'i). The body is more slender and the process of the posterior margin of the head is better developed. The abdomen consists of 5 somites, of which the second is 2'5 as long as the first and 1-2 as long as the third. The antennulae (PI. I fig. 3 i) have the articular membranes between the 7—9 segments less well developed than between the preceding and following ones. The number of the bristles shows a similar difference from that of the female as in Calanus. The "^-Ustetasken" are powerfully developed and the Sd of segment 9 is represented by a clavate structure (fig. 3!). The other appendages do not show any difference from those of the females except the fifth pair of legs. In these the hasp, and Ri are scarcely different, but the Re have no Si except the Re II of the pes V sin, which has the Si (?) represented by a stumpy articulated process, prolonged into a somewhat twisted feathery spine, at the base of which long and stiff hairs are seen; marginally a dense seam of hairs, as figured by Wolf en den (fig. 9), is seen. Y. (V). Size: 8-2 mm. (anterior division 6-5, urosome 17). The shape of body is in main as in f$, but the lateral corner is more pointed and the urosome consists as seen in fig. 8 d of four somites, of which the first one is prominent ventrally. The mouth appendages seem in the main features alike those of mature females; the Re of the maxillulae possess as usually 10 for 11 setae. The second pair of legs differs by comparatively short Ri, which does not extend to the end of Re II, and by the wanting glandular pore at the base of Se I Re III; the same pore is wanting in the fourth pair 6* 44 COPEPODA of legs and the corresponding Se is distinctly smaller than the following. The fifth pair of legs has the Ri II— III fused with the usual number of setae, as well as the Re II— III, bearing 3 Se (pore at base of Se I missingl and 5 Si. Y. (IV). Size: 6-8 mm. (anterior portion 5-5; posterior 1-3). The body differs distinctly by a three- segmented abdomen; the first somite, which is slightly produced beneath, is the shortest, and i-6 shorter than the third one. The antcnnulae, especially the distal segments, are comparatively longer; the number of setae differ in several details. The vtaxillnlae differ by a smaller number of bristles in Ri (Ri I has f. inst. only 2 setae) and by 9 setae of Re. The first pair of legs have the Ri II —III fused with 8 setae, and the Re II — III with 3 rather slender Se, but only 4 Si. The second pair of legs has the Ri II — III fused with 9 setae, and the Re II — III fused with 3 Se and 5 Si; glandular pores as in preceding stage. The fourth pair of legs has 7 setae in Ri II ess III, and 5 Si and 3 Se, of which first one without glandular pore, in Re II ^ III. The fifth pair of legs has the Ri I ^ III with 6 setae and the Re Ic^^III with 3 Si, 3 Se and a St.; only a .single pore at base of Se III is found. Occurrence. This species has not been captured by the lugolf Expedition, but has been taken at the following stations in deep hauls by the Thor 1904 — 1905 south and west of Iceland.

This species seems to be fairly common in the Fseroe-Shetland Channel, and on the west coast of Ireland between 600 and 1000 fathoms. It has been taken in the Atlantic by the Gauss Expedition as well as at a single station in the south polar region (c. 65° Lat S. c. 85° Long. E). By the Siboga Expedition it has been taken at three stations at about 4° Lat S. 129 Long. E. Eucalanidae. Rhincalanus nasutus Giesbr. (PI. I figs. 4a— e). 1877, Rhincalanus gigas Brady.

When this characteristic species is examined in lateral view, a marked difference is observed between the different specimens in the outHne of the head; in some animals a distinct pointed eminence is seen jnst in front of the insertion of the antennulae, in others the outline in more even as figured by Sars; the size of this eminence is probably dependent upon the preservation of the animal and the position of the antennulae in the moment of death. The structure of the limbs is scarcely different from Giesbr echt's description. In the exterior margin in the middle between Se I and II of the Re II -nj III in the first pair of legs a small incision with a circular pore(?), through which a minute conical eminence projects, is seen (glandular pore?). In the three last pair of legs I have not been able to find secretory pores with certainty. As seen in Sars' figure the labrum, which is widely removed from the insertion of the anten- nulae, is saddle-shaped and by a median line divided into an anterior and a posterior division (fig. 4a). On the oral surface of the labrum, on each side almost attaining the middle, a row of fairly long stiff hairs are found in addition to six short stout setae, more alike granules, in the middle partly fused with transverse groups, and two posterior groups of partly sickleshaped spines, between which large group of stout teeth are found (cf. PI. I fig. 4e). The lamina labialis consists of a median and two lateral divisions (fig. 4 c). In front of this we have laterally an inwards convex series of fairly long bristles; the inner longitudinal row is posteriorly represented by row of rather short spines or granules and anteriorly with irregular group of similar spines. Behind the lamina labialis and between the serrula 6-dentata the setae are arranged as figured. The lobus labialis possesses 4 longitudinal series or groups of hairs, which posteriorly and inwards are fused into a big irregular group of hairs, extending between the two lobi. fcf. Size: 3-8 to 4-5 mm. The head is less produced in front of the rostral filaments. The ab- domen, which is one fourth of the length of the anterior division consists of five somites; the first one is dorsally and posteriorly produced into a distinct spine, corresponding to that found in the genital somite of the female. The two first segments of the antennulae are well separated. The antennae (cf. PI. I fig. 4f) are more clumsy than those of the female, and so are the mandibulae, which have a well developed manducatory lobe. The maxillulae, maxillae and maxillipeds, especially the latter, which have the second basal segment scarcely twice instead of three times as long as wide, are more clumsy than in the females, but scarcely less adapted for manducatory purposes. The mouth and its surroundings are scarcely different from those of the female; the single specimen which I examined had the spinulation of the labrum less coarse than in the female. The natatory legs are scarcely different from those of the female. The internal sexual organs are found on the left side. 46 COPEPODA Of this species Giesbrecht has only examined a single mutilated male from the Pacific Ocean. The figure, which is represented on his pi. 9 fig. 14 is not quite like the structure found in several males which I have examined, the main-differences being that the endopodite of the right leg in none of my specimens is terminated with a short clumsy hair; it is rather doubtful if this difference has any specific value, as the legs of the animals examined show marked variations in other respects. The left leg consists of 2 basal segments and a fairly elongate exopodite (fig. 4g) produced into a more or less curved terminal spine and a minute Se; only in a single one of my specimens, which had no Se, the St was so strongly curved as figured by Giesbrecht (fig. 4h). In the four specimens examined the exopodite of the right leg had a long St and a short slender Se; but the endopodite varied in a curious way. In a specimen (fig. 4g) with the Ri about 5 times as long as wide, the articular line between the last two segments was alSbst obsolete, and the posterior surface was more hairy than in the specimen with the segment about 3-6 as long as wide (fig. 4h). In a single specimen (fig. 4J) the Ri was represented by short segment, but this is probably due to a mutilation. Y. $ — d* (St. V). Size: 3-5 — 4-1 mm. The "head" is about twice as long as the thorax, and the anterior division is 5-5 as long as the abdomen, which consists of four somites; the last one is partly fused with the furca; the first (genital) somite is produced beneath in the female, not in the male. The appendages are in most respects alike those of the mature females; the only difference of any interest is, that the exopodite of the maxillulae po.ssesses 8 instead of 9 bristles. While the fifth pair of legs in the female is like that of the mature, this organ is in the male less developed than iu the full-grown animal. The left leg (fig. 4k) is most similar to that of the female, but less slender; the Ri is represented by a conical protuberance, and a minute Se is found in Re. The right leg possesses an exopodite very similar to that of the left leg, and a fairly long and slender endopodite with a slender terminal bristle. Brady gives (PI. VIII, fig. ro) in his description of Rh. gigas^ without having under- stood its real nature, a figure of the fifth pair of legs in the young male; the Ri dext. has two bristles in stead of a single one, and the Se of Re is missing; in the former feature a valuable character between the yj* of the two species is probably found; the latter character is probably due to a mistake (or an abnormity) as an exterior seta is present even iu the mature female of Brady's species (PI. VIII fig. 9) as well as in Rh. graiidis Giesbr. in contrast to the female of Rh. nasutus. Y. $ — $ (St. IV). Size : 3-9 mm. This stage is characterized by the three somites of the urosome. The pes V is better developed in the male; the right and the left legs are as shown in fig. 4I nearly symmetric. The Ri sin. is longer than in the preceding stage, but shorter than the Ri dext, which is however shorter than the Re dext. Variation. A mature female (Thor St. 72; fig. 4 b) had the lateral thoracic spine on right side of fourth thoracic somite distinctly bifurcate (in the same specimen a nematode was dwelling as para- site); a corresponding variation was found in a specimen from Thor St. 183, but in addition the right dorsal spine of the first abdominal somite was bifurcate. In a mature female from Thor St. 82 the latter abnormity was found on both sides and in a )oung female on the left side only. In a single specimen (Thor St. 88) the Re of the right fifth foot has a lateral pointed projection (fig. 4d); about the variations iu the fifth pair of legs in the males I refer to the description of the male. COPEPODA 47 Parasitism. In several specimens the body cavity was partly filled with a nematod, which was very distinct through the skin on account of its white colour; this parasite was observed in a young female from Thor St. 153, in 5 i^ from St. 183 and in one from St. 82, and mag. sci. Hj. Ditlevsen has kindly informed me that it is a larval stage, the exact determination of which is impossible on account of bad conservation. Occurrence.

From the material available it has been impossible to form any conclusive opinion about the season at which Rhincalanus nasutus attains its full development By counting the specimens, col- lected by the Thor Expedition with the young fish trawl from May, June and July 1904 and 1905, I have attained the following figures. Even if we admit that the animals have been taken in two suc- ceeding years in a limited and occasional quantity, I think that the following figures give some im- pression of the relation between the males and females etc. About 100 f$, 20 y$ and a few young males were taken in the month of May 1904 between 62°47 L. N. i5°05 L. W. and 6i°i5 L. N. 9°35 L. W. In June 1905 about 150 i% about 80 fc?, about 105 y$ and 50 yd* were taken between 57°52 L. N. and 47°47 L. N., 9°53 L. W. and 8°o6 L. W. In July 1904 (6i°30 L. N. i7°o8 L. W.) a single sample containing 150 f?, i fc?, 2 y? and 2 yc? was taken. Vg 1904 (62°49 L. N. i8°46 L. W. Yt. 500 M. W.) 5 females were captured. As the greatest number of males (60) against 75 females, of which three carried spermatophores attached to the genital somite, were taken ^o^^ 1^05 St. 88 48°09 L. N. 8''30 L. W. Yt. 300—0, propagation probably took place in this locality. Distribution. This species has been recorded from the Pacific between the vStraits of IMagellan and the Gulf of California, from the western part of the Mediterranean and from the Indian Ocean (one specimen only). Our knowledge about its distribution in the greater part of the Atlantic is very scarce: "As far as concerns its distribution in the N. E. Atlantic, it may be regarded as an inhabitant of the Atlantic current; its distribution to the north and east depending on the varying strength of that stream" (Far ran p. 65). I think, that its occurrence on the west coast of Ireland, the Faeroe channel, the Faeroe-Iceland channel, the North Sea south and south-east of Shetland, the Norwegian Sea east of the Faeroes and east of Iceland (vSars), as well as at my own localities the south and west of Iceland is easily explained in this way. The vertical range of the species seems to be uniform from the surface down to more than 1800 meters (Far ran p. 66). Esterly (1912 pp. 317 — 318) has on a somewhat scanty material drawn the conclusion that there is indication "of a movement of the greater proportion of the individuals from the neighbour- hood of 200 fathoms upwards to above 100 fathoms at night". 6.

No glandular pores were observed in the natatory limbs. The labrnm proper, which is suddenly raised from the region lying in front of it, is by a transverse groove divided into an anterior and a more raised posterior portion; the latter is divided into three hairy lobes, a median and two lateral ones ' ■^ (text-fig. 9 a). The oral surface (fig. 5 a) shows a structure similar to that found in Rhincalanus , but the two first groups of the longitudinal series consist of fairly long and slender bristles. In front of as well as behind the transverse bar the skin is beset with a dense group of strong granules. In front of the trebly divided lamina labiaUs (fig. 5 b) a median longitudinal row of long and a lateral one of very delicate setae are observed; in the middle a row of very short hairs is found on each side, single behind and double in front. Between the serrulae 6-dentatae a longi- tudinal lateral series, a median group and more posteriorly a transverse group of short setae are found ; behind the serrnla an oblique group was seen. The area labialis possesses a central group of hairs between the labial lobes, parti)' continued on the latter, which bear four fairly regular rows of hairs. Text-fig. 9.

The head is in front of the transverse groove more strongly convex (text-fig. 9c) and the labrum is lower; its oral surface is smooth; the labial appendages are lower. The intestine is well developed with the usual convexity and coecal sacs. The oral appendages are, as shown by Giesbrecht, greatly reduced. The legs of the fifth pair (fig. 5 c) are more slender than figured by Giesbrecht; the left leg was, except in two spec- imens, the longer. In a single male the terminal segments of the fifth pair possessed a small median hair in addition to the terminal one. The fifth pair of the young male has the left leg a little longer than the right; the Re is divided into two distinct segments, of which the latter bears two long bristle^ (fig. 5 f, cf. Wolfenden PL IX, fig. 3); in a single young? male the number of setae in the terminal segment was 3 instead of 2 (fig. 5 d) and in another young (?) male the structure was, as seen in fig. 5 e, more like that of the mature male. J? (V). Size: 4-5 mm. The lateral corner of the last thoracic somite is like that of the fc?. The urosome consists of three somites, as the two basal ones (text-fig. 9 e) are fused in most specimens The Ingolf-Expedition. III. 4. 7 CO COPEPODA and slightly produced below. The anal somite is fused with the furcal rami, of which sometimes the left and sometimes the right is the longer. The structure of the legs and of the labrum is scarcely different from that of the female. Jc? (V). The male of this stage is scarcely different from the female except for the four abdominal somites (text-fig. 9 f) and well developed fifth pair of legs, as previously described. Wol- f end en (1904 p. 113) has, with some doubt established the yoiing male of this species as a new one Euc. atla7iiicits, because "the larger furcal segment and longest tail seta are on the left side, instead of the right side", and on account of the not retrograded oral organs. As, however, the former assumption is wrong, because not only males and females but also young specimens have the longest furcal branch now on the right and now on the left side, and as the latter is a general phenomenon in the young males, the species must vanish. J$ (IV). Size: 3-8 mm. In general structure this stage is like the preceding one, but the urosome consists of 3 somites, of which the two first are of almost equal length and distinctly shorter than the third one, which is fused with the furcal rami, on the left side being the longer in both .specimens examined. The ovaries were well developed though less so than in the preceding stage. Occurrence. The Ingolf has taken this species only at a single station in Denmark Strait. 27/6 1896 St. 95 65°i4 Lat.

It is rather curious that a large number of adult females, but only three young animals, from three stations, were taken in the numerous samples brought home by the Ingolf and Thor from 31/^ — % north of 61° Lat.

This species has been recorded from the Mediterrenean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific between 61° L,at. N. and 33° Lat. S., and the North and South Atlantic (as far south as 47° Lat. S. 40° Long W.). In the North Atlantic (cf. Farran PI. XIV) it has been found on the south and west coast of Ireland, in the Faeroe channel, north and east of Shetland and occasionally in the North Sea as far east as the coast of Norway. "In point of number it is generally scarce. Vertically it is recorded from the surface down to 4000 meters." Esterly (1912 pp. 295 — 300) has on an extensive material made it probable "that the species is more abundant and more frequent above 50 fathoms by night than by day." 52 COPEPODA 7.

Tlie head i text-figs. 10 a — b) is like that of Rhincalanus ?iasutus triangularly produced in •' '' " lateral as well as iu dorsal view. The fifth thoracic somite (text-fig. IOC — d) is fairly well marked out, especially dorsally, and its lateral corners are slightly produced and rounded. The rostral filaments (text-fig. 10 e) are long and slender, and placed on a long bifurcate basal portion. The urosomi\ which is scarcely one sixth as long as the anterior portion, consists of three somites. The first (I <^ II), which does not show any trace of receptacula seminis, is longer than the two following combined; the fourth somite is completely fused with the furca, which has the longer branch on the left side. The St. 2 sin. is distinctly longer and more powerful than the other setae. The structure of the mouth appendages and natatory legs scarcely shows differences of any importance from Giesbrecht's description; the Ri 2 of the maxillipeds has only 3 instead of 4 Si. No glandular pores were observed in the four pair of legs. The labriim is in lateral view like that of Euc. clongatus Text-fig. 10. Eucalanus attenuatus Daua. YQ (stage V}. a.

About the small differences existing in the structure of the labium etc. I refer to fig. 6 b. Yc? (Stage V). Length : 5 mm. The lateral corner of the fifth thoracic somite is less produced. The urosovic consists of four somites, of which the first one is i-2 as long as the second, which is again 1-3 as long as the third and fourth. In this species the fifth pair of legs (fig. 6 c) shows, as a whole, more similarity to that of the adult male of E. attenuatus than in E. clongatus. The right leg is the shorter, and the segments are more attenuated than in the mature male. COPEPODA 53 Remarks. IMost probably the specimens examined ought to be referred to Eiic. attcnuatus Dana in spite of a more produced forehead than in original specimens, and of greater size (Giesbrecht f?: 4-2— 4-85 mm.)- The Thor Expedition has taken the species at the following two stations 11/7 1904 St. 183 6i°30 L.

The basal fused portion of the rostral filaments is com- paratively longer than figured by Giesbrecht (t. 35, fig. 26). The last thoracic somite, which is well marked out, is somewhat rounded (text-fig. 11). The abdomen consists of 3 somites only; the receptaculum seminis is large. The coecal sacs on each side are divided into smaller parts (fig. 7). In the structure of the appendages a feature of interest was observed in the structure of the external process of the basal segment of Ri, pes I, which is produced into a distinct point not seen in Giesbrechts fig. 29 taf. 11. No glandular pore was observed. The labrum is, in appearance, like that of Epical, clongatus, but the distance to the insertion of the antennulae is comparatively shorter, and by a transverse groove divided into an anterior and a posterior better raised part. The oral surface of the labrum is most like that of Eiic. attenuahis, but differs somewhat by sharp distinction Text-fig. II. between median and lateral groups of marginal bristles. The two first groups of the Eucalanus crassus longitudinal series are partly fused and convex towards the middle. Around the first Giesbr. f 9.

Description, fj. Size: 0-84 — i-o mm. In contrast to Giesbrecht the head and the first thoracic somite are completely fused. The niouthlimbs are scarcely different from Giesbrecht's description. In the structure of the natatory legs, however, fairly well marked differences are found, especially in the armatures of the basipodites and endopodites; in these respects they fairly well agree with Sars' description, but especially with that given by Wo If end en for his P. parvus variet. horealis. In Sars figure, Pl. IX, the first segment of the exopodite of the first pair of legs has a minute spine; in all my specimens this spine is sub- stituted for by a bundle of fine hairs as seen in Giesbrecht's Taf. 9 fig. 31. Glandular pores are ob- served at the base of the exterior spines of the exopodites (at least in the second pair of legs). Between the mouth and the rostral filaments the usual elevations are found; I was not able to see any setae along the hinder margin of the labrum. The arrangement of hairs on the oral sur- face of the labrum is similar to that of Pseudocalanus. The first group, which is convex outwards, and oblique, consists of about 10 short hairs in a single row; this group is followed by an almost straight row of about 25 very short hairs; most orally, and fairly well separated from this group, 20 hairs are placed in a S-shaped group. Laterally to the first group two parth- transverse groups of COPEPODA 55 fairly long setae, slightly convex inwards and posteriorly, are found. The median circular spots and transverse series of hairs were not observed. The lamina labialis shows three serrations, of which the median is the smallest. The scrrula 6-dentata is found as usually; the arrangement of the setae was not examined in detail. i$. About the description of the mature males I refer to Sars and Giesbrecht. Size: 07 — I -02 mm. Y$— J" (St. V). Size: c? o-8o mm. (O.Exp. 1900); ? (o-6i -j- o-i8) = 079 mm. (Ingolf 96 Cyl. 45). The shape of the bod)- is in the main like that of the mature female, but the head and the first thoracic somite are fairly well separated, and there is an indication of limitation between fourth and fifth thoracic somite. The first abdominal somite is, at least in most specimens, distinctly produced below (text-fig. 12 b). The oral appendages are scarcely different from those of the mature females; the natatory legs, however, show a few differences; a very short Se Re II is present in the first pair of legs. The ex- terior margin of the last segment of exo- podite is smooth in the fourth pair of legs, but, as usual, dentated in the third pair. The fifth pair of legs appears more clumsy with shorter terminal spine. The male differs from the female by the less prominent first abdominal somite, and by the better developed asymmetrical fourth pair of legs (cf. Canu) (textfigs. 12 c — d). Y$— c? (St. IV). Size: (0-48 -{- 0-14) = 0-62 mm. This stage is easily distinguished from the pre- ceding one by the number of abdominal somites (3 only). As in the other stage, differences are found in the less prominent fifth pair of legs in the males (cf. text-figs. 12 e — f). Of the copepodites (stages I — III) I am not sure of having observed any; according to Ob erg these as well as the larval forms are rather difficult to distinguish from those of Fsetidocalamis elon- gatus] they are, however, smaller and more clumsy, and have the exopodite and the endopodites of the antennae of almost equal length. From Ingolf St. 62 (Apst. 14) I have examined a young specimen (St II) 0-6 mm. long and one (St. I) 0-48 mm. long, which on account of the long endopodite of the antenna perhaps ought to be referred to this species. Variation. In a single mature female? (F. 389 0. Exp. 1900), the size of which was (o-68 -f 0-2) = 0-88 mm. the left leg of the fifth pair consisted of four segments as in the immature male, while the right consisted of two segments only. A somewhat smaller female from the same locality had both pair of usual structure. Bay has taken 3 specimens with the left leg somewhat longer than the right. Text-fig. 12.

Normann &: Sco tt have with reservation described a female with the right fifth foot three-segmented, and longer than the left as P. /. var. pcrplcxus. Remarks. The specimens, which have been examined all belong to the northern variet}- (var. borealis Wolfenden p. 997), and are fairly well distinguished from the Mediterranean form described b}- Giesbrecht. A. Scott (1909 pp. 27 — 28) thinks that the differences are rather unimportant, in that he is scarcely right. Detailed examination of a good many specimens from different localities especially from the Mid-Atlantic is necessarj- to decide the question whether the observed differences are specific or due other reasons. Occurrence. The Ingolf Expedition has taken this species from 7 stations to the south and south-east of Iceland as well as in the Fseroe channel. It has been taken as far west as at St. 84 Long. W. 25°24, Lat. N. 62°58; the only station farther north where is has been taken by the Ingolf Exp. is St. 101 (Apst. 47 9/7 1896 4 p. m. 66°23 Lat. N. i2''05 L. W. 2 f$) north-east of Iceland. From the East Greenland Exp. 1900 it was once taken in Denmarks Strait as far north as 65°36 L. N. 3i°32 L. W. 9/g 2 a. m. F. 31S. The comparatively few other localities, in which it has been taken by this Expedition lies between 62°o6 Lat. N. and 59° 20 L. N., and 2i°ii L. W. and o°52 L. W. At the fol- lowing stations more than single specimens of this species were captured. Ingolf 17/, 96 St. 84 62°58 L. N. 25=24 L. W. Cyl. 9 f?; 3 y? (V); 2 yc? (IV). 19/8 95 6i°02 L. N. o°4o L. W.

It is an interesting fact that almost all the collections of this species are from the month of September (O. Exp. 1900 %— 3% 16 Stations) or from the month of August (Ingolf Exp. 1895—96 9/8 — '7/8 8 Stations). In the month of May a single >oung male (^/^ 96 Cyl. 2 57°54 Lat. N. 6"'27 L. E.) was taken, and in the month of July (Cyl. St. 84 ^Tji, 1896 62°58 Lat. N. 25=24 Long. W.) 9 mature females, 3 young females (stage V) and 2 joung males (stage IV) were taken. Young animals (St. IV — V) were also captured as late as 27/3 1896 and ^^/g ^QOO- The fact that this species was rarely taken in several collections in the monthes of May and June 1895, 1896 and 1900 in the same regions in which it was found in August and September indicates a certain periodicity in its occurrence, as shown by Far ran, in several of the localities explored b)- the International Investigations (1910 pp. 61—62). The average salinity for this species, which generally is swarming at the surface is rather low in the Kattegat (19-33 7oo, Temp. 10-33° C-), but a good deal higher in the English Channel (35-26 7oo, Temp. 13-28° C). According to Cleve (1901) the salinity in the Arabian Gulf Ues between 35-77 °/oo and 36-20700 (Temj). 26-7 C.) and in 1904 between 35-40 and 40-70700; the maximum temperature at which it was found in the Indian Ocean is 29=35 C. (Cleve 1901 p. 8). Distribution. Assuming the specific identity of the northern and tropical forms we find records of its occurrence from the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean as far South as New Zealand (Brady 1911 p. 32), the Malay Archipelagos (A.Scott 1909) the COPEPODA 57 Pacific between 6i^ N. and 52° N., between 10° S. and 55^ S. west of South-America, and 108° L. W. Equator (Giesbrecht 1892) and off California (Esterly 1905). In the North Atlantic it has been recorded on the west side off Woods Hole (Wheeler 1900) and on the east from the Faeroes to Gibraltar. According- to Scott (1894) it is fairly common in the Gulf of Guinea as far south as the Congo; Wolfenden shares, probably rightly, the opinion that the species which the mentioned author describes as P. parvus really is Paracalanus aculcatns Giesbr., which represents this species in the South Atlantic (191 1, p. 203). In addition to all these localities this species is found in the southern part of the Baltic, the Kattegat and the North Sea. Pseudocalanidae. 10. Pseudocalanus minutus Kroyer.

As Kroyer has described and figured a )oung male of his species, it is perhaps not so curious that the different authors have not realized that it is identical with Pseudocalanus elon- gatus Boeck. Kroyer's description and figure are however so good, that scarcely any other species from the Arctic Sea has a pernultimate stage to be confounded with it. As I have had the opportunity of examining Kroyer's original specimens, it is quite evident to me, that the two species are identical; the three examined specimens belonged all to the penultimate stage (ic? -f 2?); they were in the shape of the head most ahke Ps. gracilis, and were of middle size. According to the general rules of nomen- clature the name Ps. elongatus ought to be changed to Ps. minutus Kr., if the three forms are referred to a single species. T!ie Ingolf-Expeditton. III. 4. 58 COPEPODA Introductory Remarks. The material which I have examined of this species has been very big, as it is one of the most abundant and widely distributed plancton-copepods of the northern seas; it was therefore quite necessary for me to try to solve the question, whether different or only a single species alike to Pseudocalaniis minutus exist; unfortimately the result of my investigations is not quite satisfactory. Sars has been the first, who has pointed out that different types exist, and taking the scanty material into consideration he was quite right in establishing the three species Ps. clongatus Boeck, Ps. major G. O. S. and Pseudocalanus gracilis G. O. S. No naturalist has later on tried to solve the question, scarcely touched it'; most of them have examined specimens from southern regions and '' have scarcely been wrong in referring them to the Ps. elon- gatus Boeck (sensu strictu). According to Sars the 3 species are characterized in the fol- lowing manner. i) Ps. major G. O. S. Aver- age length of $ 24 mm. Tlie head is only slightly produced anteriorly; the abdomen is half as long as the cephalothorax. The antennulae extend almost to the middle of the abdomen. 2) Ps. clongatus Boeck (sens, strict). The average length is 1-4 ram. The head is only slightly produced anteriorly; the urosome somewhat exceeding half the length of the anterior division. The antennulae scarcely reach beyond the second caudal somite. 3) Ps. gracilis G. O. S. Average length 1-65 mm. The body is more slender and the head anteriorly distinctly produced; the urosome scarcely exceeds half the length of the anterior division; the caudal rami are comparatively narrower and more divergent. The antennulae reach to the end of the third caudal somite. Legs considerably more slender than in the typical species, with both rami very narrow. It will be noticed that in most characters, except in size, the Ps. gracilis differs almost equally from the two other forms. The character found in the size and the length of the urosome is at least of very relative value, as even from the same station (Ing. Nr. 31) ^ the following was observed: Spec Nr. i 2-3 mm. with ant. division 2-5 x urosome, Nr. 2 I'S mm. ant. div. 2-5 x uros. (head of gracilis type); Nr. 3 i-8 mm. ant. div. 2 x uros. (head elong. type); Nr. 4 17 mm. ant. divis. 2-5 X uros., Nr. 5 1-5 mm. ant. divis. 2-4 x urosome; Nr. 6 1-4 mm. ant. divis. 2-i x urosome; Nr. 7 1-2 mm. ant. divis. 23 x urosome. The relation between the length of the urosome and anterior portion has Text-fig. 13. Pseiulocalanus mintttits Kr. a. f?. Head from the left X no. b--c. Y$ — o" (stage V) .A.bdonieu X 59- d.

B. from this station was found copepodite (St. V) 17 mm. and cop. (St. IV) f4mm. long. COPEPODA 59 also been examined at se\eral other stations (f. iust. Gnnolfsvig Iceland), where I often found that the small specimens had the nrosonie comparatively longer (f. inst. ant. div. 1-9 x uros.), but with several exceptions. According to Sars the anterior division of Ps. gracilis is comparativel}- more slender; I found, certainly, that a specimen of t\-pus ?iiajor had the anterior division 2-3 as long as wide, one of t\-pus gracilis 27 as long as wide, and one of typus cloiigahis 2-4 as long as wide, but as several exceptions were found, I was not able to use this character. I first got the impression that the characters found in the comparatively long antennulae and natatory legs in several specimens of the typus gracilis were useful, but a stud)' of greater material made it evident to me that they were too variable to be of any value. The feature which marks out some specimens as gracilis i.s the curiously prominent forehead, which is in any case very seldom found in the biggest as well as in the smaller specimens. But as all transitions were found between the different shape of head, even in specimens which in other respects were most like gracilis, it was impossible for me to accept more than a single species. Description, f?. I was not able with certainty to find any secretory pores in the natatory legs. The labruiii proper, which is the most posterior of a row of more or less prominent elevations found behind the insertion of the rostral filaments (text-fig. 13 a), has along its hinder margin, on each side, a group of fairly long hairs, and in the middle, somewhat in front, a hairy protuberance. The oral surface of the labrum possesses four groups of short hairs, as seen in fig. 8 (PI. I). The lamina la- bialis has along its posterior margin three indistinct rounded eminences ; orally the two usual longitudinal series of fairly short hairs are observed, of which the more lateral is longer and with longer hairs. Behind the lamina a transverse row of short hairs or teeth is observed and a similar but longitudinal one is found inside the serrula 6-dentata. Between the labial lobes, which are covered with hairs, the arrangement of which were not made out, about four groups of hairs are found, of which the hind- most, which has longer hairs, stands more laterally. Between this and the lateral margin behind the labial lobes 2 oblique groups of hairs are present. Behind the area labialis proper is found on each side a large group of fairly long hairs in addition to a few hairs more laterally, and in the middle a triangular group, placed more posteriorly and with its hindmost, wider part fused with a rather irregular group of setae placed between the insertion of the maxillae. fc?. As far as the full-grown males, of which comparativelj- few were examined, were concerned, I could not find other differences between the different specimens than that of size, varying from i-i to 1-4 mm. Canu and Sars have given descriptions and figures of the rudimentary mouth limbs. In most specimens an indication between the head and first thoracic somites was seen as figured by Canu as well for the male as for the immature specimens. Y. (Stage IV). Size: r2— rg mm. The last thoracic somite is generally more produced than that of the mature females, and dorsally a more or less marked limitation between the two last somites is found (text-figs. 12 b— c). The urosome is comparatively short and sometimes only one third of the anterior division; according to Kraefft (figs. 15 — 18) the two first somites are better separated in the males than in the females; generally no such differences were observed, but in some young females, especially of the smaller "variety", the two first somites were somewhat produced below, 6o COPEPODA probably an indication of the final ecdysis. The mouth limbs are scarcely different from those of mature females. The males are always easily distinguished from the females by the presence of the well developed pes V (text-fig. 13 d) which consists of two basal segments and two terminal ones (Re), which especially on the right side, are not always so well distinguished as figured by Canu (PL II fig. 6). In this stage varieties similar to those of mature females but less marked were found. Y. (Stage IV). Size: o-g — 1-4 mm. But for the presence of only 3 somites in the abdomen this stage is like the preceding one, and shows similar differences between the two sexes (text-figs. 13 e— f). Y. (Stage III). Size: 07 — 1-0 mm. This stage, of which Stephen sen has given figures of all the limbs, shows no sexual differences, and is characterized by four natatory legs and two abdo- minal somites. Y. (Stage II). Size. 0-5 — 08 mm. This stage has three natatory legs and two abdominal somites. The last copepodite stage as well as the larval forms was not with security found out; I refer to O berg's description. Variation. From Iceland I have examined a female (taken ^'^l(, 1902 by Ditlevseu in Heste- reyrifjorde) with a spermatophor attached to the genital somite, in which a fairly well developed " *■ ' fifth pair of legs was observed (cf. text-fig. 14 a— b). The Ingolf Exp. (at St. 49 V.' 100 — o fm.) has taken a full-grown female? alike the preceding but with much longer pes V, of which the left is longer than the right (text-fig. 14 c). The 0. Exp. 1900 (F. 451) has taken a female with a right and left pes V of almost equal length ; the Re III of left pair is rounded and short, without terminal seta; the corresponding segment of the rio-ht side is more elongate. From Ingolf (St. 29 V 50 — o fm.) I have examined a young animal ($?) with a rudimentary pair of legs, . Text-fig. 14. Pseud, minuttn Kr., abnormal female.

(to the right) Pes V of specimen from Ing. St. 49. small terminal segment. Boeck is the first who has mentioned females with a fifth pair of legs (1S64 p. 234), and Mrazek has published an interesting study on this topic. He has found a small rudiment now and then, and sometimes a fairly well developed pair of legs; his figures of two spec- imens are somewhat different from each other, but in structure mainly like my specimen from O. Exp. Kraef ft has examined a female with a rudimentary fifth pair of legs. It is interesting, though in no way surprising, that the organ in none of the 6 specimens in which its structure has been described was alike another. Occurrence. This species has been taken almost all over the area explored by the Ingolf Expedition, as far north as Jan Mayen and the Diskoislaud; in the Atlantic it has not been taken farther south than at the latitude of 63° North. By the East-Greenland Expedition it was only taken at comparatively few stations, south east of the Faeroes 6i°o6 Lat. N. io°26 Long. W., in the Nor- wegian Sea as far east as 1^04 Long. East (lat. 62°i6 North) and at 6°i2 Long. West (at 69°o6 Lat. COPEPODA 6l North), ill the Polar Sea as far north as 72^30 Lat. North (6^41 Long. West), along the east coast of Greenland as far north as c. 70° Lat. N. In Denmark Strait, in the Atlantic (west of the Faeroes) and in the fjords of Iceland as well as on the west coast of Greenland it has been taken by several collectors. In the following I am going to give an acconnt of the number of stations at which the diffe- rent stages and partly the types of the species were taken at the different seasons. West Greenland. In Davis Strait, on the west coast of Greenland, the Ingolf Expedition 1895, has taken mature females of Ps. uiajor^ at four stations from '/? — "/? ^895, Ps. gracilis at five stations from ^'^/e—^^/y, and Ps. clongatus from a single stat. ^V?- O^ the copepodites (St. V) specimens of Ps. major have been taken at 2 stat.

West) a single mature male was found, but at no station copepod. of younger stages than the fourth were taken. In contrast to the Ingolf Expedition, by which most specimens were taken in the open sea in vertical hauls in a depth of from 200—0 fathoms, Bergendal and Lund beck have in 1890 taken a good many specimens at the surface and near the coast. On that account, perhaps, almost all the specimens are most naturally referred to the Ps. clongatus type. From "Jakobshavn" 2 mature males |from the same sample 50 f?; 5 y^ (V); 4 y$ (V); 3 yc?

(VI) and 3 y? (V). West of Iceland. In Denmark Strait and on the west coast of Iceland no specimens, which were naturally referred to Ps. major, were observed; mature females of Ps. gracilis were only taken at 3 stations (V.' 19-^°/, 1895) in the open sea and young ones (III — V) only '9/5, while specimens in different stages, including mature males, of the Ps. clongatus s. s. were only found in "Dyrefjord" [30/5 1895. 6 f$ (partly with egg-balls attached to genital somite), 9 y?

If any conclusions with regard to the occurrence of the three mentioned types can be drawn from the above, it must be that Ps. major is only found in the open sea in Davis Strait, probably not at the surface, that Ps. elongatus is often found at the very surface, most common in samples taken comparatively near the coast, though in no wise scarce in those from the open sea, and that Ps. gracilis seems to be a more northern and more oceanic form. Propagation. As it is generally recognised that the mature males of the pelagic copepodes, especially in species in which the manducatory limbs are rudimentary, only live a comparatively short time, we are right in concluding that the seasons in which we find mature males are those of tlie propagation of the species; specimens with spermatophores attached to the genital somite and with egg-balls indicate the same. Mature males have been found south-east of the Faeroes Wj 1895 and in 4 samples 4/5—6/5 1896, in the Iceland-Faeroe Channel at 3 stations "/j— '3/5 1895 and ^°\^ 1896, south-west of Iceland 's/g and 7/8 1896, in Denmark Strait at 2 stations '9/5—20/5 1895, in various Icelandish fjords, in 5 samples 3;,_ 30/j 1895— 1902, at the Orkney Islands '8/3 1848; 3/^ 1899 a female with spermatophor was taken at the Fferoe Islands; "/e 1891 mature males were taken south-east of the Fseroes; north-east of Iceland (as far north as 66° Lat.

Distribution. The Pseudocalanus minuhis Kr. has its main distribution over the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, on the west side as far south as the Gulf of St. Laurence, and on the east as far south as 35° Lat. North; it has been mentioned from the Black Sea, the Gulf of Suez and the Mediterranean. In the Arctic Ocean it is known from Baffins Bay to the New Siberian Islands, and has once been recorded from the west coast of North America (Puget Sound). Far ran, mainly on material collected by the International Investigations, has given a fairly exhaustive account of its distribution and the points of its biology. It is most often abundant in the Baltic, except in the Gulf of Bothnia, in the Belts, Kattegat, Skagerak, along the coast of Norway, in the English Channel, the Irish Sea and in coastal waters on the south and west coasts of Ireland. "In the North Sea south of 55° it is always present but usually scarce, sometimes abundant". In the north-west of Scotland, there is an indication of periodicity in its occurrence as well as of curious variation from year to year; it was common in August 1903, moderate in August 1904 and 1906, scarce in August 1907, and absent or almost absent in August 1905. In the Faeroe and the Fseroe-Iceland chan- nel the recorded distribution is somewhat irregular; during several years it has been found fairly common in May and August (in 1906 almost absent). "On the south and west coast of Iceland it is generally distributed in the open sea ten miles or more from shore, but it is usually rare, and often absent from the tow-nettings. In the coastal waters it may be found frequently, and often forms large shoals". On the north coast of Iceland it has been recorded by Paulsen. In the Norwegian Sea and southern Arctic Ocean between Jan Mayen and Iceland on the west and Norway on the east it is in any case sometimes common or abundant On the west coast of Greenland it has been recorded by Vanhoffen from Umanak Fjord (1897) and rather abundantly from the surface down to 240 m. adults as well as copepodites b>- Stephensen from Northern Stromfjord about 67°40 Lat. North (range of temperature 0° to 3-2^0.). From the east coast of Greenland it has been recorded by CI eve 74°i5 Lat N. i8'i5 Long. W. and by Koefoed, who has found specimens (1-42 to 17 mm. long) at 4 Stations between 78^09 and 77''35 Lat North, and i4°oi and i8°02 Long. West from the surface down to 65 met (Temperat. -M"0 =-i7°C.), which he thinks ought to be referred to Ps. clongahis rather than to Ps. gracilis. COPEPODA 65 As the Due d'Orleans is the expedition which has made the most systematic plancton-in- vestigations from different depths with measurements of saHnity and temperature, and as Koefoed and Dam as are the only ones, who have separated the three types, I think a more detailed survey of their material, should pay. Ps. major, which was first recorded by G. O. Sars north of the New Siberean Islands, was only taken a single time 78°o5 Lat. N. 5°2i Long. W. '^7 1905 between 800 and 1350 met. (salinity 34'95°/oo; temp. o-o8° — -^o•37° Cels.). Ps. clongatus was only taken near the coast of Spitzbergen (c. 80° Lat. North i4°33 Long. East) at 4 stations near the surface (Temp. 0-50— 2-50° C.) and at the mentioned stations near East Greenland. Ps. gracilis, which has previously been recorded by Sars at the coast of Finmarken and be- tween Finmarken and Baren Island "a ete capture entre 600 metres et la surface; il est particuliere- ment abondant au-dessus de 200 metres; d'apres les estimations faites par Koefoed, il parait nioins frequent le long de la cote gronlandaise qu' an large, mais il est tres frequent tant dans le Gulfstream que dans le courant polaire". The species is generally missing in hauls from 0—20 meters, but it has been found common here at a few station (c) independent of the time of the day and of the temperature (lying between -^ 170 and + 1-50). It has been found common at a depth between 480 and 600 metres, juniores between 800—1000 metres (p. 270), and abundant at temperatures from -^ 170 to + 3° C. The salinity, at which it is found common, varies from 30-60 °/oo to 34-90 %o- As set forth by Far ran the conditions at which this species can flourish are very varied. The salinity varies from 7-25 °/qo to 35-30 %o, the temperature from -f- 1-70° C. to 12-47° C, 't is found from the surface near the coast, where it is often left in tidal pools, as deep as 600 metres in the open ocean. About the details of its biology I refer to Farran, several interesting studies of Herd- maun from the Irish Channel but especially to Kraeeft, who in the Baltic and the North Sea has studied the growths and the occurrence at different depths of the various stages (juniores). He writes (1910 p. 79) "es zeigt sich deutlich dasz das III Stadium von Schicht zu Schicht, von Boden nach der Oberflache gerechnet in immer groszer werdenden Menge vorhanden ist"; he found that mature females (April 1906 in the Baltic) were present in 59-1 % between 75 and 30 metres, but only in 3-1 % between 5 and o metres. About the time of propagating I have in the literature only found that the Due d'Orleans has collected mature females and males (8/7 1905 8o°i3 Lat. N. 7=42 Long. East 400-500 metres, 0-23—0-80° C, and '5/8 1905 7i°22 Lat. N. i8°58 Long. East, 200—400 metres, 0-67—1-53° C). Remarks. It has previously been mentioned that no characters are found by which all spec- imens could be referred to one of the three types of Pseudocalaims viinuhis; in the same sample inter- mediary links are found not only between the extremities of the mature females but also between the copepodites of stage IV— V, in which however the difference between the types is less marked. The question how to explain marked differences in size and other characters found in the same sample under the same biological conditions, if they all belong to the same species, is too vexed to be ans- wered now. Specificness of the different types may perhaps be excluded by the examination of several hundreds of specimens at least, from samples with marked variation between the specimens, after G a 1 1 o n ' s statistical methods. The InjTolMIxpedition. III. 4. 9 66 COPEPODA Some of the differences are certainly congenital, but others are probably due to the fact that specimens, which later on are found under identical biological conditions, are born at different localities and have got a different start in life, before being carried by currents or other agencies to their present abode.

Most of the examined fnll-grown females agreed fairly well with Sars' descrip- tion of AI.pygvi(ri(s. The size of the specimens varied from 0-65 to 0-9 mm. In a single specimen (St. 8) the antennnlae scarcel)- reached the end of the first abdominal somite, and the terminal spine of the second pair of legs of this, as well as of other specimens, had indication of the serration which according to Sars forms the chief characteristic between M. pygvicrus and ptisiUus\ as the natatory limbs were broken in most of my specimens, I was unfortunately unable to examine this character in most .spec- imens (cf. pag. 68). According to Sars the rostrum is represented by two "extremely small tentacular filaments"; in my specimens, as in those examined by Mrazek and Kraeeft, these organs are rather thick and more like teeth. fc?. Size: i-i mm. The structure of the fifth pair of legs is very much like that figured by Sars (PI. I pes V c?), but in my specimen the division of the left leg into 3 basal segments is more indistinct. Y (St. V). The juniores (c? — $ Copep.

The male differs from the females by less prominent first abdominal somite and a fairly well developed fifth pair of legs (cf. Mrazek fig. 13). Y(St. IV): Size: ($) 0-65— 075; (c?) 0-65 — 0-9 mm. In this stage with only 3 abdominal somites are the same differences between males and females observed. Occurrence.

The above mentioned localities affirm the conclusion arrived at by Farran at the base of the records in the literature "that Chiridius annatns is a permanent inhabitant of the North- East Atlantic, the Norwegian Sea south of 65° N., the Norwegian Channel and the Skagerak, at depths of from 300 to 2000 metres, and is also indigenous to all the deeper Norwegian fjords." It has been taken by the Monaco Expedition; the records of this species from the west coast of Greenland and from the North Polar Basin refer, as shown by Sars, really to Cli. obfiisi/rons. According to Damas and Koefoed it has been taken at the following two stations by the Due d'Orleans. Viz: St. 14 9/^ 1905 8o°i7 L. N. 5°40 L. E. between 340 and 600 meters (f^ with ovisacs) and St. 23, "7/^ 77°25 L. N. 4°03 L. W. between 480 — 640 meters; as, however, nearly related species exist, which have probably been confounded with Ck. armafus now and then, these localities ought to be accepted with due reservation. COPEPODA 8i Remarks. In spite of the small differences enumerated in the description, I do not doubt that this species is identical with that described by Sars from Norwa}', and with that which Wolfenden has described under the name of Psaidaetiditis from the Faeroe channel. According to my investigations the size of the specimens varied from 3-6 to 4-4 mm., the biggest being those from northern regions; Farran's (1905) specimens measured 3-3— 3'5 mm., aud even 265; these small specimens possibly belong to another species. 17.

Size: Specimen from St. 167 2-88 mm.; anterior division 2-19 mm.; urosome 0-69. The shape of the body is in the main like that of the preceding species, but somewhat more slender (text-fig. 18 a). The insertion of the antennulae is apparently better removed from the tip and the rostral spines, which are somewhat longer '' '■ and basally swollen, and directed more forwards (text-figs 18 b—c). The anterior division is just three times as long as the abdomen. The genital somite (text-fig. 18 d), which has a receptaculum seminis like that of Ch. arviatus, is about 1-5 as long as the third and 17 as long as the fourth somite; the furcal rami are 17 as long as wide and 17 as long as the anal somite; the last segment is about half as long as the third one. The antennulae, which extend some- what beyond the end of cephalothorax, but scarcely to the end of the abdominal somite, have the segments 24 and 25 well defined ; the measurements differ only n ' a e in minor details, as the segment 20 is a little longer Text-fig. 18.

The appendages are like those of Chiridms armatus, but the Sp. of the segment 23 extends somewhat beyond the end of the segment 25. The antennae are like those of the preceding species, but the exopodite is 1-5 as long as the endopodite. The uiaiidibnlae and maxillae are scarcely different, and the maxillulae only by the smooth anterior surface of the third basipodite. In the viaxillipeds the third basipodite is 1-5 as long as the second, and 2-2 as long as the endopodite. The legs are only in minor points different from those of Ch. ar mains; the Se of Re I in the first pair of legs extends a little beyond the end of the second seg- ment, the articulation between the Re I and II of the second pair of legs is well developed anteriorly as well as posteriorly, and its terminal spine has 30—40 spinules (fig. 4 a). A curious difference is found between this species and Chiridius modestus as well as armatus in the arrangement of the glandular pores; in the number of the pores it is, as shown in fig. 4 a, like Ch. modes tus, as a single pore The Ingolf-Expciiition.

This species, which on account of its small size, the prominent rostrum, and the curious arrangement of the secretory pores is well distinguished fron; C/i. armatus, is certainly new to science, as in the literature I have only found a single reference to a species of the Ch. armatus type of a size of 2'65 mm. (viz. Far ran 1905 p. 34). 18. Chiridius modestus n. sp. (PI. II fig. 5; te.\t-figs 19 a — c). Description, f?. Size: Specimen from St. 183 measured 3-69 mm.; anterior division 270 mm., urosome 0-99. The rostral spines are longer and more prominent tlian in Cli. arinaius, but less so than in nastihis (text-fig. 19 b). The outline of the head is anteriorly not fairly rounded as in Ch. armafus, but distinctly produced (text-fig. 19 a). The frontal organ is prominent, and the distance between it and the base of the rostrum is short / and straight, not slightly concave as in the two other species. The cephalothorax, which is 2'5 times as long as wide, is scarcely 3 times as long as the uro.some. The genital somite, which has a receptaculum seminis of the usual structure, is about 1-3 times as long as the third somite, and 17 as long as the fourth (text-fig. 19 c); the furcal rami are i-6 as long as wide, and 1-4 as long as the anal somite, which is a little longer than the furca; the latter somite is scarcely half as long as the third one. The antejinulae, which extend somewhat beyond the end of the thorax, have the 24 — 25 segments almost fused. The ap- pendages and the measurements are scarcely different from those of Ch. nastitus. The antennae have the exopodite 1-4 as long as the endopodite; the Re I has, inwards, a conical process, but no seta, and the Re II has a medial and a terminal seta placed on a small protuberance, in addition to a basal protuberance without seta. The viandibulae and maxillae do not show an}- features of interest, and the iiiaxillulac only differ from those of Ch nasutus bj' slightly developed spinulation of the anterior surface of the Li 3. The third basipodite of the maxilUpeds is 1-4 as long as the second, and 2-4 as long as the endopodite; its 2 proximal setae are placed near to each other with the articular membranes confluent. The Se Re I in the first pair of legs extends distinctly beyond the end of the segment. In the second pair of legs Text-fig. 19. Chiridius modestus n. sp. a. Head in dorsal view X 16. b.

Sars' specimens measured 4-2 mm. and Vanhoffens 4-5 mm. b The shape of the body is as figured by Sars (cf. text-fig. 20 a). The articular membrane between the head and first thoracic tergite and between the fourth and fifth thoracic tergite (except in the middle) is often wanting; in the articular membrane be- tween the last thoracic and the first abdominal somite chitinous lists of a rather curious structure are found (text-fig. 20 c). According to most authors no rostrum is observed; in several specimens, ho- wever, the rostrum was represented by a very short spine, sometimes showing trace of bifurcation as a median line, when observed from beneath. The anterior division is 2"4 as long as wide, and 2'4 as long as the abdomen. The genital somite, which has a receptaculum seminis of a similar structure as in Ch. aniiatics, but more slender, is 1-2 as long Text-fig. 20. Chiridius obtusifrons G. O. Sars. a.

The posterior seta of the segment 23 scarcely extends to the tip of the segment 24. The antennae have the exopodite almost twice as long as the endopodite, and the third basipodite of the mandibiilac has the Si i shorter than figured by Giesbrecht (Taf. 14 fig. 17). The inaxillulae^ maxillae and the maxillipeds are scarcely different from those described by Giesbrecht; a small pointed process, placed behind the articular cavity of the maxillipeds, is better developed than in preceding species (text-fig. 20 a). The first pair of legs is like Sars' fig., but the Se Re I extends a little beyond the end of the Re II. In the second pair of legs (text-fig. 20 e) no trace of articulation was found between Ri I — II, neither anteriorly nor posteriorly; the articular membrane between Re I — II is anteriorly indicated by a faint line. Glandular pores are found at the base of the respective Se of Re I— III in the last three 'pair of legs; the articular membranes between the Re I — II in pes III — IV are scarcely better developed than in the second pair of legs, but the articulation between Ri I— II is marked not only by a lateral incision as drawn by Sars, but also by a faint line anteriorly (text-fig. 20 f). The structure of the labnivi is in most respects like that of Ch. artiiattcs; the most interest- ing differences are found at the oral surface viz: the wanting transverse row of spinules behind the median circular spot Nr. 3, and the lateral group of spinules anteriorly which is divided into a smaller anterior and a bigger posterior portion. The lamina labialis (fig. 2 a) consists posteriorly of a chitinous appa- ratus which is subdivided into a median and two lateral clumsy teeth, the posterior margin of which is somewhat striated; the lamina is gradually sloping anteriorly, and overlapped by the slightly concave posterior margin of an almost semicircular chitinous plate. In front of the lamina labialis we observe on the posterior wall of the pharyngeal cavity in the middle a smooth longitudinal area, and on each side of this a minutely granular area, as seen in fig. 2 a. Laterally a series of fairly slender setae, which are situated on a chitinous lists, apparently a continuation of that supporting the serrula 6-dentata, is found. Behind and medially, a longitudinal series of about 20 more slender setae; this series reaches only a little beyond the anterior limitation of the lamina labialis. The number of the serrulae behind the lamina is three, arranged as seen in fig. 2 a. The number of series of hairs behind the labial lobes etc. is in the main like that of Gaidius (of. fig. 7 f). The series lateral i se6ras to be wanting, series lat. 2 consists of about 30 short delicate hairs which are anteriorly placed in a single longitudinal row, and posteriorly in an irregular group; the series lat. 3 has posteriorly an oblique row of short hairs, on the medial side of which we find an area consisting of about 20 short bristles, and anteriorly one or two short rows, one of which is continued as a long row to the end of the labial lobe. The series lat. 4 is medially placed transversely with backwards directed convexity, as seen in fig. 2 a; laterally to this, and probably be- longing to it, a triangular group of densely placed hairs is found. The series lat. 5 is represented by a group of densely placed short hairs, which are placed in a triangular area, pointed in front. The connection between the two last series and the hairs on the lateral lobes was not made out. Y (Stage V). Size: Female from St. 154 measured 3-08 mm.; anterior division 2-3 mm.; uro- some 078 mm. COPEPODA 85 The shape of the body is in the main like that of tlie adult, but the articulation between the head and the first thoracic tergite was complete at least in a single specimen; a well marked fifth somite bearing the lateral spines was found. The abdominal somites are as usual four. The male differs from the females by the presence of a fifth pair of legs without any endopodite, corresponding to the structure in the adult males (PI. II fig. 2 b). Occurrence. The Ingolf Expedition has curiously enough not gathered any specimen of this species, but the Tlior has taken it at the following stations. "If, 04 St. 154 65°27 L.

Nansen's North Polar Expedition found this species rather abundantly from the surface down to a depth of 300 meters. By the S/S Michael Sars it has been taken twice in the open sea about midway between Iceland and Norway. According to Wolf en den this species occurs sparingly in the cold underwater of the Feeroe channel. By the Due d'Orleans this si^ecies was found at eleven stations, most often between 300 and 600 meters, as far north as 78° N., as far east as 5° L. E. and as far west as 16° E. W. In Eille Karajakfjord it was taken by Vanhoffen on the west coast of Greenland. Taking into consideration the new localities enumerated above, it seems right to regard the species as characteristic of the deeper layers of the Arctic seas. Remarks. The male which Wolfenden has described as C/i. rfl«//(?^"£'«/ is certainly identical with that discribed by G.O. Sars as CIi. obtiisifrons. The species, which A.Scott with doubt refers to this species, does certainly not belong to it, on account of its smaller size and more robust body, not taking into consideration the distribution. 20.

Farran's specimens measured 2-4 — 2.8 mm. 86 COPEPODA The shape of the body is like Farran's description; the anterior division is 2-9 as long as the abdomen; the furcal rami are 1-4 as long as wide (text-figs 21 a— b). The mitcnnulac differ from those of Ch. obhisifrois by the 20 segment, which is a little longer than the second, which is again longer than segments 8 c\j 9. The Si I of the third basipodite of the mandibulae is longer and thicker than that of CIi. obtusifrons, bnt shorter than that of Ch. Poppei. In the other mouth appendages scarcely any difference was ob- served. In the first pair of legs the Se Re I does not extend to the end of the segment. The segmentation of the legs is better developed than in CJi. obtusifrons^ as shown by Farran (text-figs 21 c— d). Occurrence. Though the Thor has only taken 3 f^ (of which one with spermatophor) ^/o 1905 St 72 57°57 L. N. 9°53 L. W. Yt 1500 M. Wire, I think that this species belongs to the fauna of the region explored by the Ingolf Expedition. Remarks. This species is according to Farran fairly common on the west coast of Ireland; its range was from 280 to 1000 fathoms. I think it is extremely doubtful whether the species which A. Scott refers to this species, from the Malayan Sea, really is identical with the Irish species. I think that Farran is right in regarding it as a species which forms a con- necting link between the much smaller Ch. Poppei and the much bigger Ch. obtusifrons^ of which the former is a distinct Arctic and tlie latter a Mediterranean form. As the females belonging to the Chiridius, as Giesbrecht defined it are very much alike, a thorough investigation of the differences between the existing species viz. those from the Siboga expedition, the thiee mentioned above and Ch.polaris Wolf. (p. 212), which is very nearly related to if not identical with Ch. gracilis, is needed. Text-fig. 21. Chiridius gracilis Farrau. a. Genital somite in dorsal view X 60. b. Furca X 60. c.

Description. i% vSize: Specimens from Thor St. 214 measured 3-8 mm.; anterior division 276 mm.; urosome 1-04. Other specimens measured 3-4 and 3-9. Sars' specimens measured 4-4 and Wolfen- den' s 3-54 mm. The shape of the body is like Sars' figure. The rostral spines (text-fig. 22a) are comparatively shorter, and in shape somewhat different from Sars' figure; the frontal organ is very prominent. The articular membrane is distinct not only dorsally, but also laterally between the head and the first thoracic somite. The lateral spines of the thorax (text-figs 22 b) scarcely reach the middle of the genital somite. The abdomen is in most specimens at least one third of the length of the cephalo- COPEPODA 87 thorax, but in others it is scarcely one third. The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the furcal rami are 32 — 24—18 — 11 — 16; the furcal rami are i-6 as long as wide. The receptacnla seniinis are in most specimens well developed, and of similar shape as in Ch. ohtiisifrons (text-figs 22 b— c). The mitcnnulac, which have the segment 24 and 25 well separated, reach about to the end of the third abdominal somite; the segment 2 is V2 as long as Scv^g, which is a little shorter than the segment 20; the segment 21 is about as long as 18, and the segment 23 is i-i as long as the 24. The appendages are like those of Ch. obhtsifrons, but a distinct "Aestetask" is found in segment 7; the posterior seta of segment 23 reaches distinctly beyond the end of segment 25. The antninac are like Sars' figure, with the Re 1-4 as long as the Ri; the setae of Re I— II are arranged as described in Ch. modest lis. The mandibulac are like Sars' figure. The maxillulac are in main features, especially in the number of setae, like Ch. ari>iafiis\ the iiiaxiUac are scarcely different from Sars' figure, but differ from those of mentioned species by a small dejDression in the middle of the exterior margin of the first basipodite, which seems to be connected with a wide chitinous sac. The third basipodite of the maxillipcds, is 1-5 as long as the first and second seg- ments and almost twice as long as the endopodite. In the first pair of legs the Se Re I extends distinctly beyond the end of Re II. The second pair of legs has the first basipodite greatly enlarged inwards; the articulation between Ri I — II is wanting anteriorly; glan- dular pores are present at the base of the Se in Re I — III; the St has 58 .spinules (in Sar's figure 35 only). The fourth pair of legs differs from that of the three first pairs by wanting marginal row exteriorly of the second basipodite; its structure is in most features like Sars' figure, and the St has about 60 spinules (text-fig. 22 d). The anterior surface of the labruin was like that of Ch. arma/iis, but differed by the wanting lateral irregular group of hairs in front of the transverse series. The oral surface has the hairs in the three first groups, especiall)' the third, somewhat differently arranged, as seen in fig. 6 a; the groups 4—5 are more irregular than in this species. The lamina labialis is, as seen in fig. 6 b, in most respects similar to that of CIi. aniiatns\ the inner longitudinal series in front of the lamina was not observed. The longitudinal series of hairs upon and behind the labial lobes are in most features, especially in series lateral IV — V, like those fully described in Ch. obiust/rons. Text-fig. 22.

This species was taken twice by S/S Michael Sars between Jan Mayen and Fin- marken at a depth of from 500 to 1000 metres. According to Koefoed and Da mas the si^ecies is found "a) dans la mer du Gronland: de 60 jnsqn' a 1800 metres an moins, b) dans la mer de Norvege: jamais observe a moins de 400 metres" (p. 409). By the Due d'Orleans it was gathered at 10 stations as far east as 2°4o L. E. at 79° L. N., and as far west as 15° L,. W. at 78° L. N. near the east coast of Greenland. The expedition has at the most northern station '^/^ 1905 taken adult males as well as females and young ones. According to Wolfenden his Facroella imdfiscrrafa "is not uncommon in the deep water of the Fseroe channel, and has been traced by the writer as far south as Valentia in Ireland" (p. 117). This species is, according to Farran, "occurring not uncommonly from 400 to 1000 fathoms" off the west coast of Ireland. Remarks. I do not doubt that the specimens which I have examined ought to be referred to Sars' species, in spite of the smaller size, the shorter rostral spines, the lateral spines which scarcely reach the middle of the genital somite, and the comparatively longer abdomen; from Wo 1 fen den's very imperfect description it differs by the well marked segmentation between the head and first thoracic tergite, by imperfect segmentation of Ri pes II, and by more coarsely spinulated terminal spines of the legs. Though Sars (cf. Farran p. 20) has accepted Wolfendens species as distinct from his own, and in spite of the different distribution, I am fairly convinced that they belong to the same species; the southern variety has sometimes comparatively few dentations in the St pes II (Farran has found 32 only). Further examination and comparison of the different forms are needed before the question can be solved. It is to be regretted that neither Wolfenden nor Damas & Koefoed, who have examined the males as well, have given any description of them. If Scott's figure of the antennulae of his A. rostrata Sars is correct, the Sp. of the segment 23 does not reach the end of the segment 24, and a new species ought to be established. Wolfenden has later on established 2 new species Facroella minor and aiitarctica (1911 p. 214); it is remarkable that this author does not accept Sars' name, 'which without doubt has the priority. Tliat the species are cogeneric does not seem to be doubtful ; whether the genus is quite natural is very doubtful. To solve this rather vexed question I have not sufficient material of the different genera. 22. Udinopsis armatus Vanhoffen. 1S95. Bradyanus armatus ii. sp. Vanhoffen, p. 322 1S97. — — Vanh.

This species is not identical with Bradyidius arviatns Giesbr. of Scott, Giesbrecht-Schmeil and Wolfenden. Stephensen has wrongly given Bradyidius armatus v. Bremen as partly .synonj'- mous with it.

Size: Specimen from Thor vSt. 70 measured 3-84 mm.; anterior division 2-94 mm.; urosome 0-90 mm. Two specimen.s from Thor St. 285 measured 2"6 -f- 0'62 = 3'22 mm. and 2^9 + o-8 = 37 mm.; specimens from Thor St. 183 measured 27+07 = 3-4 mm. Sars' specimens measured 3-8 and Wolf en den's 3-8(1904) aud3-25 (1911) mm. Van hof fen's specimens 3-9 and Farran's (1905)3-2 mm. The shape of the body is scarcely different from Sars' figure, and no trace of segmentation between the fourth and fifth thoracic somite was observed; the lateral spines of the thorax are distinctly set off, and extend almost to the end of the genital somite (text-fig. 23 a). The rostrum is not, as set forth by most authors, undivided, but shows as seen in fig. 2 a (PI. Ill) trace of bifurcation. The length of the abdomen, compared to that of the anterior divisioi:^ varies from about '/a to '/4- The genital somite, which as seen in fig. has a short and well marked receptaculum seminis, well distinguished from the stalked one in Chiridius^ is somewhat deeper and wider than long, and r6 as long as the third somite. Tlie furcal rami are i-6 as long as wide and a little wider than the anal somite is long. The antcnmilac reach to about the end of the third abdominal somite and have the measure- ments distinctly different from those of G. brevispimis on account of the shorter distal segments; the segment 2 is i-2 as long as 8039, which is almost 1-3 as long as segment 13 and only a little shorter than segment 20; the segments 19 and 22 are almost of equal length, and almost i-i shorter than segment 2. The appendages are like those described by Giesbrecht in Gaetanus ariiiiger with "Aesthetasken" in segments 3, 4 and 6 and Spr. in segment 13; the posterior seta of the segment 23 is ringed, and about three times as long as the segments 24 and 25, which are well separated. The antennae have the Re 1-3 as long as Ri; the Ri I is distinctly twice as long as Re II; this is about twice as long as Re I, and about twice as long as Re III— VI, and about -/j as long as Re VII. The Re II has the short Se 2 placed on a rather prominent process, (PI. Ill fig. 2 e), like that found in Giesbrecht's fig. 19 Taf. 14 of Gaetanus anniger^ and the Se 3 is somewhat longer. The mandibulac differ from Sars' figure by two slender Si of the third basipodite, and are in main features like those in Giesbrecht's G. aniiiger. The uiaxMulae are rather elongated, like Gies- brecht's figure of Gaetanus miles (Taf. 14 fig. 21); the Li I possesses on the anterior surface about 10 fairly strong teeth, and on the posterior surface near the base of S 11 about 10 similar ones; the L,i II has 4 setae, and the Li III 5 + a sensory lobe and anteriorly a fairly strong spinulation, the Basp. Ill The Ingolf-Expedilion. HI. 4. 12 go COPEPODA has 4 Sp and i Sa but no spinulation anteriorly; the Ri I has 3 Sa + i Spi the Ri II has 3 Sa -j- i Sp and the Ri III 5 S. The exopodite has 11 setae, and the Le has 7 long -f 2 shorter ones. The maxillae are very characteristic by the strongly and suddenly convex outer margin of the basipodite, with a short concavity in the middle (text-fig. 22 b) ; the lobe I possesses a quite rudimentary spinelike Sp. i and a Sp. 2, which it about twice as long as the lobe itself; the strong spine of lobe IV is somewhat longer but scarcely stronger than that of lobe V. The third basipodite of the jnaxillipeds is i-2 as long as Basp. I — II and three times as long as Ri; the exterior margin of the second basipodite has no trace of lamina, and its fourth lobe bears 3 hairs and a sensory process (fig. 2 c PI. III). The Jirst pair of legs has the articulation between Re I and II indicatad by a faint line anteriorly, and sometimes a small incision laterally; the Se Re I is wanting; the St has the usual Text-fig. 23.

Ill fig. 2 d). The articulation between Re I and II in pes II and Ri I and II is as shown in Sars' figure well developed; the St has 25 teeth. The fourth pair of legs has the Re III three times as long as wide and the St. has 25 teeth, partly armed with accessory ones; the first basipodite has the usual marginal hairs substituted for by 30—40 stiff thin lamellous bristles, which are placed in about 5 rows along the inner margin, and in 2 — 3 parallel ones on posterior surface, the more posteriorly the more distally placed. The arrangement and number of the glandular pores in pes I — IV are as in Cli. oblusij'rons. The lateral view of the labriiiii is like that of Chiridiiis^ but the different parts are less prominent. The oral surface of the labrum (PI. Ill fig. 2 e) is, as seen by comparing figures, distinctly different from Gaidiiis brcvispimts\ the five groups, as well as the sixth more transversely COPEPODA 91 placed one (not seen in fig.), are well separated ; the setae aronnd the median circnlar spot Nr. 4 are well developed. The lamina labiaUs is almost smooth, bnt in other respects scarcely different from fig. 7 f (PL II), and the area in front of it is most like fig. 5 e PI. III. The longitudinal lateral series of hairs placed behind the lamina labialis are in details somewhat different from those of G. brevispiniis] the 3 posterior groups of the third series are better separated, and without direct connection with the anterior part; the proximal and distal groups of the series V seem to be fused. fc?. Size of specimen from Thor St. 183 was 3-01 mm.; anterior division 2'3 mm., urosome 071. The shape of the body is scarcely different from Sars' fig. PI. VI (supplement). The rostrum is fairly long and shows, terminally, trace of bifurcation (PI. Ill figs. 2 f — g). The antcnmilac have the segments Scssg partly fused with 10, and the segments 12 and 13 with 14; the segments 20 and 21 and 24 and 25 are completely fused; the appendages are scarcely different from those of Aetidius arniatus (cf. Giesbrecht Taf. 14 fig. 15). The measurements differ from those of the female by the segment 22, which is i-i as long as segment 17 and 1-2 as long as segment 2. The structure of the anfeniiac is in most respects like that of the female, but the Si 2 of Re II is not placed on a small process. The manducatory portion of the mandibulac (cf. fig. i d) is even more thin-skinned than in G. brevtspimcs, but has rudimentary teeth; the third basipodite has no setae, and those of the exopodites and endopodites are better developed. The inaxilhilac differ from those of G. brevispimis (fig. i e) by a fairly long Li 2 with a number of rounded sensory organs. The maxillae (PI. Ill fig. 2 h) are small, thin-skinned organs, which in the main preserve their original shape; the exterior margin of the basipodite has no convexity; the inner surface possesses an indistinct number of short partly fused lobes, the setae of which are more or less transformed into thin-skinned more or less setiformed appendages with a swollen base; the Ri has a few setae of usual form. The two first segments of the maxillipeds possess only the fourth lobe. The Jirsl pair of Irgs has, as shown in fig. i g, the Se Re II represented by a minute seta, and the St. is as usual in the male almost straight (PI. Ill fig. 2i); the second to the fourth pairs of legs are scarcely different from those of the females, except by the smooth inner margin of the second basi- podite of the fourth pair of legs. The fifth pair of legs is on the right side in the main like Sars' figure; the Ri (PI. Ill fig. 2 1) is distally swollen and contains clear alveolar structures; the Re I (I ooH ?) has in most specimens a lateral protuberance, and shows trace of segmentation (fig. 2 m); the Re II has inwards a lamelli-form process which surrounds a shallow cup facing backwards and outwards (fig. 2 n, cf. fig. ij); the Re III is elongate and curved with a terminal hooked hairy process. The left leg (text-fig. 22 d) appears more slender than in Sars' figure; the Ri which shows a trace of segmentation is long and slender, distally somewhat enlarged and bearing a short hair; the Re 2 has inwards a hairy protuberance (fig. 2J), and the Re 3 is very elongate with a distal fairly long Se and a St. (fig. 2 k). Y (St. V). Size of female from St. 70 3-15 mm.; anterior division 2-51 mm., urosome 0-64. The shape of the body, except for the usual segmentation of the abdomen, is as in the female, the antennulae extend almost to the end of the abdomen. The mouth appendages are scarcely in any features of interest different from those of the female. The articulation between Ri I and II of pes II is less developed than in the female; the glandular pores were scarcely different. Along the 92 COPEPODA inner margin of the second basipodite of pes IV a few lamellous setae like those of the adult females were found in the young females, but in the males a few marginal hairs of usual structure were found. The fifth pair of legs in the males is as seen in fig. 8 a (PI. II) rather slender. Y$ (St. IV). Size: A single female from Thor St. 165 1905 measured 2-06 mm.; anterior di- vision 1-67; urosome 0-39 mm. The antennulae reached to base of furca; the shape of the body is in the main like that of the adult females, but the abdomen has as usual only three somites. The structure of the appendages was not examined in details. Parasites. In several adult females of this species curiously twisted bodies (text-figs 22 h— j) to the number of one or two were found, now on the right and now on the left side; they are by a delicate stalk fastened to the skin of the bod>- wall between the insertion of the maxillae and maxil- lulae; their content is finely granular. About their nature I do not at present wish to express any opinion. The\- were found in the following number of adult females from 5 stations viz. i from Ingolf St. 20, 25 from Thor St. 152 '^/^ 1904, 20 from Thor "je St. 153 and 4 from '"/^ 1904 St. 78. At St. 152 and 153 they was generally found together with the "para.sites" to be described. In a great number of adult females of this as well as of the following species elongate obovate bodies (text-figs 22 e— f) were observed; they are by a stalk and a terminal disc fastened to the chitin of the niaxillulae (in a specimen from Ingolf St. 19 f. inst. to a seta of L,e), but especially of the max- illae. These structures are of somewhat different shape in the various animals, with the tip more or less pointed; they consist of a transversely striated wall, which, in contrast to the stalk, is dissolved into a solution of potash and a content with vacuoles but without distinct nuclei in glycerin prepara- tions. The stalk is hollow and widened out towards the sac, which is here more or less pointed. These structures were sometimes found on the left sometimes on the right side to the number of one to four; they were found in the following number of specimens in one sample from Ingolf, and in II from Thor: viz: Ingolf St. 19 2 specimens; Thor St. 152 ('^/g 1904) 25 specimens, St. 153 (-% 1904) 20, St. 154 (^76 1904) 3, St. 78 (■% 1904) 8, St. 285 C/g 1904) 5, St. 214 ("/7 1904) I, -St. 183 ("/? 1904) 6, St. 104 (24/j 1904) 10, St. 164 (29/8 1905) I and St. 72 ("/e 1905) 3 specimens. It is rather curious to notice that the distribution of these "parasites", which in some features are not unlike spermatophors, is very irregular within the area; they were most common in Denmark Strait, and very scarce at the southern stations. At the station (Thor 9/^ 1904 St 70) at which the greatest num- ber of specimens of G. tetiuispiuus viz 890 f ? were collected, these structures were not observed. Occurrence.

The species has previously been recorded fairly common in the eastern part of the north polar basin crossed by Nan sen; specimens were found as far north as 85 Lat. N., and here near the surface; at the other stations they were found at considerable depth. From Spitsbergen it has been recorded by Mrazek. In the ocean lying between Spitzbergen and Greenland it was found fairly common from altogether 18 stations, scattered all over the area crossed by the Due d'Or- leaus as far north as 80° L. N. 2°47 L. E. ; its range was between 100 and 700 meters in depth. In the Norwegian Sea it was found a few times between Finmarken and Jan Mayeu between 500 and 1000 94 COPEPODA meters. From the west coast of Greenland it has been recorded from "Lille Karajakfjord" by Van- lioffen. It is, as seen from the above, fairly common in the Iceland-Fseroe channel between loo — o meters, and so it is in the Fseroe-Shetland channel ; its shallowest record here is accordiuo; to Far ran (191 1 p. 97) "from a haul of 100 — o meter in 143 meters of water from a station lying to the east of Shetland". It has as far sonth as 55° L. N. "several times been met with in small numbers in the deep water of the Atlantic slope off the south west coast of Ireland at depths of from 500 to 600 fathoms". The species has not been taken by the Monaco; the records from the Gauss and the Siboga Expeditions seem to be very doubtful, and shall presently be discussed. The Ingolf and the Thor's records of this species from Baffin Bay, Danmark Strait, the sea north of Iceland and the Atlantic south of Iceland as far south as 60 to 51° L. N. complete the picture of this species as a North Atlantic and arctic species from the intermedial layers. Remarks. That the described species is identical with Sars' G. tciiuispinus does not seem doubtful, in spite of the slightly bifurcate rostrum and the stiff broad bristles on the inner margin of the second basal segment of the fourth pair of legs, which were not mentioned by the author; the latter character was well described by Wolfenden for his species G. bor calls \ Wolfenden has later on identified his species with G. tenulsplnus, but has in the list of species, probably by a slip of the pen, given it the name G. pimgens Giesbr. Wolfenden has identified specimens from Caj) and the Antarctic ocean with the northern form; he has examined specimens from the northern as well as the southern regions without being able to find great differences; he may be right; but as the differences between the species are often so small, and as too few characters are generally used b)- the authors, I prefer to look forward to further in- vestigations, not the least on account of the different localities. It is on that account that I have given so full a description of this species. A Scott is certainly right in regarding his father's species Enchwtc Hcssll var. sltnlHs (1894 pp. 58 — 59 PI. VI figs 24 — 25) as being related to Gaidms\ but as its size is only 2"2 mm., as the terminal segment of the left pes V is somewhat swollen at the base and as it "wants the prominent rostrum of Euc. Hessef'' (his figure does not show any rostrum), I do not think his identification ought to be accepted. A.Scott identifies his G. si mills Th. Scott with G. piuigciis Gbt; in this he may possibly be right. He writes (p. 52). "I regard the form described by Sars as Galdlus tcttulsplnns ... to be identical with this species". His figures of the pes V and of the rostrum of the male, which are somewhat insufficient, do not support his view. 24. Gaidius brevispinus? G. O. Sars. (PI. II figs. 7 a — h; pi.

Size of specimen from Thor St. 183 4-05 mm.; anterior division 3-13 mm., iirosome 0-92 mm. Sars' specimens measured 4-8 mm., Wolfeiiden's specimens 4-65 mm. and Far- ran's specimens measured 3'9— 4*5. The shape of the body is practically as figured by Sars, except for the distinctly longer lateral spines of the thorax, which are directed downwards and backwards. The rostrum is not undivided as stated by Sars, but is, as shown in fig. 7 a (PI. 11), distinctly bifurcate terminally. On each side of the vulva a somewhat triangular plate was found, and a short receptaculum seminis was observed (fig. 7 b); the structure of the genital apparatus was rather complicated, but was not examined in the details; figs 7 b—c will give an impres- sion of its structure. The furcal rami are 1-4 as long as wide, and a little shorter than the anal somite. The antennulac do not reach to the end of the anal somite, but only somewhat beyond the end of the geni- tal somite. The segment 2 is 11 as long as 8059, which is scarcely I'l as long as segment 13, and i-2 shorter than segment 20; segment 19 is a little longer than 20 and 22 which are of almost equal length, and longer than segment 2. The appendages differ from those of G. tcnuupinus by the presence of a Sp. in segment 13.

The maxillae (fig. 7 d) have the exterior margin less strongly convex than the preceding species; the Sp. 2 of the first lobe is three times as long as the lobe itself, and the Sp. of lobe IV is stronger as well as longer than the corresponding Sp of lobe V. The viaxillipcs differs from those of the preceding species by a rounded lamelli-form protuberance on the exterior surface of the second basipodite (fig. i a). The articulation between the Re I— II of the Jirst pair 0/ legs is better developed than in G. tenuispirms (text-fig. 24 b), and so is the articulation between Ri I— II of the second pair of legs (text-fig. 24 c), the St. of pes II has only 19 teeth; along the inner margin of the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs distally and posteriorly one to two rows of broad stiff bristles were observed (fig. i c). The oral surface of the labnim has a well developed longitudinal series of hairs, which are, however, only indistinctly divided into the usual 5 groups as seen in fig. 7 f; group III is 96 COPEPODA fairly well marked, and group IV has in addition to the inner series a lateral one with 10 short hairs. The transverse series around the fourth pair of central spots is less prominent than in the preceding species. The lateral group of hairs is assymmetrical in one of the examined specimens. The granular lamina labialis with the area in front of it is shown in fig. 7 f. Behind the lamina labialis four partly fused groups of short spines are placed near the middle line. On the area labialis and the lobi labiales altogether 5 longitudinal series of hairs (PI. II fig. 'ji S' — Ss) arranged as shown in figure were found. i^. Size of specimen from St 183 Thor 1904 was 3-34 mm.; anterior division 2-53 mm.; uro- some 081 mm. Wo Ifen den's specimen measured 3-1 mm. The shape of the body is practically like that of preceding species, but for the shorter lateral spines (text-figs 24d— f). The antennulae extend almost to the end of the abdomen; the segment 22 is 1-4 as long as the segment 17, but in other respects they are scarcely different from those of pre- ceding species. The antennae are comparatively more clumsy, with comparatively shorter Re; the manducatory part of the mandibulae is comparatively more thin-skinned (PI. Ill fig. id), but in other respects the mandibulae are scarcely different. The viaxillulae (fig. 1 e) are fairly well devel- oped; the Le I has as usual 9 setae; the Li I does not possess any setae, but a number of short rounded sensory organs; the Li II which is quite rudimentary, and the Li III which has at least one real setae, possess similar organs. The third basipodite has at least 2 setae and the Ri I— III 3 + 3 -|- 6 setae. The Re has as usual 11 setae. The maxillae are scarcely different from those of pre- ceding species (cf. fig. 2 h). The maxillipeds (fig. i f) have the third basipodite 1-3 as long as the basipodites I — II and 2.5 as long as Ri; the basipodites I — II have a rudimentary Li I and a fairly well developed Li IV. The first pair of legs has the articulation of Re I well developed (fig. i g), but not only Se Re I but also Se Re II are completely wanting. The St. Re III of pes II has 37 teeth, and the inner margin of the second basipodite in the fourth pair of legs is smooth and has, as seen by comparing figs 7 g and 7 e another shape than in the female. The Jifth pair of legs (PI. Ill fig. i h) is very simi- lar to that of G. fenuispinus, but the basal segments are comparatively shorter, especially the third one of the right side. The left endopodite shows no trace of segmentation, and has no small terminal seta; the left Re III has, as shown in fig. i i, a rather characteristic structure. Y (Stage V). Size of female from St. 183 Thor 3-22 mm.; anterior division 2-53 nnn. ; uro- some 0'69 mm. The shape of the body, except for the structure of the abdomen, is scarcely different from that of the adult female. The antennulae extend distinctly to the end of the last abdominal somite; the Sp. of segment 23 is only 1-5 as long as the segments 24—25. Tlie maxillulae have only 10 setae in Re, the exterior margin of the basipodite of the maxillae is less distinctly convex, and the laminous process of the exterior surface of the second basipodite of the maxillpeds is less prominent, with a distal tooth. The pes II has the articulation between the Ri I— II slightly developed (text-fig. 241), and the mar- ginal hairs of the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs are in the male only fewer (about 10) than in the pes III, but not different; in the female, however, not only the number is smaller (17 against COPEPODA 97 32), but the hairs are stiffer, and the row is distally turning around margin posteriorly. The fifth pair of the legs (fig. 7 h) is in several respects different from that of G. fenuispimis (fig. 8 a). Parasites? "Sacshaped" structures, like those of preceding species in a similar position were found in a single female from Thor St. 152 and in 29 females from Thor St. 183. ■ Occurrence.

N. rather plentifully), once in the sea between Finmarken and Jan Mayen, but rather curiously not in any of the numerous samples brought home by the Due d'Orleans. From G. intcrnicdius Wolf, it differs by the less pointed lamina of the basipodite of the maxillipeds. 25. Gaetanus Kruppi? Giesbr. (PI. Ill figs 3 a— h; text-figs 25 a— o). April 1903?

Size: Specimen from Thor St. 104 measured 5.4 mm.; anterior division 4-2 mm., urosome 1-2 mm. Wolfe n den's specimens measured 5 nmi. The body, which appears moderately slender, is 27 as long as wide, and has a well developed frontal spine (text-fig. 25 a), which is directed forwards and slightly downwards, and smoothly continued into the dorsal outline of the body. The rostrum is short, and is terminally slightly bifurcate. The COPEPODA 99 lateral spines of the fifth thoracic tergite (text-fig. 25 b) are suddenly set off, slightly divergent and reach the middle of the genital somite. The anterior division is 3-5 as long as the urosome, which has the 4 somites and the furca of the following relative length viz. 46, 23, 19, 15 and 21; the furcal rami are about rz as long as wide. The genital area is similar to that of Gaidius (text-fig. 25 b). The antcnnulae., which extend somewhat beyond the end of the abdomen, have the segments 24 — 25 almost completely fused and the appendages like those of Gaidius tcmiispimis and Gaetanus armiger; the Sp. segm. 23 is at least twice as long as segments 24 — 25. The segments 2, 8 o^ 9 and 20 are of about equal length and about i-i shorter than segment 19. The antennae differ from those of Gaetanus armiger (cf. Giesbrecht p. 221) by the Re II, which is distinctly twice as long as Re I, and has not only the second but also the third Se placed on a conical protuberance. The mandibulae differ from G. armiger by the fairly long plumous Si i of the third basipodite and the short Se 2 with a few branches. The maxillulae and maxillae are scarcely different from those of G. armiger (text-fig. 25 i). The third basipodite of the maxillipes is 1-3 as long as the two first segments and 3 times as long as the endopodite; the second basipodite has almost in the middle anteriorly on the exterior surface a laminous process with a concavity turning forwards; its tip is somewhat produced and rounded, and proximally to it a more or less distinct tooth is found (text-figs 25 k and j). The fourth L,i of the hasp. II has in addition to the usual sensory lobe and two hairs a small conical process repre- senting the third hair. The pes I has the articular line between Re I and II distinct anteriorly, except near the inner margin; posteriorly only a faint line was observed; the pes II has the vSt, which has 25 well separated teeth, distinctly longer than the Re III, in length almost equal to Re I— II. The hasp. II of the fourth pair of legs (fig. 3 a) has about 25—30 stiff triangularly pointed marginal bristles, in the main placed on the posterior surface. The number of secretory pores is completely like that of Gai- dius^ with a pore at the base of vSe Re I in pes II. The oral surface of the labnim is in most respects like that of G. lati/ro?is (cf. fig. sd); the bristles in group 3 — 5 are more like spines; the transverse rows of hairs between the circular spots of group IV, as seen in fig. 3 b, are more like Gaidius tenuispinus. The lateral outline of the labrum is very much like that of G. brevispinus, with three small elevations; no setae were observed on the anterior surface in front of marginal row. The lamina labialis (fig. 3 c) is smooth and of another shape than in G. latifrons, but in other respects, except for a somewhat different arrangement of the serrulae behind the lamina, the labial appendages etc. are similar to those of G. latifrons. As most specimens are very pellucid the intestinal tract, especially the black hindmost portion is generally quite distinct. It shows a characteristic structure with a large somewhat pointed coecal sac directed towards the frontal spine, a small dorsal one opposite the wide oesophagus, and behind the latter a gentle concavity, in which the oviducts with big eggs are placed (text-fig. 25 h). c?. Size of specimen from Thor St. 183 (?) was 5-04 mm.; anterior division 4 mm., urosome 1-04. Wolfenden's specimen measured 4-65 mm. The shape of the body is more slender; the anterior division is 3 times as long as wide and almost 4 times as long as the urosome. The bifurcate rostrum is shorter and more clumsy 13* lOo COPEPODA than in the female; dorsally to the frontal organ the outline is first bulked; above this a concavit)-, and beneath the frontal spine another preeminence adorned with about lo transversely placed chitinous lines, laterally somewhat convergent, are found. The comparative length of the first four abdominal somites and the furca is 15, 34, 23, 23 and 14; the anal somite is, seen from above, almost completely covered, and the furcal ramus is only a little longer than wide. The atitcufitilae (text-fig. 25 g) extend about to the end of the second abdominal somite, but not as in the female beyond the end of the abdomen. The segmentation from segm. 8—14 is difficult to make out, partly because the articular membranes are rather indistinct and partly because a number of faint transverse lines were seen between the real membranes ; it seems, however, that only the segm. 12 and 13 are really fused; the segments 20 and 21 are completely, and 24 — 25 only partly fused. The number of "^stetasken" is like Giesbrecht's description oi Actidius (Taf. 14 fig. 13), but the segments 8i>Jg possess 4. The segments 11 — 13 bear two setae each, of which the proximal is the longer, and is inserted in a small protuberance; the Sd of segments 14, 15, 16 and 17 are placed on small protuberances. The posterior seta of segm. 23 extends .somewhat beyond the middle of segment 24. In the Re II of the antennae no setae were observed. The mandibulae possess a large but soft manducatory part without distinct teeth but with a short Sdi; the Basp. 2 has an ovoid minutely granular area, and the third one as well as Ri I has no setae; the setae of the Ri and Re are better developed than in the female. The maxillulae are in main features like those of G. brevispinus (fig. i e) but the Basp. Ill seems only to have a single delicate seta, and the Re only 10 setae. The inaxillac and niaxillipeds are scarcely different from those of Gaidhis. The pes I is more slender than in the female; the articular line between Re I — II is wanting posteriorly; the Se Re II is represented by a very short delicate bristle; the glandular pore in the outer margin of Re III, which is only indicated in the female, is well developed. The inner margin of the second basipodite was found smooth not only in the fourth, but also in the third pair of legs. The fifth pair of legs (PI. Ill figs 3 d — f) is in main features like that of Gaidius, but is as a whole distinctly more slender. The right endopodite, which is half as long as Re I and distally and posteriorly has a short tooth, is distally inflated and spoon-.shaped; the Re II has the anterior process which encloses the bowel-shaped cavity shorter and more prominent (fig. 3 f). The endopodite of the left legs is almost ^/^ of the length of the Re I; it is indistinctly divided into 3 segments, of which the second is the shortest, and has no terminal seta. Inwards, at the base of Re III, a small process bearing 4 short hairs is found. Y (Stage V). Size: female from Thor St. 183 (?) 4-0 mm. ; anterior division 3-2; urosonie o-8 nun. Farran's 3'oung male measured 4-3 mm. The relative length of the four abdominal somites and the furca is: 19, 21, 18, 19 and 17; the furcal rami are 1-3 as long as wide. The antennulac are distinctly longer than in the adult, and the measurements are slightly different. The maxillulae have, in contrast to the female, only 10 setae in the Re, and the lob. IV of the second basipodite of the niaxillipeds bears 3 setae as in the male, in addition to the sensory lobe. The articulation between Re I and II in the first j^air of legs is only indicated anteriorly as a faint line; the St. of the Re III in the second pair of legs has only 20 teeth, the setae along the inner margin of the basipodite of the fourth pair of legs are rather stiff. The COPEPODA loi male differs from the female by the presence of a fifth pair of legs which as shown in text-fig. 25 n, is like that of Gaidius. Y (St. IV). Size of male from Thor St. 165 was 3-29 mm.; anterior division 2-6; nrosome 0-69 mm. The body is comparatively slender, a distinct limitation between the head and the first thoracic tergite is observed, the somites IV and V are as in other stages fused with well marked lateral spines. The relative length of the abdominal somites and the furca is 11, 17, 19 and 13; the furcal rami are 1-4 as long as wide. The antennulae extend about 3 segments beyond the end of the abdomen. Tlie maxilhtlae differ as usual by the 9 setae of Re, but the Basp. Ill has only 3 Sa + i Sp, and the Ri I — II each 2 Sa + i Sp; the laminous process of the maxillipeds has a slightly different shape with- out terminal tooth (text-fig. 25 1). The pes I has Re II— III fused, but Se Re II is present; the fourth pair of legs (fig. 3 g) has like the two preceding pairs, the Re IltviIII fused, with 3 Se and 16 teeth in the terminal seta; the secretory pore corresponding to the Se Re II is missing. The only difference between the 2 sexes is found in the presence of a fifth pair of legs of the usual rudimentary type in the male (text-fig. 25 o). Y (St. III). Size of specimen Thor vSt. 167 2-48 mm.; anterior division 2-07 mm.; nrosome 0-41. The shape of the body is distinctly more slender, and so is the frontal spine; the rostrum is blunt; the head is as in preceding stage well separated from the first thoracic somite, but also the fourth from the fifth one, which has no lateral spines. The relative length between the two ab- dominal somites and the furca, which is 1-4 as long as wide, is 12, 20 and 11. l^\i^ antennulae extend 4 segments beyond the tip of the abdomen; the segments 2 — 3 and 4 — 5 seem to be fused, and the measurements are in several respect rather different; it is curious that the segment 25, which is well separated from the preceding one, is not only relatively but also absolutely longer than in any of the preceding stages (it is shortest in the f$). The maxilhtlae are like those of preceding stage, but differ by 8 setae in the Re and by the Li I, in which one of the posterior setae is wanting (only 3 present), and one of the anterior ones (S 5) is represented by a short spine. The other mouth appendages, except the maxillipeds which have the the laminous process rounded, are in main features like those of preceding stages (text-fig. m). The pes II, which like pes III — IV have the Ri unsegmented, has a fairly distinct limitation between Re I and Re II — III, and is in main features like fig. t^^^ the pes III differs from II by less distinct limitation between Re I and Re II ^ III, but the latter segment has only 2 Se; the pes IV is again more reduced, as seen in fig. 3 h, as all the segments are completely fused, and as only a single secretory pore was found. Variation etc. A single specimen from Thor St. 152 showed a rather curious shape of the dorsal outline behind the frontal spine; as the species was in all other respects like the rest, the structure ought perhaps to be regarded as a kind of deformity (text-fig. 25 f). "Sacshaped structures" like those described in G. tenuispimis are found in several specimens, mostly adult females, but also in young ones of the penultimate stage; the following number of "para- sites" were found in samples from the following 6 stations of Thor viz. '9/6 1904 St. 152 7 parasites in I02 COPEPODA f$ and I in yj", "/y 1904 St. 183 2 par. in f$ and vc?, 79 1905 St. 167 13 in f$ and 2 in y^, 9/5 1505 St. 72 15 in f$, and 14 in y^, ^9/3 1905 St. 165 i in f$ and 22/5 1^04 St. 99 i parasite in f$.

Knippi G'leshr. differs from my specimens by the much smaller size ($: 3'6~4 mm.; d": 37 mm.), and on that account I am not quite sure that they are iden- tical. I have on that account at a earlier date preferred the name G. major Wolf., and this name is printed on Plate III. But as the description of G. Kruppi was published a few months previous to that of G. major (as stated by A. Scott), and as Wolfenden not only in his original description (1903 p. 114) says "the lamellar appendage of the posterior foot-jaw is absent", but reiterates the same state- ment as late as 191 1 (p. 231), well aware of the importance of this character, I feel obliged to accept the name G. Kruppi at present. As Wolfenden has identified drawings of specimens from the west coast of Ireland which were submitted to him by Farran as belonging to G. major^ and as Farran (1908), about the species which he names G. major Wolf., writes "G^. Kruppi appears to be at COPEPODA 103 most a rather smaller Mediterranean variety of this species", it seems probable that Farran's spec- imens belong to the species described above. The female of which A. Scott in the Siboga Expe- dition has given figures and has identified with G. Krnppi\ is possibly identical with this species (Size 57 mm.; lobe IV maxillipeds with 3 setae and frontal sj^ine rather short), but the male is scarcely so on account of the different shape of Re dextr. pes V. Scott regards Esterly's G. brcvicornis (1906 p. 56—57) as identical with G. Kruppi^ though the lamella of the maxillipeds has quite another shape, and his G. clams (pp. 57—58) as the male of this species ; in the latter supposition he is possibly right, but it is in any case different from the male from the Atlantic. If G. Kntppi and major of the different authors are identical, its distribution is wide (Indian Ocean, South and North Atlantic and the Mediterranean); if only the localities which certainly belong to the species described here are taken into consideration its range encompasses the North East Atlantic as far south as 50° L,. N. and as far north as 65° L. N.; it is distributed as far west as Denmark Strait (L. W. 28°), and as far east as the Fseroe-Iceland channel (I^. W. 4°). All records show that it is a deep sea species. 26. Gaetanus minor Farran. (PI. Ill fig. 4a). 1905. Gaetanus minor n. sp. Farran, p. 34, pi. V figs 1 — ii. igo6. — — Farran.

The short rostrum is undivided. The anterior division is 4-3 as long as the urosome. The lateral spines reach the end of the genital somite (fig. 4 a). The genital somite is rather swollen below, with a distinct receptaculum seminis. The caudal rami are almost as long as wide. The relative length of the abdominal somites and the furca is 20, 9, 8, 8 and 7. The antennulae reach just beyond the end of the genital somite; the measurements are prac- tically as given by Farran, and the appendages are as in preceding species. The Re of the antennae is scarcely 1-4 as long as Ri; the Ri I is twice as long as Re II, which is again 2-6 as long as Re I, and 1-6 shorter than Re III. The Re II has the short Se 2 placed on a conical protuberance, but has none for the more slender Se 3. The maxillulae differ from those of G. Kruppi by the 2 spinelike Sp. of the Li 2. The third basipodite of the maxillipeds is ri as long as the 2 first, and 27 as long as the Ri; the second basipodite has, as stated by Wolfenden, a rounded lamellous process, and the lobe IV has as usual 3 setae + a sensory lobe; the third basipodite has in a similar way as in G. miles Giesbr. (cf. Taf. 14 fig. 24) the inner margin produced into a rounded process which slopes most gradually towards the base, and here bears the usual row of teeth. This process is distinct but nnich lower in G. Kruppi, and is only indicated in Gaidiiis. The terminal seta in the exopodite of pes II, which has 14 well separated teeth, is ri as long as the Re I— II. The second basipodite in the fourth pair of legs has 12 stiff pointed bristles I04 COPEPODA of the usual structure. The secretory pore at the base of Se Re I is wanting in pes II, present in III -IV. Occurrence. The Thor has gathered a single adult female 2°/,, 1904 St. 88 48°og L. N. 8°30 L. W. Yt 300 M. Wire. This species has been recorded from the west coast of Ireland from a depth of about 400 fathoms, from the middle of the South Atlantic between 5° L,. N. and 30' L. S. and from the Malay Archipelagos. Though Far ran does not mention the process of the Re II of the antennae nor the lamellous process of the maxillipeds, I do not doubt that the described species is identical with his G. minor] the mentioned features are found in Wolf end en's species, which he somewhat prematurely proposed to name G. minimus, if it should turn out to be another species than G. viiiior\ the only difference between Wolfendens specimens and mine is the somewhat shorter antennulae, which do not extend beyond the end of the genital somite, and the smaller size (175 — 2 mm.). Between my specimen and Scott's description of specimens from the Siboga Expedition no difference except the shorter antennules of the females from the Siboga Expedition was found. 27.

The frontal spine has, as seen in (text-fig. 26 a) and as described by the authors, a very charac- teristic shape; the frontal organ is rather indistinct; the rostrum, which is very short, is in some spec- imens undivided, in others terminally slightly bifurcate. The fourth and fifth thoracic somites show dorsally trace of segmentation. The lateral spines are rather suddenly produced, slightly divergent, and almost reach the end of the genital somite. The anterior division is distinctly 4 times as long as the urosome, the genital somite is distinctly produced below, and the structure of the receptaculum etc. is in lateral view like that of G. lati/rons (cf. fig. 5 b). The relative length of the abdominal somites and the caudal rami, which are almost as long as wide, is 42, 23, 19, 19 and 20. The antennulae extend 6—7 segments beyond the end of the abdomen. The measurements provide some similarity to Gaetanus miles, but differ especially by the more slender distal segments; the segment 19, which is the longest segment, is twice as long as segment 2, 17 as long as segments 8<>i9 and 1-2 as long as segment 22; the segment 19 is 23 as long as segment 24. In the antennae the Re is only i-i as long as Ri, and the Ri I is 2-5 as long as Re II, which only possesses a terminal seta, and is only a trifle shorter than the Re VII. The inaxillulae possess no spinules on the posterior COPEPODA 105 surface of Li i, but has about 14 fairly stroug spinules on the anterior surface of Li III. The third basipodite of the maxiUipeds is i-i as long as the two first ones and 28 as long as the Ri; the exterior margin of the second basipodite bears a fairly slender rounded lamella (text-fig. 26 d) and the fourth lobe is divided most distinctly by a deep cleft into a posterior • '' smooth division and an anterior one, which possesses 3 setae in addition to the sensory lobe. The Re I— II of the first pair of legs are completely fused with the exception of a small lateral incision. The ter- minal seta of the second pair of legs has 19 teeth, and is dis- tinctly longer than the Re III. The second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs has 20 lamellous bristles. The secre- tory pore of Re I is wanting in pes II, present in III — IV. The labritm is anteriorly scarcely different from that of the preceding species; orally it is as seen in fig. 6 a in main features like G. ICntfipi (V\. Ill fig. 2e); the longitudinal series has in most groups two or more rows of hairs. The transverse groups of short hairs around the median circular spot Nr. 4 are on each side dissolved into a somewhat triangular group as seen in fig. 6 a, and somewhat behind it a transverse area of short spines or granules is found. The laiiiiiia lahmlis is like that of fig. 5 e but is almost smooth; in front of this we have the usual two lateral series of slender spines, of which the more lateral is almost semi- circular, while the median one is very short. In front, by a smooth area separated from the lamina, a wide area covered with flat granules and almost fused with the corresponding part of the other side is found. The 4 transverse groups of densely placed short spines behind the lamina are like those of G. Kncppt {i\g. 3 c). The lateral longitudinal series shows the following structure: Sen N r. I consists of 10 short hairs in a transverse group and of 30 in a longitudinal group, continued upon the lobus labialis and partly confluent with the series Nr. 2, which has 20 slender hairs placed longitudinally. The series Nr. 3 has two groups behind, of which the more lateral is more posterior (in contrast to fig. jf PI. II), and a longitudinal row which on the posterior surface of the lobus labialis is continued to near the tip. The series Nr. 4 is posteriorly placed almost transversely, forming a convexity, turning backwards and almost reaching corresponding part of opposite side, and is anteriorly continued to tip of the lobus labialis. The series Nr. 5 consists of a median transverse group of about 30 longer and shorter setae placed near the middle, and a more lateral partly longitudinal group; this group is not continued directly into any series on the labial lobe, but probably corresponds to the most medial one which is dissolved into independent groups. Possibly the series 5 corresponds also to the longitu- The Ingolf-Expedition. III. 4. ^ Text-fig. 26. Gactanus pileatus Farr. a. f9. Head X i8. b. f9.

Size of female from Thor St. 82 was 574, anterior division 4-2 mm., urosome 0-87. The relative length of the abdominal somites and the fnrcal rami, which are about i-2 as long as wide, is 20, 23, 18, 20 and 17. The appendages show similar differences from those in the adult as G. Kruppi] the lamina of the second basipodite of the maxillipeds is shorter and more rounded (text-fig. 26 d); but the inner margin of basip. II pes IV is smooth; the fifth pair of legs is in main features like those of G. Kritppi (text-fig. 26 e). In contrast to Canu's description of a young male of G. caudaiii the Re I — II of pes I are completely fused without Se Re I. Y ^ (St. IV). Size of a male from Thor St. 82 was 372 mm., anterior division 3-01 mm., urosome 071 mm.; a female measured 3-5 mm. The relative length of the abdominal somites and furca was 19, 18, 24 and 13. The anten- nulae extend at least 8 segments beyond the end of the abdomen; the differences in the other appen- dages are scarcely different from those described in Gactanus Kriippi. Parasites and Abnormity. Sac-shaped parasites like those described in G. tenuispinns were found in one specimen from Thor St. 78 and 99, in 5 from Thor St 183, in 28 adult females from Thor St. 82 (Yt. 1200 M. W.) and in 60 from St. 72. In a single adult female the setae of the right caudal ramus was branched (text-fig. 26 b). Occurrence.

This species has been recorded from the Mediterranean, and from the Atlantic as far north as 55° L. N. 10° L. W. ; it has been taken by the Monaco and by the Gauss Expeditions in the Mid and South Atlantic; by the Gauss it has been taken at 45 L. S. 35 L. E. south of the Cape. It was not taken by the Siboga, but Esterly records it from the CaHfornian Bay, and based on some- what too small material he draws the following conclusion (191 2 p. 311) "evidently, the species moves upwards at night if the numbers taken then as compared with those during the day can be taken as representative of the whole population". I think we are right in regarding this species as in the main an Atlantic one, which frequents the intermedial strata, but occasionally is found from the surface down to a depth of about 1000 meters. Remarks. The described species is certainly identical with that described by Giesbrecht, in spite of the larger size, the wanting seta of Le 2 of maxillulae and the structure of the spines in the Basp. II pes IV. The male, which CI eve refers to this species, is possibly identical with mine; his des- cription is too incomplete to settle the question at present. I think that Giesbrecht is right in refer- ring the small Atlantic specimens of E. Hessii Brady to this species, the bigger ones may perhaps be identical with E. rostroniagna Wolf. Ii8 COPEPODA 32.

Size: Specimen from Thor St. 88 4-26 mm.; anterior division measured 3-61 mm.; urosome 0-65 mm. Gie'sbrech t's specimen measured 3-5, Farran's 43 — 4-8. The head has a prominent rounded frontal keel (PI. IV fig. 3a); the frontal organ is fairly pro- minent at the base of a low prolongation downwards from the keel; the rostrum, which is only visible from beneath, is short and undivided, but sometimes asymmetrical with an accessory tooth on the right side. The articular membrane between the head and the first thoracic tergite is indicated in some spec- imens, but is completely wanting in others. The posterior margin of the first to fourth tergites is strongly chitinized, and falls on each side naturally into a lateral and two median divisions; behind the hinder margin of the fourth tergite and partly covered by it, the fifth thoracic tergite, hollowed like a gutter, is found. The cephalosome is about 6-5 as long as the abdomen. The genital somite is distinctly produced below, and has, on each side of the vulva, a lateral projection, generally visible from the side; along the hinder margin of this somite is a marginal seam. The antennulac almost reach to the end of the genital somite, the appendages are a.s in E. messinensis. but the measurements are distinctly different, as the distal segments are comparatively shorter; the 80^9 segments, f. inst, are about as long as seg- ment 15, not much shorter. The antenna is in its main features like Giesbrecht's fig. 3 Taf. 15, but a distinct articulation is found between Re I and Re II. The maxillulae stand as pointed out by Gies- brecht, between E. rostrata and messinensis; the Le i has 9 setae, but the Li i has, as in messinensis, only 3 posterior setae, and the Li 2 4 strong setae; the Li 3 and basipodite 3 are also like this species, but the Ri has 3 setae only. The maxillipes has, exteriorly, near the tip of the anterior surface of the second basipodite, as mentioned by Giesbrecht, a characteristic knob-formed process. The margin between Se i — 2 of Re I ^ II in the /frj/ fair of legs is only slightly concave, with a minute pore. The /rj // (text-fig. 29 a), which has 26 teeth in the St., has a well developed first Se in Ri, and the same number of secretory pores as in the preceding species. The (^cs III has a distinct accessory tooth at the base of Se Ri I ; the glandular pore in Re I seems to be wanting (text-fig. 29 b). The number of spines interiorly on the posterior surface of basipodite II in pes IV varies from 7 to 13, and is most often different on the two sides; the accessory tooth of Se Ri I is smaller; the secretory pore in the Re I is sometimes indicated. The anterior surface of the la brum is like that of E.jostrata. The chitinous system which supports the oral surface of the labrum attains a characteristic development, as seen in fig. 3 c, as the anterior bars are directed towards the middle, almost touching each other, and almost encircling the median circular spot Nr. 3. The groups of setae in the longitudinal series show a characteristic ar- rangement: the first groxip consists of an area covered with about 30 short strong spines; the COPEPODA 119 second group is represented by a longitudinal row of about 20 minute spines; the third group (cf. PI. IV fig. 3 c) consists of 5 fairly long and slender setae placed more forwards, and lateral, and of 2—3 placed more inwards and backwards; the fourth group, which consists of 20—25 fairly strong setae, has a characteristic shape, as it is convex, and has its right and left parts converging towards the middle, and almost touching each other in front; the fifth grotip is a continuation backwards of the fourth, and consists of about 30 more delicate setae. Behind this group an oblique, almost transverse row of short "spines" is observed. Behind the central spot Nr. 3 no transverse row of setae is ob- served, but behind Nr. 4, which is single, two transverse rows of rather delicate setae are observed. The lamina labialis (fig. 3 d), which is distinctly granular, is indistinctly divided into three parts. In front of it, in the middle, is a longitudinal row of short spines on each side, followed by the two areas of acicules, forming a curvature corresponding to the outer row of setae (cf. fig. i c); the latter is single behind, double in front, as a lateral row of shorter setae is found. The arrangement of the spinous areas behind the lamina as well as of the series of hairs on the labial lobes is seen in figs 3 d — e. The intestinal tract is almost straight, with a short restriction between the anterior and posterior divisions, and with a slender coecal sac in front. fc?. Size of male from Thor St. 88 373 mm.; anterior di- vision 2-92 mm.; urosomeo-8i mm. The head has a distinct frontal keel (fig. 3f), somewhat longer and lower than in the female; the body is rather elongate, and attenuated in front as well as behind. The head and the first thoracic tergite are completely fused; the articular membranes between the thoracic tergites are like those of the females. The anterior division is 3-5 as long as the urosome; the genital pore is found on the left side of the first abdominal somite; the furcal rami are short, rounded, and about as long as wide; their St. 2 is a little longer than the abdomen, and almost twice as long as the Si. The antennulae extend a little beyond the end of the cephalothorax; the segments 2 and 3, 4 to 7, 8^9 and 10 as well as 11 to 14 are more or les fused; the segments 20—21 are completely fused on the right side, well separated on the left side. The appendages are Scarcely different from those of E. messinensis; they are as a whole more soft-skinned than in the female, and the Sp. of segment 23 is much shorter than that of segment 24. The segment 2 is almost i-i as long as segment 17, which in length is equal to 15, 16 and 19, and about it as long as segments 8<>J9. Segment 20 is on the left side about as long as 80^9, but 20 II and about twice as long as Ri, somewhat sinuated; the Ri II has only 3 setae. The Jirst pair of legs (fig. 4 b) has a small pore in the almost straight margin of Re II, and a very indistinct one placed near the base on the outer margin of Re III. The Se of Ri I (fig. 4 c) of the undivided endopodite in the second pair of legs is poorly developed, as seen in fig. 4 c, and the Se of Re II extends slightly beyond base 01 Se i Re III. The accessory tooth of Se Ri I is only in- dicated in the third pair of legs (fig. 4 d). The fourth pair of legs has on the posterior surface of the second basipodite in the type specimen on the left side a single straight, fairly strong spine, which almost extends to the base of the third basipodite, and on the right side is substituted for by 3 more slender spines (fig. 4 e); in another specimen the spine was wanting on the right side; in a third specimen a single spine was observed on the left side, while none was observed on the right side (perhaps broken?); in two specimens a single spine was observed on both sides, and in a single one a spine on the left and one on the right side. The number of glandular pores is like that of E. messincnsis with a pore in Re I of pes III — IV. 17* 132 COPEPODA The main difference between E. viessi?ie7isis and this species, found in the structure of the labruni, is observed in the 2 first groups of the oral surface (fig. g e), which are fused to a single group consisting of numerous short spinules. The lamina labialis (fig. gf) is distinctly granular; the arrangement of setae in front of the lamina as well as of the spinulous areas behind it is in the main like that of E. messi- ncnsis. The development of the series of setae behind and upon the labial lobes is, as seen by com- paring figs 9 g and 5 g (PI. IV), most like that of E. maxima. Y^ (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 88 was 4-66 mm. ; anterior division 3-85 mm.; urosome o-8i. A male from the same sample measured 4-99 mm. The shape of the body is as in the adult female; tlie antennulae extend slightly beyond the end of the abdomen. The antennae are in the joung female, .scarcely different from those of the adult female but in the young male the exopodite is twice as long as the endopodite, which is niucli more powerful and has 7 setae in Li. The second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs has in the middle on the inner margin 3 rather short and stiff hairs, while the margin is smooth in the male. The fi/tJt pair of legs in the male is very much like that of E. mcssincnsis (cf. text-fig. 34), but the Re dext. is more regularly rounded, and does not possess any terminal hair. Occurrence. The Thor has gathered the species in four samples; the first locality is not quite certain, owing to a mistake. V9 1904 St 285 62°49 L. N. i8°46 L. W. Yt. ? Wire i f ?.

Remarks.

Scott's 3-5— 4-5 mm. COPEPODA ^33 The strong and short rostrum (text-fig. 35 a) is directed forwards and downwards. The lateral corner of the thorax is triangnlarly pointed on the left side and rounded on the right (text-figs 35 b— c). The first abdominal somite is as described by Giesbrecht asymmetric, and possesses on the right side, dorsally, a strong curved spine; on the left side at the posterior margin we find in most specimens two vertical rows of from 4—10 teeth, placed the one above the other; on the right side a more regular row of teeth is observed. The structure of the vulva seems to be rather simple (fig. 3 a). Only in a single specimen was there found on the left side of the third abdominal somite near the hinder margin a structure somewhat like the hairy cumulus, which ' .1 be was figured (Taf. 37 fig. 55) by Giesbrecht. In a single specimen a moderately long slender seta was observed in Re I of the antennae. In the lobe IV of the second basipodite in the maxillipeds no sensory process was observed. The first pair of legs has no Se Re I, but Se Re II extends almost to the base of Se Re III; the articulation between Re I and II is fairly well marked except anteriorly and medially. The lateral margin of Re II has a glandular pore near the base of Se Re II, and that of Re III has one placed near base. The Se Ri I has a well developed accessory tooth in pes II, and a somewhat smaller one in pes IV; the inner margin of the second basipodite is smooth in the fourth pair of legs. Glandular pores were found in Re II and in Re III at the base of Se 3, and in pes III — IV as well in Re I. The lateral outline (text-fig. 35 a) of the la- bruni is somewhat similar to that of Euchczte. Be- hind the transverse chitinous list, which is placed somewhat behind the insertion of the antennulae, alow hairy elevation is found; this is separated by a depression from the well raised labrura proper. On the said elevation a median group of long setae and on each side lateral ones of short setae are observed. Along the posterior margin of the labrum long setae are placed in the middle, and shorter spine-shaped ones laterally. The oral surface of the labrum is very similar to that of U. major (cf. fig. 2 a), but the number of setae in the first group is somewhat larger. The lamina labialis and the two series of setae in front of it are in the main like fig. 2 b, but the number of setae is larger; the arrange- ment of hairs on the labial lobes and behind is similar to fig. i c. fj*. Size of specimen from Thor St. 90 was 3-93 mm. ; anterior division 2-89; urosome 1-04 mm. A.Scott's specimens measured 3-2 — 3-6 mm. The rostrum is straight and directed directly downwards; the head is raised but has no frontal Text-fig. 35. UiideuchcEte minor Giesbr. a. f9.

The body is rather slender and in dorsal view somewhat attenuated towards the front; the lateral corners are rounded (text-figs 35 d — e). The abdomen, which is at least one third as long as the an- terior division, is long and slender. The genital opening is placed on the left side; the fifth somite is scarcely visible from above; the caudal rami are short (only half as long as the fourth somite, rounded and about as long as wide). The terminal setae are distinctly longer than the abdomen, and the Si is one fourth as long as St. 2. The atticnmilac extend about to the end of the third abdominal somite; the segments 8 '^^ 9 are partly fused with 10, and 12 with 13, but the segments 20 and 21 are well separated on both sides. The measurements are very like those of the female; the appendages are practically like those of Aetidius. The antennae are scarcely different from those of the female; the manducatory part of the mandibulac is well developed and rounded, but soft-skinned, without any teeth, while the terminal setae of the palps are more powerful than in the female. The niaxillulac have no setae in Li i — 2, but 3 in Li 3; the number of setae in the third basipodite and the Ri is as in the females, but they are more slender. The Re has 10 powerful setae, which were all of equal length. The maxillae form an angle- shaped soft-skinned organ, in which distally soft-skinned, irregular twisted appendages are found. In the second basipodite of the maxillipcds two setae are found in the fourth lobe; the third basipodite is enlarged basally, and attenuated towards the end; the setae of the endopodite are fewer in number and less powerful. The^ Jirsl pair of legs has a well developed articulation between Re I — II, and the Se Re II is short and strong, and far from reaching the middle of following segment; in other respects the natatory legs are scarcely different from those in the female. The right leg of t\i& Ji/th pair (fig. 3 b) has a short second basal segment, which is fused with the corresponding one of the left side, and is strongly produced outwards, and a much longer and wider third basal segment. The right endopodite (fig. 3 e), which extends to the end of Re I 00 II, is rather elongated, distally slightly curved and, as shown in fig., somewhat hollowed; its anterior surface is distinctly striated, and marginally we observe a basal tooth, followed by a distinct striated keel, which is most elevated in the middle (figs 3 c and e). The Re I II of right leg, which are almost completely fused (figs 3 c — d), have in the proximal part the inner surface striated, and the outer one mounted with a few rounded rudimentary teeth, followed by an elongated lamina, and lastly a distinct tooth ; the distal portion (Re II) is somewhat attenuated, and has medially a somewhat contorted, irregular lamella; the R III, which is comparatively short, has its inner surface somewhat excavated, and has the posterior inner margin lamellous. The le/t leg (fig. 3 b) has a short second basal segment, but a long and wide third one; the left endopodite (text-fig. 35 f) is long and slender, reaches distinctly beyond the middle of Re (not seen in fig. 3 b), is widest at the base and is distally enlarged to a rounded lamella (text-fig. 35 f). The left exopodite has a fairly short, somewhat curved Re I, a rather short Re II which terminally possesses a strong spine bearing a basal accessor}' tooth (fig. 3 f), and a moderately long Re III, which possesses a long terminal seta and a group of fairly long setae anteriorly and interiorly; the last segment is laterally connected with the Re II by a real articulation, but medially by a wide, soft membrane of a somewhat complicated structure. COPEPODA 135 Y^ (St. V). Size of specimen from Thor St. 88 was 3-16 mm.; anterior division 2'5i mm.; urosome 0-65 mm. In the shape of the body etc. it is scarcely different from the adult female, but the lateral corner of the thorax is more pointed, showing, however, a similar difference between a more pointed left and a more rounded right corner. In one of five females a strong spine, similar to that of the adult, directed upwards and slightly backwards was found dorsally near the posterior margin of the first ab- dominal somite on the right side; in two other specimens the spine was represented by a single tooth, or a few only; along the posterior margin of the second abdominal somite no short teeth were found. The appendages are in the main like those of the adult females; the Re of the maxillulae possess as usual only 10 setae, of which the median are the shortest; the Se of Re II pes I is shorter than in the adult female, but longer than in the adult male, reaching somewhat beyond the middle of the following seg- ment. The male is always easily distinguished from the female by the presence of a rather short and clumsy fifth pair of legs, of which the left is the longer (text-fig. 35 g). Occurrence. The Ingolf Expedition has taken 2 females, of which one with spermatophore. 1^5 1896 St. 47 6i°32 L. N. i3°4o L. W. V 100— o fathoms. Temp, at surf. io-6° C.

This species seems to have a world-wide distribution. It has been recorded from the warm area of the Faeroe-Shetland channel, from the west coast of Ireland as far north as 54° L. N. "at depths of from 400 to iioo fathom.s". It has been taken by the Monaco Expedition and by the Gauss Expedition in the Mid- and South Atlantic as far south as 35° L. S. By the Siboga Expedition it was found rather common in the Malay Archipelago; it was recorded by Giesbrecht from the Pacific (6°20 L. N. 166—173 L. E.) and by Esterly from the Bay of California. Remarks. In spite of a few minor differences I am fairly convinced that this species is identical with that described by Giesbrecht. Though Scott's fig. 8 PI. XXII is wanting in details I think his male is identical with that described here. Scott is possibly right in identifying Lubbock's Undina pl/iiiiosa with this male, in spite of minor differences, especially in the structure of the right fifth foot, which may, however, be due to a mistake; as Lubbock's description is rather incomplete, I do not at present accept the name U. pluniosa. I think Scott is right in referring the female of Brady's Eiichcete pulchra Lubb. to U. minor. As far as I understand Scott, he refers Brady's Euchaie pulchra $ and his E. australis ? to the same species, but when we compare Brady's fig. 5 PI. 21 and fig. 6 PI. 14, it is easily realised that the two animals are probably not identical, especially on account of the different shape of the genital somite. I 136 COPEPODA think the similarity with the other species of this genus, as pointed out by Giesbrecht as far as U. major is concerned, is better marked, but it may just as well be a species not yet rediscovered. A. Scott also regards the male of Brady's E. australis as identical with this species, and so does Sars; Brady's figs 8 —9 PI. XXI show that it belongs to an Uudcjichcetc^ but is far too incomplete for the drawing of further conclusions. 38. Undeuchaete major Giesbr. (PI. V figs 2 a— d; text-fig. 36). 1883? 9.

The exopodite of the antennae, which is 1-4 as long as the endopodite, has in the first segment a single process without setae, and in the second 2 basal processes and a single terminal one. The soft- skinned manducatory part of the mandibulae has a single well developed tooth and a few rudimentary ones, and the Ri 2 has 9 Sa, but not, as in female, a Sp. The maxillulae possess at least 6 soft sensory (?) appendages in Li i; the Li 2 was wanting, but in Li 3 at least 3, in Basp. 3 at least 3, and in Ri at least 11 setae were found. The Re has 10 well developed plumous setae in addition to a delicate interior one, and Le has 2 short, delicate, basal setae in addition to 5 distal, long ones. The maxillae (PI. VIII fig. 5 b) have 5 well developed lobes, of which the fifth one bears a big twisted seta with enlarged base; the endopodite has at least 5 setae. The maxillipes is more clumsy than that of the female, in shape ressembling that of the males of Und- euchate; the third basipodite is 1-3 as long as the two first ones and 2-5 as long as Ri; the lob. IV of the second basipodite has a long, slender seta and a rather short, curved, spine-like one in addition to the usual conical one. "TV^ first pair of legs differs from that of the female by the very short Se of Re I; the Se of 144 COPEPODA Ri I in the third pair of legs has a fairly distinct accessory tooth, but in other respects scarcely any difference was observed between the natatory legs of the male and female. The fifth pair of legs is in general structure most like that of UndeuchcBtc 7)iinor (PI. V fig. 4 e), to the description of which I partly refer. The right endopodite is about as long as the first segment of the exopodite, enlarged distally and here gutter-shaped; on the posterior surface near the base a short tooth was observed, and along the outer margin a short and low lamina. The first and second segments of the right exopodite are completely fused, and have in the middle an obtuse angle open outwards; the outer margin has proximally two large teeth and a smaller one, and the posterior surface has, near the end, one or two raised keels; the third segment of the exopodite is gutter-shaped, like that of U7tdaich(vtc s. s., but has a terminal, well articulated seta, two thirds as long as the segment. The third basipodite of the left leg has inwards near base a blunt tooth; the endopodite is slender, projects beyond the end of the first segment of the exopodite, and it distally somewhat hol- lowed; the second segment of the exopodite is rather short, has the inner surface distinctly hollowed, and has inwards near the end a strong, rather short spine with a blunt accessory tooth as well as a rounded process; the third segment of the left leg (fig. 4 f) is similar to that of Undeuchcete, but is less slender, and possesses a short bristle in addition to the terminal setae, which are distinctly half as long as the segment Yp (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 88 was 40 mm.; anterior division 3-15 mm.; urosonie 0'85 mm. A male measured 4-02 mm. The shape of the body is in the main like that of the adult male, but the frontal crest is some- what lower, and the lateral corners are triangularly pointed, and scarcely different on the two sides; the limitation, between the head and the first tergite as well as between the fourth and fifth ones, is fairly distinct (text-fig. 38 j). The first abdominal somite is better produced in the male than in the female. The appendages show the usual differences from those of the adult female; the inner margin of the second basipodite is smooth in both sexes. The fiftli pair of legs is, as seen in text-fig. 38 k, fairly well developed. Occurrence. The S/S Thor has in the Atlantic south of Iceland gathered this species at four stations viz: Vg 1904 St. 285 62°49 L. N. i8°46 L. W. 2 f ?, i yd" (V). "/7 1904 St. 183 6i°3o L.N. i7°o8 L. W.

According to Far ran "this species is of frequent occurrence in the N.E.Atlantic, having been taken on every station at depths of from 300 to 1000 fathoms". It has been recorded from the Fteroe channel, from the Mid Atlantic and from the South Atlantic as far south as 35° L. S. It has been recorded from the Gulf of California, from the Pacific 35° L,. N. 125° L,. W. as well as from the Malay Archipelago. Remarks. In spite of the small differences enumerated between my specimens and Giesbrecht's description I think the Atlantic and the Pacific forms belong to the same species. Different authors, f. inst. Pearson and A. Scott, have identified Wolfenden's Euch. carinata ^\W\ this species; they are certainly wrong as far as the young male described in 1902 is concerned; on account of the frontal crest like that of E. galeata, the rounded lateral corners of the thorax and the left endopodite of the fifth pair of legs "like small stump" there is some reason to identify it with, f. inst., Euchirella intermedia (cf. p. 127). The position of the adult female is somewhat uncertain; Wolfenden regards it (p. 236) as a true Euchirella in spite of the missing spines of the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs. It is with some reluctance that I have referred the described male to this species; at present it is impos- .sible to tell its certain position. The descriptions of Esterly and Scott are too short for a certain identification. 41. Chirudina pustulifera G. O. Sars. (PI. V figs 6 a— d; text-fig. 39.) 1905. Undeuchffite pustulifera n. sp. G. O.

Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 6-9 mm.; anterior division 57 mm.; urosome 1-2 mm. Sars' specimens measured 6-9 and Farran's 72 mm. The head has no frontal crest, but a strong, slightly curved rostrum (text-fig. 39). The fifth somite is well limited in front, and the lateral corners are rounded (figs 6 a— b). The genital somite has a very characteristic shape (figs. 6 a— b); on the left a low protuberance is found, and on the right side a very prominent one, consisting of a basal larger portion and a terminal regularly rounded part. The genital somite, seen from the side, has a strong, rounded, rather prominent protuberance in front, and a lower one in the middle as well as behind; observed from below the genital area (fig. 6 c) is like Text-fig. 39. ciurudina that of Ch. StreetsiL The abdomen is almost everywhere hairy, but the setae are ^""^^'^^^^^^y^ c" ^^^ longest and best developed dorsally along the hinder margin of somites II— IV. Dorsally in the genital somite as well as ventrally in the third and fourth ones tufts of shorter and longer hairs are observed. The caudal rami are about as long as wide, and the Si is scarcely half as long as the St., which is about as long as the abdomen. The antennulae extend to the end of the abdomen. The antennae are scarcely different from Farran's fig. 18 PI. XI, except by the presence of a fairly long terminal seta in Re 2; the Re is about 17 as long as Ri. The mandibulae are scarcely different from those of C. abyssalis n. sp. (cf. fig. 5 b); the third basipodite is not smooth as indicated by Farran, but has 3 setae. The maxillulae have 5 powerful setae in Li 2, have 4 + a conical process in Li 3, and 5 in the Basp. 3; the Ri I— III pos- 19 The Ingolf-Expedition. III. 4. 146 COPEPODA sess 4 + 5 + 7 setae as in CIi. Strcctsii. The exopodite has 11 setae, of which the median ones are comparatively short, but not in so marked a degree as in Undeuchcete. The Le has 9 setae (according to Farran 8 only), of which the third and the ninth are somewhat shorter than the Set. 4 — 8, and the first and second are much shorter. The maxillae are very much like those of <7//. abyssalis^ cf. fig. 5 c, and have the hairs on the posterior surface of the four lobes arranged in a similar way. The maxilli- peds are very similar to those of Ch. Strcelsii, but have no lamina along the outer margin of the second basipodite, nor the anterior process of the second basipodite; the third basipodite is 1-5 as long as the first and second, and 3-8 as long as the endopodite. Th.& Jirst pair of legs has the articulation between Re I and II represented by a fairly distinct chitinous line, which is almost wanting posteriorly; the Se Re I extends beyond the end of Re II, and the Se Re II extends just to the end of Re III. The second pair of legs has indication of articular membrane between the Ri I^II, but has no accessory tooth at the base of the blunt Se Ri I; the terminal spine has 70 serrations. The Se of Ri I is pointed, but is without accessory teeth in the two last pair of legs; the second basipodite of \\\& fourth foot bears on the hinder surface of a process projecting from the inner margin a transverse row of 8— 11 strong, fairly long spines, of which the inner are somewhat more slender. The lateral outline of the labruni is like that of Ch. Sfreefsii, with well raised, smooth, anterior elevation, and so is the oral surface of the labriini (fig. 6 d) ; the only difference of importance is found in the much longer first group, the almost wanting lateral row in the second group, and the much better developed transverse row of short hairs in front of the transverse chitinous bar. The lamina labialis and the area in front of it are scarcely different from those of Ch. Streetsii, while the arrangement of hairs upon and behind the labial lobes is like that of Ch. abyssalis (fig. 5 f ) ; a tuft of about 20 long slender setae is found on the lateral surface of the labial lobe, just as in Ch. nofacantha.

This species has been recorded from two stations between 700 and 1000 fathoms off the west coast of Ireland; the Monaco Expedition has gathered it at three stations. Remarks. The only difference found betweeti my specimens and Sars' description, which is rather insufficient, is found in the comparatively shorter "antennes anterieurs depassant la longueur de la division anterieure du corps". The Basp. II of pes IV has 6 for 11 spines. The unimportant dif- ferences from Farran's description are enumerated in the description. Farran has referred the species to Euchirella, probably on account of the well developed spines in the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs, but it differs in a number of more important characters, viz: the structure of the oral surface of the labrum, the wanting glandular pore of the base of Se i Re III pes II — IV, the compara- tively long Ri of the antennae, the position of the sj^ines on posterior surface of lobes I — IV of maxillae, and the arrangement of the setae of the maxillulae. In all these characters it agrees with Chirudina as well as, though in a less degree, with UiideicchcEte. It agrees with Undeuchcete in the comparatively short median setae of the Re of the maxillulae, but with Chirudina m the number of setae in L,i 2 and COPEPODA 147 Ri of the maxillulae and the presence of a Se Re I pes I. The two genera are very nearly related, but as the five species of Undeuchcete form a very natural group I prefer to refer this species to Chirudina. 42. Chirudina abyssalis n. sp. (PI. V figs 5 a— f; text-figs 40 a— c). Description. i% Size of specimen from Thor St. 183 was 5-4 mm.; anterior divisioii 4-3 mm.; urosome i-i mm. The head is gradually rounded in front, without any crest; the rostrum is rather short, but strong, directed downwards and slightly backwards (text-fig. 40 a). The cephalothorax, which is moder- ately slender and slightly attenuated towards the front part as well as towards the end, is about 2-5 as long as wide; the first thoracic tergite is, at least dorsally, well separated from the head; the fifth somite, which is well separated in front, is laterally not produced, and has evenly rounded corners (fig. 5 a). The anterior division is about four times as long as the abdomen. The genital somite, which is a little wider than deep and as deep as long, is in dorsal outline almost symmetrical; the ventral surface is anteriorly rather suddenly produced and posteriorly gradu- ally sloping; the genital area is in ventral view seen to be somewhat different from that of the preceding species. The genital somite possesses, dorsally, along hinder margin, short hairs, and ventrally tufts of longer hairs ; the fol- lowing somites are more and less hairy, the hairs being longest dorsally and ventrally. The caudal rami are about as long as wide; the terminal setae are distinctly shorter than the abdomen and about three times as long as the Si. The anienmilae extend to the end of the caudal rami; the measurements are very like those of the preceding species. The exopodite of the antennae is i-6 as long as the endopodite; the second segment of the endopodite has 8 setae in Li and 7 in Le; the first segment of the exopodite, which is one third as long as the second, has inside a short protuberance with a short hair; the second seg- ment has only a terminal seta. The mandibulae have, as shown in fig. 5 b, a rather characteristic shape, and the viaxillulae are completely like those of Ch. pustulifera. The maxillae (fig. 5 c) are only slightly produced basally, and have the spinous areas on the hinder surface of the four proximal lobes distinctly different from those of \\\o?,'i s^^^ox^s oi Euchirella (cf. fig. gd); in the first lobe a smooth area is found surrounded by spines. The uiaxilUpeds are scarcely different from those of the preceding species; beyond the Si 3 in the third basipodite a longitudinal row of longer and shorter teeth is found (text- fig. 40 c) ; similar teeth were found in Ch. pusfuli/era, but not in C/i. Streetsii. 19* Text-fig. 40. Chirudina abyssalis n. sp. a. f 9. Head X iS. b. Pes I X 33. c- Maxillipes sin. Basp. Ill in post. view X 87. 148 COPEPODA The. Jirsf pair 0/ legs (text-fig. 40 b) has the articulation between Re I and II better developed than in the preceding species, but is in other respects scarcely different; the terminal spine of the second pair of legs has 90 teeth, and the second basipodite of the fourtli pair of legs has 11 knife-shaped spines (fig. 5 d). The outline of the labrum is, as seen in text-fig. 40a, somewhat different from that of Ch. Streetsii; the oral surface of the labrum differs in the same way as that of Ch. pustulifera from that of Ch. Streetsii. The lamina labialis is smooth, and the area in front of it is, as shown in fig. 5 e, somewhat different from that of Ch. Streetsii, and so is the arrangement of hairs upon and behind the labial lobes (fig. 5 f), the main difference being that a large group of delicate hairs is found where the series III and IV start at the base of labial lobes, not where series IV and V start. In front of the oesophagus a long coecal sac is found. Occurrence. Of this species the S/S Thor has only taken 4 adult females "/^ 1904 St. 183 6i°30 L.N. i7°o8 L.W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire. Remarks. This species is very nearly related to Ch. pustulifera.^ and ought, accordingly, to be referred to the same genus. It shows some similarity to U. obtusa G. O. Sars (1905 p. 13; Farran 1908 p. 40), which has the antennules "depassant a peine, en longueur, la division anterieure du corj^s", as well as to U. lobata G. O. Sars (1907, pp. 11 — 12), from which it seems to differ by lateral corners "assez saillants en arriere et etroitement arrondis an bout", by longer abdomen and antennulae. 43. Chirudina notacantha G.

Young females measured from 4-31 — 5-54 mm. Sars' specimen measured c. 5 mm. The lateral outline of the head is gradually sloping towards the strong imdivided rostrum, which is directed downwards and slightly backwards (text-fig. 41 g). The cephalosome, which in tlie middle is scarcely half as broad as it is long, is attenuated towards the front as well as towards the end. The head is well separated from the first thoracic tergite, and the fifth one is well marked out in front (text-fig. 41 i); the latter somite is, near dorsal margin, produced into a strong triangularly pointed spine, which scarcely attains the end of the first abdominal somite. The abdomen, which is scarcely one fourth as long as the anterior division, has four somites, the comparative length of which was 22, 29, 21, 17 and 15 (furcal branch); the furcal branch is distinctly wider than long. Along the hinder margins densely placed hairs are found; the terminal setae are distinctly shorter than the ab- domen (text-fig. 41 j). The antennulae extend almost to the middle of the abdomen; in measurement they are very much like those of Ch. Streetsii. The exopodite of the antennae is almost i-S as long as the endopo- dite, which has 7 setae in Li and 6 in Le; the first segment of the exopodite has a short process inside, bearing a delicate seta, only as long as the process itself, and the second has a terminal seta COPEPODA 149 inside (cf. CIi. abyssalis). The iiiaxillulac have in addition to the 4 Sp. on the posterior surface of Li i a short S 15; the Le 2 has 5 setae, the Li 3 has 4 setae and the Basp. Ill has 5 setae; the endopodite has 3 setae in Ri I, 5 setae in Ri II and 7 setae in Ri III. The exopodite has 10 setae of about equal length, and the Le has 2 short proximal setae and 7 long distal ones. The maxillae are scarcely dif- ferent from those of C/i. abyssal/s cf. PI. V fig. 5 c, and the maxillipeds have tlie third basipodite 3-3 as long as the endopodite and 1-6 as long as the two basal segments. The first pair of legs is very much like that of Ch. abyssalis; the articular mem- brane between Re I— II is com- pletely wanting posteriorly and only slightly developed anteriorly; the vSe of Re I distinctly extends beyond the end of preceding segment, and so does Se of Re II. The articulation between Ri I — II in the second pair of legs is wanting posteriorly, but is marked by an indi- stinct line anteriorly, and the Se of Ri I is slightl)- marked as seen in text-fig.; the arti- culation between Re I and II is almost wanting posteriorly; the St. has 50 — 60 short teeth. The Se of Ri I is well devel- oped but without an acces- sory tooth in the fourth pair of legs, and the inner margin of the second basipodite is completely smooth. The only difference between the male and female is found in Wvt fifth pair of legs in the male (text-fig. 41 k); this is distinctly different from the preceding species by the segmentation of the left exopodite and by the wanting terminal setae. The labritm etc. is scarcely different from that of Ch. Strcctsii (cf. text-fig. 38 a) ; along the transverse ridge which limits the labruni in front about 10 rather delicate setae are found. The oral surface of the labrum (PL VI fig. I a) is rather characteristic, though showing most similarity to that of Ch. Streetsii; the supporting chitinous framework is less developed. The first group of the longitudinal series consists of numerous short spinules; the second group consists of a single longitudinal row of fairly long setae; the third Text-fig. 41.

The /aiiiiiia labialis (PL VI fig. i b) is not quite like that of any of the examined species, as it consists, as shown in figure, of two rather independent portions. The arrangement of the setae in front of the row is like that of Chirudina Strcetsii, but no granular area was observed. The arrangement of tlie series upon and behind the labial lobes is in its main feature like that of C. abyssalis (PI. VI fig. i b; cf. PI. V fig. 5 f). Laterally a similar tuft of hairs is found as in Ch. pustulifera. fc? (St. VI). Size of specimen from Thor St. 183 was 67 mm.; anterior division 5-2 mm.; urosome 1-5 mm. The head is rounded, with fairly slender rostral spine (text-fig. 41 a). The body is more slender than in the female; the articulation between the head and the first thoracic tergite is only indistinct; the lateral spine of the thorax is placed more dorsally, is more slender and apparently starts from the fifth somite. The comparatively slender abdomen is about one third of the anterior division, and has, as seen in text-fig. 41 b, the genital opening on the left side, and has a seam of short, delicate teeth along the posterior margins of somites II— I V^. The furcal rami are somewhat wider than long; the St. 2 is somewhat longer than the abdomen. The antennulae extend about to the end of the second abdominal somite; the segment 10 is partly fused with 8^9, the segment 12 with 13, but the segments 21 and 22 are well separated on both sides; ".i^sthetasken" are only wanting in segments 20, 23 and 24; the measurements are very similar to those of the young ones. The exopodite of the a?itennae is only 1-3 as long as the endopodite; the Re I and II are indistinctly separated, and both possess a rudimentary setigerous process, but the antennae are in other respects like the female. The viandibula scarcely differs from that of Ch. Strcetsii. The inaxillulae possess in Li i at least 10 soft-skinned ringed appen- dages as well as two short setae of usual structure, in Li II, which is fairly long, 3 soft appen- dages, and in Li III 5 setae of usual structure are found; the basipodite III has 5 setae, the Ri I — II have 7 setae, and the Ri III has 7 as well; the exopodite has 10 long setae and a short delicate inner one, and the Le has 2 short basal ones and 5 long distal ones. The viaxillae are soft-skinned, but they are better developed than in most other species of this family ; the Lob. I — IV are well developed, and possess 2 to 3 setae, and so does Lob. V, but its Sp. is strong and not twisted; the Re has 6 setae. The maxillipcds are in main feature like those of Ch. Strcetsii; their third basipodite is 2-5 as long as Ri and 1-5 as long as the two basal segments. The first pair of legs has the articulation between Re I — II better developed, and the Se Re I is quite rudimentary ; the three last natatory legs are scarcely different from those of the young specimens. The right fifth foot has a rather short third basipodite; the right endopodite has some similarity to that of Ch. Streetsii, is terminally gutter-shaped on the anterior surface, but has somewhat proximally to its end laterally a rounded incision (text-fig. 41 c); the outline of the endopodite is rather irregular, but no marginal laminae or teeth were observed in proximal half. The right exopodite has the two first segments fused, and is, observed from in front, distinctly convex towards the middle; the third segment is obtusely rounded, is rather elongate and possesses marginally a distinct lamina (text-figs 41c— d). The third basipodite of the left foot is long, almost attaining the middle of Re I cnj II ; the left endopodite (text-fig. 41 e) is unsegmented, and is, as shown in fig., distinctly narrow somewhat beyond the middle. COPEPODA i^i The first segment of the left exopodite is fairly long and slender, while the second, as shown in text- fig. 41 f, is broad and widened out terminally, where a bifurcate spine is seen ; the third segment (PI. V fig. 7 a) is distinctly widened out towards the end and produced inwards, where the usual tuft of mar- ginal setae is observed; on the posterior surface groups of delicate hairs are found. Inwards at the base of Re III, a partly independent, lobe is observed with groups of fairly long hairs posteriorly. The outline of the labrum is, as seen in fig., very similar to that of the female, but the whole apparatus is soft-skinned without any setae, but adorned with an intricate systeme of chitinous ridges; two labial lobes are present with a longitudinal furrow between. Parasites. In one specimen twisted structures like those described in Gaidms tcmiispinns (p. 92) were attached behind both maxillae; in another specimen a similar organ was found behind the one maxilla only, but in that specimen a "sac-shaped parasite?" was found attached to the L,i I of the left maxillula. Occurrence. The Thor Expedition has "/? 1904 St. 183 6i°30 L. N. i7°o8 U W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire gathered 3 young females, 11 adult males and 9 young males. The Monaco Expedition has taken immature females at two stations, and Farran has recorded adult males as well as immature ones from the west coast of Ireland "on four stations from depths of 600 to 1 150 fathoms". Remarks. I am pretty well convinced that the described species is identical with Sars' Gaidius notacanthus^ in spite of a few differences from the somewhat meagre description, viz: in the antennulae, which are not "presque aussi longues que le corps". The male is probably identical with that described by Farran. The male, which Scott has referred to this species, is 5-9 mm. long and has rounded lateral corners; accordingly it is not the male of Ch. notacantha^ and it may more naturally be regarded as the male of Ch. pustulifera. Sars and Farran as well as the other authors have i^rovisionally referred this species to Gaidius.^ as the adult females are not yet known. Several structural features have, however, convinced me that this species like CIi. parvispma, and probably also Gaidius validus Farran (1908, p. 32), G. cryptospinus G. O. Sars (1905, p. 10), divaricatus G. O. Sars (p. 10) and G. niaximus Wolf. (1906, p. 2), is nearly related to Undeuchate spectabilis G. O. Sars (1900) p. 59 as well as to Clii- rtidina Streetsii, pustulifera and abyssalis. It differs from Gaidius tenuispimis etc. by the three-seg- mented exopodite of the first pair of legs with well developed Se Re I, by the wanting setae along the inner margin of the second basipodite in the fourth pair of legs in the young specimens of the fifth stage, as well as by the structure of the oral surface of the labrum and the lamina labialis. All the described males referred to this genus show a marked similarity to Lhideuchcrte in the structure of the fifth pair of legs, and are accordingly different from those of Gaidius and Gaetanus. 44.

Farran's .specimens measured 4-9 mm. 152 COPEPODA fv, The rostrum is strong and directed downwards. The head is, in contrast to Farran's fig. 4, well separated from the first thoracic tergite. The fifth somite is well developed and bears a short, downwards directed hooked spine (text-fig. 42). The abdomen differs from that of the preceding species by being less hairy. The antennulae extend to the end of the chephalosome; the mouth appendages are scarcely different from those of Cli. iwtacantha. In the strticture of the natatory legs scarcely any difference was observed between this and the preceding species. The third foot is shown in text-fig. 42 e. The only difference between male and female is found in the presence of a fiftli pair of legs in the former sex; this pair of legs (text-fig. 42 g) is in most respects like that of the preceding species, but differs by the equal length of the two exopodites as well as in a few minor points. In the structure of the labrjtvi and its surroundings no difference of great interest was observed between this species and the preceding ones (cf. PL VI figs I a -b). Y^ (St. IV). Size of male from Thor St. 183 was 3-46 mm.; anterior division 2'8i mm.; uro- some 0-65 mm. The body is more slender, and so is the rostrum; the lateral corners are somewhat more robust (text-fig. 43 f). The abdomen consists of three seg- ments as .shown in text-fig. 43 f. The mouth appendages show the usual differences. The exopodite of the first pair of legs .shows no trace of segmentation, but has three well developed Se. The endopodite of the srcoiid pair of legs is unsegmented, and the two last segments of the exopodite are fused, bearing 3 Se and a single glandular pore at the base of Se 3. The inner margin of the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs is smooth. The only difference between the male and female is found in the fffh pair of legs, which, as shown in text-fig. 43 h, is less developed than in the preceding stage. f c?. Size of male from Thor St. 183 was 5-28 mm.; anterior division 4-15 mm.; urosome 1-3 nun. The rostrum (text-fig. 43 a) is somewhat shorter, and the lateral spines of the end of the thorax, which are placed less dorsally, are more slender and extend a little beyond the hinder margin; the fifth thoracic tergite is not distinctly marked out. The abdomen (text-fig. 43 b) is scarcely different from that of Ch. iiotacantha. The antennulae extend beyond the end of first abdominal somite. The two basal segments of the exopodites are well separated in the antennae, and the maxillae have the setae of the first lobes somewhat contorted, and the Sp. of the lob. V more swollen at the base, but in other respects the mouth-limbs were like those of the male of Ch. notaca/itha. Fig. 42. Ch. parvispitia Farr. Ycf (St. V). a. Left lateral corner X 29. b.

The Jifth pair of legs is in main features like that of Ch. notacantha, but differs in several de- tails. The right endopodite (text-fig. 43 c) has a more regular shape, and has a somewhat different shape terminally; the third segment of the right exopodite (text-fig.. 43 c) has, inwards, characteristic incisions and processes. The left endopodite has a more regular shape, and is terminally produced into a short tooth (text-fig. 43 d). The second segment of the exopodite is of more equal breadth throughout, and the third segment is distinctly more slender (text-fig. 43 e) ; the arrangement of the series of hairs on the posterior surface of Re III shows characteristic features of specific value (fig. 8 a PI.

This species has only been recorded by Far ran from the west coast of Ireland between 580 and 680 fathoms at 54°53 L. N. io°42 L. W. in the mouth of November 1904, and at 54°57 L. N. io°5i L. W. in the month of February 1905. Remarks. The specimen (young male) described by Far ran is scarcely different from my specimens. The female is perhaps identical with Ufid. spedabilis G. O. Sars (1900, p. 59), which is, how- ever, much bigger (f? 8 mm.), but in other respects, except by the shorter Se of Re I pes I, is scarcely different in any features of importance. If, however, Sars' male (6 mm. long) and female really belong 20 'Ihe Ingolf-Expcdition. IJI. 4, JC4. COPEPODA to the same species (they were gathered in the same sample at 84° L. N., "the tow-net having been lowered to 130 metres"), Ch. parvispina and spcctabilis are scarcely identical, as Sars' male possessed a rounded lateral corner and a distinctly more elongate third segment in the exopodite of the fifth foot. Valdlviella vStener. 18S3? Euchrete pars Brady. 1904, Valdiviella n. gen. Steuer. 1905. — Steuer. G. O. Sars. 1908. Valdiviella Steuer. Farran. 1909. — — A. Scott 191 1. — — Wolfenden. According to G. O. Sars and Wolfenden this genus is nearly related to Ejic/icrfc; the structure of the maxillulae and the maxillae bear out this opinion. With some right Steuer suggests that it ought to be referred to the AcHdeidae; the structure of the legs, of the labrum, the labiimi and the antennulae support this view. On account of the two egg-balls and the distinctly three-segmented basi- podite of the maxillulae, I think that the form is a rather primitive one. V. oligartlira Steuer, insignis Farran and brevicornis G. O. Sars, as well as the curious V. mitior Wolf, are certainly good species A. Scott has referred a young male, probably belonging to this genus, to Brady's Euc. gtgas; he is certainly wrong; his specimens are from the Malayan Seas and Brady's from the west coast of South- America; the length of the former was 8 mm. and of the latter 5-25 mm. The lateral corner of Brady's specimens had a long lateral spine, that of Scott's species a short triangular one. 45. Valdiviella insignis Farran. (PI. VI figs 2 a— e; text-figs 44 a — d). 1908.

Size of specimen from St. 183 was 1175 mm.; anterior division 8-5 mm.; urosome 3-35 mm. Farran's specimens measured 11-5 — 12'0 mm. The anterior division, which has distinctly rounded lateral corners without tuft of hairs, is rather clumsy; the rostrum consists of two short, well separated spines; the first thoracic somite is com- pletely fused with the head, and the fourth with the fifth. The anterior division is 2-5 as long as the abdomen, which has the proportional length as 45, 35, 25, 11, 11. The genital somite is almost sym- metrical and only slightly produced below; the vulva is seen laterally as an incision between an anterior and posterior process. The somites III — IV have ventrally a tuft of long hairs; the posterior margins, not only of the III— IV tergites but also of the I oj H, are denticulated. The furcal rami and the setae are scarcely different from Farran's description; the appendicular seta seems to be longer than figured by Wolfenden. The antennulae^ which extend a little beyond the end of the thorax, have not the obtuse angle between the proximal and distal portion, which is found in Ettchcefe^ the segments 80^9 and 24'>5 25 are almost completely fused. The ringed terminal setae are less powerful than those found in Euch(Ete\ no proximal setae were found in segments 10, 11 and 20 — 23; rather short triangularly pointed ".i55sthe- tasken" were observed in segments 5, 9, 12, 14 and 19. The measurements are even in minor details COPEPODA jcc like Farran's description and very characteristic; the segments Scvig are 1-3 as long as segment 7, and again 1-2 as long as 13; the segment 17, which is three times as long as the segment 14, is a little longer than the segment 19, and 1-4 as long as 24^25. The basipodite III of the «;/A;///«r has a single well developed seta; the Ri I has 2 fairly long setae, and the Li of Ri II has at least 7 longer and shorter setae. The exopodite is a Httle longer than the endopodite; its first segment is well developed without any seta, and the second has a short terminal seta. The mandibjilae have the teeth developed in a curious way, as shown in Farran's fig. 3; the basipodite III possesses proximally a fairly long somewhat curved seta and, medially, a short one; the Ri I has at least one seta, and the Ri II 8 powerful long setae, and more medially, a fairly long slender one. The maxUlulae have in general shape some similarity to Euchmtc; in the Le were found only 6 well developed setae, of which the third is the longest in several specimens, and not 7 as figured by Farran (fig. 5), as the proximal was probably wanting; the Li I has only 11 setae, as S 12—14 on the posterior surface are missing; corresponding to Li II— III only a single lobe with 4 setae was found. The Basp. Ill has i seta, the Ri I 2 and the Ri II '>i III 3 strong setae. Three basal segments are easily recognized in this species; the Basp. I is adorned with Li I, the Basp. II with Li II and Le I, and the Basp. Ill, which is well articulated, has the two branches. The maxillae are like Farran's fig. 4 PI. Ill; the first basipodite has the exterior margin distinctly concave in the middle; the Lob. I — IV have posteriorly a distinct spinous area. The proportional length of the segments in the niaxillipeds is 60, 90, 26; they are scarcely different from those of V. oligarthra. The pes I has the Ri I — II completely fused, and the Re I is only indicated by a medial incision and a powerful Se; as shown in fig. 2 a, a glandular canal and pore was present in the exterior margin of the second and third division; the pore in the former was covered by a spine-shaped mass, and both pores were surrounded by numerous hairs. The^^j //has the distinction between Re I — II indicated by a medial incision and a well developed lateral spine; the articular membrane is anteriorly repre- sented by a faint line, which is not seen posteriorly. The unsegmented Ri has near the tip on the anterior surface a minute pore (text-fig. 44 b). Near the base of Se Re II and Se 3 Re III but not in Re I, wide glandular pores are found, in connection with big sacs with glandular cells, which are placed proximally to the articular membranes between the Re I— II and Re II — III respectively. The /e'j /// differs from pes II by the distinct articular line between Ri II — III; a distinct glandular pore is found at the base of Se Re I; the pes IV is in main features like pes III, but the Basp. II has comparatively few hairs along the inner margin. The epistoma is represented by a short protuberance, which is placed somewhat behind the insertion of the antennulae; it is steep in front, and smoothly sloping behind, and apjDcars quite smooth. The labriim is rather prominent; on the anterior surface, somewhat in front of the free margin, a trans- verse row of fairly long stiff hairs (fig. 2 b) is observed; and more laterally, partly covered by this, an oblique row; and along the hinder margin the usual row of numerous somewhat curled hairs (fig. 2 e). The oral surface of the labruin (fig. 2 c) has the group i placed laterally, and consisting of numerous short setae or granules; the group 2, which is well separated from this, and consists of comparatively few longer setae, is closely followed by groups 3—4; the group 5 consists of more numerous and comparatively longer setae. 156 COPEPODA The lamina labialis does not show any features of interest (fig. 2 d); the area in front of it is most like that of Chiridiiis\ it consists of a lateral, somewhat convex, row of fairly long setae and two median, well separated, groups, as shown in fig. Behind the lamina and between the labial lobes, which were not studied in detail, no setae were observed. Y(i" (St. V). Size of specimen from St. 183 was 9 mm.; anterior division 6-5 mm.; urosome 2*5 mm. The shape of the body is in main respects like that of the females, but the lateral corner of the thorax has a small tooth ; of the four abdominal somites the second is longer than the third, which is as long as the first. The measurements of the antennulae are somewhat different; the segments 17 and 19, which are of equal length, are 1-24 as long as 24'>^25, and 2-5 as long as segment 14. The other appendages do not seem to show differences of any importance; the Re of the maxillulae pos- sess, as usual in this stage, only 10 setae. The pes V of the male is somewhat like that of Euch3 25, which is 1-2 as long as 17. The mouth appendages, except the maxilltilae, are practically like those of the adult; the Le had in the single specimen examined a single proximal long seta and 3 very delicate hairs distally; the Li I has only 10 setae, and the Re as usually 8. The pes I differs distinctly from that of the adult by the more slender form especially of Ri; both branches are undivided; the 3 Se are well developed, and a glandular pore is found in the third division. The pes II has both branches unsegmented; the Re I — III has 6 Si and 4 Se; only at the base of Se 3 Re III is a glandular pore found.

That scarcely any specimens were taken in the numerous surface hauls during the crossing of the Danish East-Greenland Expedition 1900 (June— September), in the Norwegian Sea, in the ocean east of Greenland, in Denmark Strait and the Atlantic south of Iceland, seems to indicate that the species is extremely scarce at the surface. In vertical samples from near the coast of Greenland a few specimens were found. As so few specimens have been taken, I think a full account of the stations may be useful. 25/6 1900 Jan Mayen.

It is, according to Sars, frequent in deeper layers along the whole coast of Norway, and so it is in the Skager Rak. It is recorded as common in the Barents Sea. The most common species of Euchwfe found in the Polar basin crossed by Nan sen was E. glacialis^ not nor- vegica as originally proposed by Sars, but the latter sjDecies was nevertheless (Sars 1903 p. 39) found occasionally in two different places. As Mrazek says that his specimens attain a length of about 10 mm., he has probably confounded the two species. Etichfete norvegica has been taken by the Due d'Orleans (from 7/^ — i/g 1905) at most stations between c. 10° Long. East and the east coast of Greenland as far north as 80° I^at. North, but was never common. The species was never common between c. 300 — 100 meters, where adult females with ovi- sacs or spermatophores and males (sometimes with spermatophores attached to pes V) were often found; between o — 100 met. mature specimens were never found, but now and then a few young ones (1907 p. 407). Wolfenden has found the same to be the case in the Atlantic and writes (p. 133) "Young and undeveloped specimens are not uncommon near the surface, but the adult animal appears to prefer the deep water down to 500—600 fathoms". My material, as far as it goes, tells the same story. Though the species has a wide distribution in the northern seas, and though it is occasionally found propagating here, I think we are right in regarding it as a species which belongs to the North Atlantic, and by the Atlantic currents are carried to the polar regions; it seems in any case to be distinctly more common in the Fseroe channels and the west of Iceland than in the ocean between Norway, Greenland and Spitsbergen. 47.

Description. % Size of specimen from St. 72 Thor 1905 was 6-4 nun.; head -|- first thoracic tergite 2-8, four posterior thoracic somites i-8; urosome i-8 mm. The lateral corner is like Wolfenden's figure, and more pointed than figured by Scott and Esterly for Pacific species; the point is, as shown in text-figs 46a— b, more prominent on the left than on the right side; no lateral tuft of hairs is found. COPEPODA 167 The genital somite is, as seen in fig. 46 a, distinctly produced below, but the outline is not quite like any of the published drawings. The structure of the vulva seems to be a good deal more com- plicated than figured by Wolfenden. The subapical seta is more slender, but longer than St. 2.

The genital somite, which is 13 as long as wide and 1-2 as long as deep, is in dorsal view slightly asymmetrical, and has the lateral margins strongly convex, somewhat in front of the middle. The genital protuberance has in lateral view a wing-like anterior process, sometimes slightly concave in the middle, and a more dorsal and posterior process, separated from the former by a distinct incision (text- figs 51 a— e). In ventral view the vulva shows some .similarity to Wolfenden's figure 53 a, which is, however, too incomplete for a detailed comparison, and is distinctly different from the mentioned species of this group. The posterior incision in the median plate is not observed; the anterior tri- angular point, of which an oval plate is found, is just indicated. The antennulae extend just beyond the end of the third thoracic tergite, but not to the end of the cephalo-thorax ; the segments 24cn3 25 are as long as the segment 19; the appendages scarcely show differences from those of E. norvegica. The mouth-limbs are scarcely different from those of E. barbata; 23* j8o copepoda the Le of the viaxilhdac possess 5 long -f 2 shorter setae. This is in contrast to Wolfenden, who has only found 5 setae in his specimens. The articular membrane between Re I— II of pes I is barel}- in- dicated, and the Se is, as pointed out by Wolfenden and Farran, extremely minute. The pes II \s like Farran's description; the Se Re II almost extends to tlie end of Se i Re III, and the Se 2 Re III extends a little beyond the middle of the third division; in most of Wolf en den's specimens the Se 2 reaches the end of the segment. The anterior surface of the lahrum is in the arrangement of the setae scarcely different from E. Sarsi (fig. 7 a); the oral surface is most like that of E. norvegica (fig. 10 a); the lateral group consists of about 10 fairly long, densely placed, setae. The first group of the longitudinal series, which is some- what convex in front, is connected with group 2, which possesses fairly long setae, by delicate hairs scattered inwards and outwards; groups 3—6 are fairly well separated, without difference between outer and inner portion. The arrangement of the hairs on the area in front of the lamina labialis (fig. 10 b) is in the main like that of E. norvegica, but shows, however, as realised by comparing figures, distinct difference; the lateral group, f. inst, is almost completely fused with the median. c?. Size of specimen from St. 183 was 5-56 mm.; anterior division 3-93 mm.; urosome 1-63 mm. The shape of the body is more clumsy than in E. norvegica; the anterior division is only 25 as long as wide, and 2-4 as long as the abdomen, the first somite of which is about i-i as long as broad. The left side of the thorax is distinctly produced, and the dorsal lateral spine is represented by a minute rounded eminence; on the right side no lateral spine is found (text-fig. 51 f). The dorsal lateral process of the first abdominal somite is, as usually, best developed on the right side, but is not very prominent The anfennulae extend distinctly beyond the end of the cephalo-thorax ; segments 12 — 13 have no articular membrane posteriorly; the segment 19 is 1-9 as long as 240325; no "^Esthetask" was found in segment 20. The lob. IV of the Basp. II of the maxillipeds has in addition to a fairly long slender seta a moderately long hairy process and a rather small conical protuberance; the other mouth- limbs are scarcely different from those of the type-species. The pes I has an extremely short Se in Re I; the pes II is like that of E. larbata. The pes V is shorter and more clumsy than in the mentioned species; the Re I — II pes V sin. are most like the corresponding segments in E. harbata (fig. 10 c); the serrated process is narrow with regular marginal serration. Yq (St. V). Size of $ from St 183 was 4-83 mm.; anterior division 3-63; urosome 1-2 mm. c? (St. 183) measured 4-54 mm. The shape of the body is, as in the adult specimens, more clumsy than the corresponding stages of the related species. The lateral corner is, as shown in figure, triangularly, but obtusely, pointed. The Se of the Re I pes I is comparatively long and slender. The females examined are distinctly different from the male by the produced lower margin of the first somite; the pes V does not show characters of great interest (text-figs 51 g — ^j). Y$ (St. IV). Size of specimen from St 183 was 334 mm. ; anterior division 2-48mm. ; urosome 0-86 mm. This stage differs from corresponding stage in related species by an obtusely pointed lateral corner.

This species has previously been gathered off the west coast of Ireland "at depths of from 700 to 1000 fathoms" at five stations "but very few specimens were found on each occasion". Wolfenden's specimens, which on account of the different shape of the genital somite (PI. XXXV fig. 3) cannot with security be referred to the same species, were gathered under the equator ca. 20° L,. W. (depth 3000 m.) 53. Euchaete Hansenii n. sp. (Text-figs 52 a — b.) Description. Size: 8-9 mm. ; anterior division 6-5 mm.; urosome 2-4 mm. The shape of the body is like that of B. norvegica. The anterior division is 27 as long as the urosome, which is only a little longer than the width of the thorax. The proportional length of the abdominal somites is 45, 26, 25. The genital somite is, laterally, more suddenly convex than in E. Sarsi, and, as in this, the greatest width lies in the proximal part; the genital somite is 1-3 as long as wide, but only i-i as long as deep. The lateral conical process which characterises E. barbata and Farraiii, is wanting. In lateral view the geni- tal protuberance differs distinctly from that of E. Sarsi by the straight, not concave, anterior process, and by a fairly distinct process behind and above the second one, sometimes indicated in E. Sarsi, which, as usu- ally, represents the posterior border of the vulva. The ventral surface is quite different; the triangular plate in front is divided into three processes; the transverse plate has posteriorly a median incision, on each side of which are two lobes (text-figs 52 a— b). — The a?ttennulae scarcely extend to the end of the cephalo-thorax ; the appendages are scarcely different from those of E. norvegica; the segment 19 is ri as long as the segments 24<>^25. The maxillulae possess in Le i two basal, fairly long and slender, setae, followed by 6 powerful seta and one terminal somewhat shorter one; the Basip. has 5, the Ri I 3, Ri II 4 and the Ri III 3 setae. The articular membrane between Re I— II is barely indicated, and the Se is long and slender. The Be of Re I is fairly long, and extends almost to the base of Se i Re III, and the Se 2 Re III extends to the base of Se 3. Text-fig. 52. Ettchccte Hansenii n. sp. a. fQ. Abdomen X i6. b.

This species is nearly related to E.

Euchaete Bradyi n. sp. (Pi. VI fig. 9 a; text-figs 53 a — b). Description. vSize: 80 mm.; anterior division 5-5 mm. ; iirosome 2'5 mm. The anterior division is about 2'2 as long as the urosome, which is about as long as the abdomen is wide. The lateral corner is rounded, with a heavy tuft of hairs. The proportional length between the abdominal so- mites is 40, 25, 25. The ventral surface of the three last ab- dominal somites possesses a number of short delicate hairs. The genital sojiiitc is i-6 as long as wide, but, on account of the high ventral protuber- ance, only i-i as long as deep; no posterior process is found on the left side. The snbapical seta is broken, but is probably longer than St. 2. The ante- rior flange on the side of the vulva is rather short, with a somewhat convex outline, when observed in lateral view; the posterior margin is rather prominent. The vulva is covered by the lateral flanges, in any case in front, to a greater extent than in the other species; the triangular plate in front is indistinctly developed; posteriorly a median incision is found, on each side of which a complicated chitinous framework is found (text-figs 53 a — c). The antennulac extend somewhat beyond the end of the abdomen; the appendages are like those of E. norvegtca; the segments 24cn3 25 are i-i as long as segment 19. The Le of the maxillulae possess two short and 5 long setae; the basipodite has 5, and the Ri 3 -]- 4 -(- 3 setae. The other mouth- limbs do not show features of any interest. The articular line between Re I — II pes I is indistinctly marked; the Se Re I is wanting, and the concavity distal to its usual insertiou is only moderate. The exterior outline of the Re III, which in most species is more or less straight, is moderately convex towards the middle, and tiie usual glandular pore is not seen. The Se Re II of the pes II extends almost to the tip of the Se i Re III, and the Se 2 of this segment extends somewhat beyond the middle of the third division, but not to the end of the segment.

COPEPODA 183 The anterior surface of the labruin has on each side, posteriorly, an area covered with fairly long hairs; this group is almost fused with a transverse row of rather short hairs, which, without interruption, is continued from right to left. The oral surface has in the lateral group 40—50 short spine-like hairs placed in a curved row; in the middle two distinct transverse rows, as seen in fig. 9 a. The groups I— II, in the longitudinal series, meet as in Euc. norv. under an angle; the groups III— IV have a smooth area in the middle, while the groups V— VI are compact The groups of hairs in front of the lamina labialis are in most respects like fig. 3 b, but the lateral posterior group is more elongate, and consists of fewer hairs. Remarks etc. Of this species I have only examined a single female, taken ^4/^ 1896 St. 118 68°27 Iv. N. 8°20 Iv. W. Closing net 1030 fathoms by the Ingolf Expedition; it is probably nearly related to E. barbala, but differs distinctly from it by the deep genital protuberance. 55. Euchaete bisinuata G. O. Sars.

The anterior division, which is distinctly twice as long as the urosome, is rather short and clumsy with the lateral corners regularly rounded. The genital somite is, seen from above, slightly asymmetrical with a well marked convexity in front, somewhat behind the base of the somite (text-figs 53 a— c). The ventral outline shows 3 characteristic lobes, as figured by Farran and ScotL The posterior border of the vulva is formed by a transverse, somewhat hollowed, ridge, which is gradually sloping forwards. In front of this, and on each side are a median and an anterior laminous process, of which the latter is the longer and thinner; the processes on the left side are comparatively shorter, and are placed more posteriorly; in ventral view they are seen to be turned towards the middle, thus partly covering the vulva. The third and fourth somites are almost smooth, and without any hairs below, in contrast to the fifth somite, which has ventrally a tuft of hairs; it is dorsally almost completely covered by the preceding tergite. The subapical seta is thinner but not very much longer than the St. 2, and it is not geniculated. The antenmdae extend almost to the tip of the anterior part; they are in the main like E. norv., but the segments 240^25 are just as long as segment 20, and 23 is a little longer than 16, which is as long as 17. The antennae and mandibulae do not show any features of interest. The Le i of the inax- iUulac bears 6 bristles of almost equal width basally, but the distal bristle is much shorter than the others, which are much longer thau tlie breadth of the maxillulae. The Li i has the usual 10 hairs anteriorly, but only two posteriorly; the Li II as well as Li III is well developed, and each bears a long seta. The basipodite III has 3 setae with short hairs, of which the distal is the longest. The Ri I has 2 rather slender and a single powerful seta, while the Ri II >= III have 4 powerful ones. The convexity of the exterior margin in the basal segment of the maxillae is just indicated (text-fig. 54 d). The /^j / has i84 COPEPODA only the limitation between Re I — II indicated, where the mnscle is fastened inwards; the articulation between the Re II and III is well marked anteriorly, but only indistinctly so posteriorly (text-fig. 54 e). The exterior border has a well marked concavity (as shown in Farran's fig. 18 in contrast to Scott's fig. 15) and a long and slender Se i, almost reaching the base of Se 2. The pes II is like the figures of the two authors; the Se Re II scarcely reaches the end of the Se i Re III, and Se 2 Re III scarcely reaches the end of Se 3. The epistoma and the anterior surface of the lahruDi are scarcely different from those of E. norv. The oral surface of the labruiii (fig. 1 1 a) a b c e shows a distinct difference from that of E. norv.^ as is realised by comparing fig- ures; the most characteristic feature is the lateral position of the first group, in front of which, behind the marginal fringe, a granular area is found. The usual spinous area behind the median spot Nr. 4 is wanting. The laiiii/ia labialis is, as seen in fig. II b, somewhat different from E. norv., but more interesting is the large lateral group of hairs almost completely fused with the median group, situated in front of the lamina. The lobus labialis has the posterior lateral group well developed. d*. Size: 4-8 mm.; anterior division (2'2 + i'4) = 3'6 nmi. ; urosome 1-2 mm. The body is rather clumsy, and about 3 times as long as the urosome; no dif- ference was found between the lateral corners on the right and left side, and no tooth was observed.

The Le I has, in addition to the 5 long setae, a delicate basal one, and the Basp. has only a single seta. The Basp. II of the maxillipcds has in the lob IV only a single hair in addition to a hooked clumsy organ surrounded by delicate hairs (fig. 11 c). The pes I has no Se in the first segment, which is well separated from the second by a com- plete articular membrane; the Se 2, which is short and strong, is placed on the somewhat produced exterior corner of Re II. The pes II has, in contrast to the female, the Se Re II very short COPEPODA 185 and the Se 2 Re III does not reach the end of the segment. The pes V (fig. 54 f) resembles in most respects that of E. norv. The Ri dext. is long and slender, consisting of a single segment, bnt divided into two, about equal, divisions (of which the posterior is the more slender) by an exterior rounded emi- nence, which is indicated in E. glacialis. The Re I (v^ II of the right leg, which is 1-5 as long as the Re III, shows by an indistinct incision indication of subdivision into a ba.sal and a terminal segment; a small Se Re I is found. The Ri sin., which is short and club-shaped, shows trace of segmentation only towards the tip, and has terminally a very minute spine. The tip of the left exopodite is, as seen by comparing the figures (PI. VI figs 11 d— e), hke that of E. norv.^ but differs distinctly by the short and clumsy form of the serrated interior lobe with two distal rows of larger and smaller teeth con- verging towards the end, and by the comparatively long hairy appendage (text-fig. 54 f). Y^ (St. V). Size: $ 4-11 mm.; anterior division (2-09 -|- I'Oi) = 3-1; urosome I'Oi mm. In two female specimens the first abdominal somite is distinctly produced below, in a single male scarcely so (text-figs 54 g — h). The measurements of the antenniilae and the structure of pes I — II are scarcely different from those of adult females. The pes V c? does not provide features of great interest (text-fig. 54 j). Y$ (St. IV). Size: 3-36 mm.; anterior division 2'5 mm.; posterior o-86 mm. A single female, which ought perhaps to be referred to tliis species, was examined. Occurrence. The S/S Thor has taken 'V7 1904 St. 183 61^30 L. N. i7°o8 Iv.W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire 9f?, 4fc?, 2y? (V), I yd' (V), i y? (IV). It has previously been recorded by Sars from several stations, from the Monaco Expedition, by Far ran "in small numbers at three stations" off the west coast of Ireland as far north as 55° N. (io°45 W.) "at depths between 700 and and 1150 fathoms", and by Scott, taken by the Siboga Exp., from 5 stations (i — 2 specimens) in considerable depths. Remarks. As the described males and females were found together, as they corresponded fairly well to each other in size, and as I did not find any species to which the males are more naturally referred, I have referred them to the same species, in spite of a rather curious difference found in the structure of pes I. The young specimens, on account of rounded lateral corners, size and similar structure of pes I— II, were referred to the same species. In spite of minor differences from Sars' and Scott's descriptions, scarcely any doubt can exist, that the specimens examined by the different authors belong to the same species. 56.

The vulva is surrounded by a chicinous system distinctly more complicated than figured by Wo If en den; more exteriorly, along the lower margin, is found on each side a chitinous plate pointing forwards, which, somewhat in front of the middle, possesses a short, rounded process (cf. Wolfenden). As stated by Wolfe nden, in contrast to Sars and Farran, hairs were found on the ventral surface in the third and fourth abdominal somites in most specimens. The antennulae extend scarcely to the end of the thorax; the appendages are scarcely different from those of E. norv., and the measurements are not very characteristic; the segment 20 is as long as the segment 24 ' c. 250.

It has once been recorded from the Norwegian Sea in a depth of about 400 M., and from the west coast of Ireland at a deptli lying between 280 and 680 fathoms, and always rather scarce. Remarks. Though the males and the female were found at widely separated localities, I am fairly convinced that they belong to the same species, and without doubt to S'. brcvicornis. As the male described by Scott is only 1-5 mm., and as the fifth pair of legs seems to differ in several respects, I am not convinced that it ought to be referred to this species. I am fairly convinced that Farran's species S. gracilipts^ which was established with due reservation especially on account of "the more distal position occupied b\- the outer-edge tooth of the second joint of the fifth foot," is identical with thi.s. Farran has (p. 53) found a rudimentary endopodite, like that observed in specimens of i'. magnus (cf. p. 191) in a specimen of his Scolecithrix gracilipes as well as of his 6". valida^ which he regards as an anormality. In this, as well as in his opinion of Giesbrecht's genus Racovttzanus, I agree with him (cf. Wolfenden 1911 p. 259). 61. Scaphocalanus obtusifrons G. O. Sars. (PI. VII figs 9a — d; PI.

Sars. Farran, p. 54. Description, f^. Size of specimen from Thor St. 72 was 4-4 mm.; anterior division 3*55 ; uro- some 0-85 mm. Sars' .specimens measured 5-6 mm., Farran's 4-3 mm. and Scott's 45 mm. The shape of the body etc. is scarcely different from Farran's description; each filament of the rostrum is as stated by Sars and Scott terminally bifurcate (text-fig. 59a). The genital somite is sHghtly produced below, and has a well developed curved receptaculum (PI. VIII fig. 8 a). The antcnmiles^ which extend a little beyond the end of the furca, are in measurement almost exactly like Farran's figures; the segments 24 and 25 are fairly well separated, the proximal seta is wanting in segni. 10 as well as in 17, and the Sp. of segment 24, which is placed near the tip, extends only slightly beyond the end of segment 25. The exopodite is distinctly longer than the endopodite of the antennae, and this has 7 setae in the Li of the second segment and 5 setae in the Le. The Diai/di- hilae are scarcely different from those of S. iiiagnus. The iiinxilhilac are like Farran's figure, with 8 setae in the exopodite and 7 long setae and a shorter more delicate one in Le. The maxillar have the COPEPODA iQc exterior margin distinctly produced, and have, in addition to powerful vermiform sensory appendages, at least 5 amalliform or brush-shaped ones. The maxillipeds are like those of 5. magnus, and have, in contrast to Farran's, a sensory seta in the middle of the second basipodite. 'Y\i^ first pair of legs has, as stated by Far ran (fig. 14 PI. VII), a well developed Se in Re I, attaining the middle of Re II. The second pair of legs is in main features like Farran's fig. 15 (of. text- fig. 60 b), but the outer marginal tooth of the second basipodite is well developed, and the inner margin is near the tip produced into a short curved tooth; the arrangement of the spines on the posterior surface differs only in minor details, f. inst. by the presence of spines in Re I, but in addition to the spines areas of short teeth were found on the posterior surface of the exopodite; the anterior surface seems to be smooth; the first inner segment has a well developed Se; the St of the third outer segment has about 70 partly fused teeth (fig. 9 a) without the characteristic basal fenestra. Glandular pores seem to be present in Re II and III. The third pair of legs has the inner margin of the second basipodite, a little proximally to the Si, produced into a longer or shorter, generally broken, styliform process, corresponding to that of the second pair of legs; this process is beset inwards as well as terminally by the most distally placed marginal bristles, and in this way forms a prolongation of the inner margin proper; the third basipodite is anteriorly and terminally produced into a distinct slender spine medial to the insertion of the endo- podite (text-fig. 60 c), like that of Scottocalanus. On the anterior surface of the third feet, except in the third outer segments, a delicate spinulation is foimd; the spinulation of the posterior surface is like Farran's description, but a basal Text-fig. 60. ScaphocaianusobtusifronsQ..o.^^r','Lri. a. Head X 33- b. Pes II sin in ant. view X 58. group is found in the third outer segment. The fourth c. Pes IV sin in ant. \aew x 58. pair of legs (text-fig. 60 c) has the second basipodite very clumsy without marginal bristles, and is suddenly restricted near the tip; on the posterior surface trans- versely placed .short spines were observed in Ri II, and in a less' degree in Ri III, but the anterior surface is covered all over with areas of more or less delicate teeth; the serrations of the terminal setae are more or less fused in the middle; a glandular pore is observed not only in Re II and III, but in Re I as well. The fiftii pair of legs has the exopodite divided into a short basal and a longer, somewhat enlarged outer segment, possessing a shorter terminal and a longer more proximal seta. The anterior portion of the labrnvi proper is distinctly more produced in front than seen in fig. 8 a of 5. i/iagiiiis; the arrangement of the setae is, as seen in fig. 9 b, rather characteristic; the an- terior curved group of long delicate setae is posteriorly on each side divided into an outer and inner portion; in the middle an anteriorly convex row is found; for further details I refer to the figure. The oral surface of the labrum (PL VII fig. 9 e) .shows a rather characteristic structure, bearing most resemblance to that oi Scottocalanus; the first oblique group of the longitudinal series is smaller than in .S'. magnus, and it is followed by two or three more or less fused groups of fairly long setae, between which the transverse median rows are placed, behind the mentioned groups an oblique one of more slender hairs, corresponding to the square one of ^: viagnus is found. Laterally, in front, two groups of delicate hairs are found. No distinct lamina Inbialis was observed; in front of the serrula 6-dentata an 25* 196 COPEPODA inner and an outer longitudinal series were found (PI. VII fig. gd); the arrangement of hairs Ijetween and behind the serrulae was not studied in details. In the middle, between the labial lobes, a large median o-roup of setae was found, which on each lobe is continued into two lateral series placed closely to each other; more laterally, well separated from this system, a lateral row of shorter setae, starting from a basal group, was observed. The intestinal tract is anteriorly produced into a rather slender rostral coecal sac; posteriorly the wide stomach is attenuated, and is, somewhat in front of the abdomen, continued through a slight curvature into the straight intestine proper. f<^. Size of specimen from Thor St. 180 was 3-84 mm.; anterior division 2-65; urosome 1-19 mm. The body is somewhat more slender than in the female, with rounded lateral corners of the well marked short fifth somite; the rostral filaments are scarcely different. The /^wi-WA/r is almost half as long as the anterior division, and the comparative length of its .somites is 23, 40, 34, 44 and 4 (PI. VIII fig. Be). The aiifeniiu/ac scarcely extend to the end of the furca; the number of free segments is scarcely different from that found in S. ii/agiiiis\ but the seg- ments 13 and 15 are partly fused with the preceding- ones, as the articular line is wanting behind; the measurements and the appendages are ver\' much like those of S. globiceps. The antciinoc and iiiondi- biilac are scarcely different from those of X magims. The Diaxillulae are fairly well developed; the Le possesses 9 setae; the Li I has at least 8 rather delicate setae, the Li II has 2 setae and the Li III has 4 setae; the third basipodite lias 4 setae; and the Ri 2 + 5 setae; the exopodite has as in the female 8 setae. The maxillae are fairly developed, with 4 setae in each of the four proximal lobes; the lobe V has one spine somewhat stronger than the corresponding one of the lobe IV; the endopodite has 6 soft sensory setae, but not amalliform ones, the maxillipcds are like those of the male of S. viagniis^ but no setae were observed in the middle of the second basipodite. The natatory legs show in all features of interest complete similarity to those of the female. T\ie. Ji/th pair of legs is verj' characteristic, as seen in text-fig. 61 a; on the right side (PI. VIII fig. 8 c) we have a long and slender first basal segment, followed by a well enlarged second segment. The right endopodite (text-fig. 61 b) is. rather short, somewhat clavate, and has a slender, delicate seta almost half as long as the segment; the right exopodite consists of three long slender one.s, of which the first is much the longer and thicker, while the third, somewhat plate-shaped one, is the shortest and most slender (text-fig. 61 c). The two basal segments on the left side are, like those of S. magnits, long and slender; the left exopodite has 3 segments (text-fig. 61 d), of which the third one, which is much the shortest, is distinctly attenuated, with a terminal seta; the left endopodite is long and slender and extends distinctly beyond the end of the exopodite.

Size of specimen (male as well as female) from Thor St 152 was 3-65 mm.; anterior division 2'96mm. ; urosome 0-69 mm. The abdomen has four somites, but in other respects scarcely any difference was observed from the adult females, except by the better developed articulation of the exopodite of the fifth pair of legs in the females (fig. 8e). The fifth pair of legs of the males is clumsy, and most similar to that of Scottocalaims, but has the setae better developed (fig. 8 d PI. VIII). Occurrence. The Ingolf Expedition has not gathered this species, but the vS/S Thor has brought it home from several localities. In Denmark Strait it was found : -"/e 1904 St. 154 65°27 L. N. 27°io L.

"This species is a noticeable feature of the deep water plankton off the west coast of Ireland" "at depths of from 330 to 1150 fathoms" (Farran); it has been taken by the Monaco Ex- pedition as well as in the Malay Archipelago. Remarks. That this species is identical with Farran's Sc. emarginata is scarcely doubtful; Far- ran's specimens were identified by Sars with his A. obtusifrons, which is, however, distinctly bigger and has the fifth feet somewhat different "muni en dedans d'une epine assez forte et allongee, et en autre de 2 petits denticnles, I'un apical, I'autre sortant du bord exterieur". It differs from Scott's de- scription by the wanting delicate spinulation of the posterior surface of the fourth exopodite. This species is nearly related to, if not identical with, Wolf en den's 5. aeqitalis from the South Atlantic (191 1, p. 255), as well as with S. inoriiafa Esterly (1906, p. 67), but the descriptions are too insuf- ficient for solving the question. The species is characterised by the robust shape of the body and the antennnlae, which are longer than the body, without Spr. in segment 17, and without setae in segment 10. The Se Re I pes I is comparatively short, and only attains the middle of the following segment, while the Se Ri I pes II is long and pointed. The St. Re III pes II has about 70 partly fused teeth. The inner terminal seta of the anterior surface of Basp. Ill— IV is well developed, long and slender. The second basipodite of the third pair of legs has a distinct lateral tooth, but no spinous lamina. igS COPEPODA 52. Scaphocalanus validus Farran. (PI. VII figs II a— b; text-figs 62 a— f.) 1908.

Farran's specimens measured 3-8 — 3-95 mm. The body is more slender, and the head less suddenly raised in lateral view than in S. obhisi- frons, but more distinctly so than in .5". globiccps (text-figs 62 a — b). The rostrum is most like that of the former species, with the basal part less enlarged and with fairly long, apparently undivided, filaments. The lateral corners are slightly produced and rounded (text-fig. 62 c). The genital somite is better produced below, and its receptaculum seminis appears more slender than in the preceding species ; the comparative length between the abdominal somites and the furcal rami is 45, 28, 25, 9 and 17; the furcal rami are 1-5 as long as wide; along the hinder border of somites II — 1\' a marginal seam with delicate serrations is observed. The ant£7inulai' do not reach the end of the furca; the segments 24 — 25 are fairly well separated ; "^sthetasken" are found in segments 80^9, 12, 14 and 19; the segment 10 has a distinct seta, and a proximal seta is found in segments 12 — 14 18, and sometimes in segment 15, but never in segment 17; the Sp. of segment 24 is somewhat longer than segment 25.

The niaxilUw and maxillipeds are scarcely different from Farran's description. The first pair of legs has the Se Re I extending to the base of Se Re II; in the outer edge of the Re III, proximally to the middle, a distinct glandular pore is found, better developed than in other species. The second pair of legs (text-fig. 62 d| is like Farran's fig. 16 PI. V; the Se of Ri I is rather short and clumsy, and the St. of Re III has about 35 serrations, some of which are fused at their base (text-fig. 62 fi; the anterior surface of the appendage is minutely granular, and the posterior one has, in addition to the usual spines, areas of smaller teeth. No glandular pores were observed. The tfiird pair of legs (text-fig. 62 e) has no distinct st^liform process at the inner margin of the second basipodite, and the slender terminal tooth of the anterior surface of the third basipodite medial to the insertion of the endopodite is very short and clums}- ; the posterior surface of the third basipodite has a number of short spines in contrast to that of the second foot, which is smooth; in other respects this pair is like that of the preceding species. The /o/tri/i pair of legs has a long and slender second COPEPODA igg basipodite without marginal setae. The fifth pair of legs is like Farran's figure, with a long and strong inner seta, a rather short terminal seta, and a very delicate outer one; all segments are fused, but the two basal ones are indicated. The anterior portion of the labritm is, in lateral \iew, less prominent than in preceding species; in front of the labrum proper behind the transverse line, which limits the antennal somite, a tuft of long setae is found. The arrangement of setae on the anterior surface of the labniin iPl. VII fig. II ai is, as seen by comparing figures (cf. gb), like that of S. obfnsifroiix^ but the lateral posterior group is better developed, and the central group has only a few setae. The oral surface of the labrum is most like that of .S". globicips (PL VII fig. loa), but the granular area in front has much smaller granules, and it is much smaller. The structure of the lamina labialis etc. is completely like that of 5". globiceps. Yd' (St. V). Size of young male from Thor St. 183 was 3-25 mm.; anterior division 2'5i mm.; urosonie 074 mm. The only difference, except the usual one in the shape af the abdomen, is found in the more obtuse inner tooth of the third basipodite of the fourth foot. The segment 10 of the aiitenniilae has a seta, but the segment 17 has no proximal seta. The fifth pair of legs is more .slender than in ^9. nb- tusifrons, but is alike in other respects. Occurrence etc. The S/S Thor has gathered the species at a single station viz: ''/y 1904 St. 183 6i°30 L. N. i7°o8 L. W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire 5 i% 2 yd* (V). It has only been recorded once by Farran, who has examined six specimens, taken at a depth of 700 fathoms off the west coast of Ireland. As to the differences from the related species I refer to S. globiceps. The species is characterized by anten- nulae about as long as the body, with a seta in segment 17. The Se of Re I pes I is fairh' long and slender, and the Se Ri I pes II is rather short and obtuse. The St. of Re III pes II has 35 partly fu,sed teeth. The inner terminal seta of the anterior surface of Basp. Ill pes III— IV is only poorly developed. The second basipodite of the third pair of legs has no spinous lamina. 63.

Farran's specimens measured 4-3 — 4-5 mm. The body is more slender, and the abdomen comparatively longer than in the preceding species; the fifth thoracic tergite is somewhat produced, but rounded. The rostral branches, arising from a short basal part, are almost straight, stiff and fairly long, apparently longer than the pointed slender fila- ments (text-fig. 63 a). The genital somite is onh- slightly produced below, and has an elongate, distally not enlarged, receptaculum seminis (text-fig. 63 b). The comparative length between the abdominal somites is 53, 35, 30 and 10. The serration along the posterior margin of the somites is distmct, at least dorsalh-. The anfriiuiilar extend to the end of the furca; the appendages differ from those of 200 COPEPODA S.vah'dtis by the presence of a proximal seta in segment 17; the measurement is like that of the pre- ceding species, but for the segments 8'>3 9 and 19 which are of equal length. The manducatory part has 3 setae in the third basipodite, but in other respects the /i/ai/dibulae as well as the antennae and niaxillulae are scarcely different from those of the preceding species. The maxillae and inaxillipeds show, as pointed out by Far ran, a few rather unimportant differences. The first pair of legs is scarcely different from Farran's description, and the second pair is very similar as well; the Se of the first outer segment is short and i-obust; the anterior surface of the third basipodite as well as of the two branches is covered all over with areas of small spinules; on the posterior surface the number of teeth is like F"arran's fig., but a patch of distinct teeth is found near the apex of the third basipodite. The terminal seta is adorned with about 20, well separated, coarse serrations. A glandular pore was observed at the base of Se 3 Re III. The third pair of legs has, along the exterior border of the second basipodite, a low lamina, which, in the middle, has a row of 15— 20 fairly long spines not observed in the other species, and most distinct when observed in situ; the spinulation, especially of the anterior surface, is better marked than in the second pair; on the posterior surface of the third basipodite it is scarceh' better developed. The inner tooth of the anterior surface of the third basipodite is short and rounded. The second basipodite of the foiirtli pair of legs is comparatively less slender tlian in tlie preceding species; the inner tooth of the third basipodite is just indicated; the spinulation of the anterior surface of the basipodites as well as of the first outer and inner segments is well developed ; the distal segments of the exopodites as well as the endopodites are wanting, fext-fig. 63. 'pjjp fifth pair of legs is scarcely different from Farran's description. Scaphocalanus glohiceps Farran. f9. The anterior surface of the labrmn seems, in most respects, to be like a. Head X 33 ^- Ge- jj^^j gf _(,• obtusifrons (PL VII fig. 9 b), but the oral surface differs distinctly from nital .somite X 33- that species (PI. VII fig. 10 a, cf. fig. 9 c); the most characteristic feature is found in the distinct spinulation behind the marginal setae around the two first median circular spots and as far lateral as the first well developed group of short spines; as to the other features I refer to the figure. The laviina labialis is scarcely indicated; in front of it, the usual inner and outer row is seen (fig. 10 b); posteriorly, between the serrula 6-dentata, a median group of short spines is found, as well as a paired one more behind. In the middle, behind the labial lobe, two more or less separated groups of shorter and longer hairs are found, laterally continued into a wide oblique row along the inner margin of the lobe. More laterally the lobe possesses an angle-shaped series of densely placed hairs as well as a basal group without direct connection. fc?. Size of specimen from Thor St. 180 was 4-44 mm. ; anterior division 2-99; urosome 1-45 mm. The body is somewhat more slender than in the female, and the abdomen is about half as long as the anterior division; the comparative length of the abdominal somites is 15, 45, 40, 45, 4 and 14; the furcal rami are about 1.3 as long as wide. The antcnmilac reach somewhat be)'ond the end of the third abdominal somite; the segment 13 is fairly well separated from 12, and segment 14 from 15, but segments 20 and 21 are completely fused on the right side, but well separated on the left; beyond segments 8<^9 2 setae were found only in segments 12 and 14. vSegmeut 22 is 1-4 shorter than seg- COPEPODA 20I iiient 19. The mouth-appendages are comparatively slightly transformed; the third basipodite of the iiiandibulae has, in addition to a fairly long Se i and a quite rudimentary Si 2, a small rounded process. The iiiaxilhdae and the niaxillnc are scarcel\- less developed than in the female; the iiiaxillipcds are comparatively less slender, but tlie amalliform seta of the second basipodite is well developed as in the female. The natatory legs are practically like those of the female, but the spinulation, especially, of the anterior surface is less developed, and the medial terminal tooth of the anterior surface of the fourth pair of legs is better developed; the terminal seta of Re III pes II has about 60 serrations. Along the outer margin of the second basipodite of the third pair of legs, a lamina with a row of short spines is found. T\\& Ji/th pair of legs, which in natural position is seen to extend a little beyond the end of the abdomen is very much like that of S. obtusifrojis. The right endopodite (PL VIII fig. 9 b) is rather short, distally somewhat triangularly produced, and rather suddenly attenuated to a fairly long spine. The right basipodite (fig. 9 a) is, outwards, produced into a long process which is fused with the first outer segment; a terminal process of somewhat triangular shape, as in S. i/iagiiHs, as well as a median one is observed; the second outer segment is rather short and somewhat curved, and the third one is short, flat, slightly curved and somewhat attenuated (fig. 9 a). The basipodites of the left foot are long and slender; the comparatively short and slender endopodite is slightly curved, and indistinctly divided into two proximal segments of about equal length as well as a short third segment with a fairly slender terminal seta beyond a rounded process. The left exopodite is comparatively long and clumsy; its first segment is the longer, and has two triangular processes, while the third one is the shortest, and hairy (PL VII fig. lib). Yq (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 3-49 mm.; anterior division 271; urosome 078 mm. The shape of the body shows the usual difference from that of the adult female; the distal segments of the antennulae are comparatively longer; the segment 19 is i-i as long as segments So-* 9; the fifth jDair of legs is somewhat smaller, but in other respects scarcely different.

The species has only been recorded twice by Farran off the we.st coast of Ire- land at 1000 and at 700 fathoms. Remarks. This species is certainly identical with Farran's species, as they do not differ in any features of interest. Though, as far as the description goes, it agrees completely with Sars' ScotcciY/in- cella gracitis, especially in the structure of the fourth pair of legs, I prefer to refer it to Farran's species, as it is well distinguished from Scolecitricella according to Sars' own definition. The described male, which is well distinguished from that of .5". obtusifrons by its long and more slender fifth foot, I have, on full consideration, referred to this species rather than to S. validns with The Ingolf-Expedition. III. .\. 202 COPEPODA which it agrees in a few features, on account of its size and the spinous lamina along the outer margin of the second basipodite of the third foot. Scaphocalanus globiceps, obtusifrons, validiis and robnstus seem to be nearly related, and are, without detailed investigation rather difficult to distinguish from each other. In contrast to Scott, who refers them to Scolecithricella, I follow vS a r s, and regard them as more nearly related to Scaphocalanus niag- nus, with which they agree by the number of segments in the antennulae, by the appendages of the maxillae, and b\' the structure of the fifth foot in the male. About the differences between S. robiisfiis and globiceps I refer to the former species. The female of S. globiceps is characterised by slender shape comparatively short antennulae, which have a single setae in segment lo and a vSpr. in segment 17. Se Re I pes I is long and slender, and Se Ri I pes II is short and clumsy. St. Re III pes II has about 20 well separated teeth. The inner terminal seta of the anterior surface of Basp. Ill pes III — \\ is only poorly developed. The second basipodite of the third pair of legs has, laterally, a spinous lamina. 64. Scaphocalanus robustus Th. Scott.

Scott's specimen measured 3 mm. and Farran's 2-65 — 3-1 mm. The rostrum has rather short filaments (text-fig. 64 a). The head is distinct!) raised, and the body is rather robust; the first thoracic somite is fiised with the head, and the fourth and fifth thoracic somites with each other; the lateral corners are slightly produced and rounded. The genital somite is onh- slightly produced below; the receptaculum seminis i.*; elongated and slender, but rather short (text-fig. 64 b). The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 33, 20, 18 10 and 14; the genital somite is almost as wide and deep as long, and the furcal rami are a little longer than wide. The serration along the hinder margin of somites 2 — 4 is well developed. The antennulae extend to the end of the genital somite; the limitation between segments 24 and 25 is rather indistinct; the appendages are like those of S. globiceps, with a single seta in segment 10, and 2 in segment 17. The measurements are similar to those of the preceding species; the segments 19 and 16 are almost of equal length, and 1-3 as long as segments 8^9, which are, again, a little shorter than segment 15. The anfennae, mandibulae, niaxilliclae and iiiaxillipeds are like those found in S. globiceps. The maxillae possess 4 amalliform and 4 vermiform sensory appendages. When the natatory legs sitting on the animal are examined from the side, a curious difference is found between the 3 first pairs and the fourth pair of legs in the basipodites as in related species; the posterior surface of the three first pairs is seen to be excavated, while that of the fourth pair appears cylindric, and in lateral view is almost twice as deep as that of the third foot. T\\& first foot is very much like that of S. globiceps, but the Se Re I scarceh- extends to the end of Re II (text-fig. 64 c). The second foot has the outer-edge spine of the first outer segment long and sickle-shaped, and the outer-edge spine of the first inner segment short and rounded; the St has 30 short, well separated COPEPODA 203 teeth; the armature of the anterior and posterior surface is scarceh- different from that of S. globiceps. The third pair of legs is like those of the preceding species, but the outer-edge spinous lamina of the second basipodite is wanting, and the posterior surface of the third basipodite has a patch of strong spines, wanting in the second pair. The four ffi pair of legs is distinctly granular on the anterior sur- face, but has fairly long spines in a longitudinal area on the two inner segments in addition to the granulation; on the posterior surface of the two distal outer segments as well as on the distal inner one a few short spines are observed; on the posterior surface of the second inner segment a transverse row of 8 long spines is found. The /^//'// /r^'^*/ agrees fairly well with Scott's and Farran's description, but the articulation is very indistinct. The labrniii is comparatively slightly produced in front (PI. VII fig. 12 a). The arrangement of setae on the anterior surface is rather characteristic; in front a median group of fairly long bristles, 3 — 4 deep continued into a lateral group of a number of shorter hairs, extending laterally to in front of a posterior lateral group of densel)- placed hairs. In the middle, later- ally partlv fused with mentioned anterior group, a transverse series of comparatively few short setae. Add to this a marginal group of nu- merous bristles. The oral surface of the lahruvi (PI. VII fig. 12 b) shows some similarity to .S". validris^ and in a less degree to S. globiceps; the granular area around the first median circular spot is only small; the lateral marginal and the first lateral group form a fairly long oblique group, medially consisting of granules, and converging towards the second median circular spot; the following lateral groups are in the main like the structures in the preceding species. The arrangement of setae around the "lamina labialis" . and upon the labial lobes, is very much like that of S. globiceps. Variation. In the first right foot in one of the specimens a median outer-edge seta was ob- served in the third outer segment. Occurrence. The S/S Thor has collected three females of this species at the following stations: 19/6 1904 St. 152 65°oo L. N. 28°io L. W. Yt. 1000 M. Wire. ■V7 1904 St. 183 6i°30 L. N. i7°o8 L. W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire. Vg 1905 St. 167 57°47 L. N. ii°33 L. W. Yt. 1500 M. Wire. Distribution. This species has only been recorded twice, namely from the Gulf of Guinea in a gathering from 85 fathoms (5/^ 4°26 L. S. 10° L. E.), and from the west coast of Ireland "on four sta- tions at depths of from 400 to 680 fathoms". Remarks. Though this species differs from that described by Scott by less robust shape, by 4 for 5 amalliform setae of the maxillae, and by the slightly different shape of the fifth foot, it seems natural to regard the two as identical. It seems to be nearly related to S. obttisi/rons, but differs by a more robust shape, bv the structure of the third pair of legs, and by the longer antennulae. 26* Text-fig. 64.

Size of specimen from Ingolf St. 40 was 1-52 mm.; anterior divi.sion 1-22 mm.; urosome 03 mm. Sars's specimens measured 1-40 mm. The antennulae extend slightly beyond the end of the thorax; the segments i and 2 are in- distinctly separated, and so are segments 24 and 25; the segments Sf^g are almost completely fused with 10. The Sp of segment 24 is placed terminally, and extends distinctly beyond the end of segment ;, 1, c 25. The month-limbs are completely like Sars' figures, and so are the natatory legs; the second basipodite of the fourth pair of legs has 3 — 4 rather stiff, marginal setae. In lateral view the third as well as the fourth foot has in the second basipodite an outer-edge lamina, which terminally is produced into a small tooth, much big- ger in the fourth foot; this lamina has in the third pair, almost in the middle, about 5 rather .short and delicate teeth. The labniiii and area in front of it is in lateral view very much like Sars' figure PI. XXXVII; the labrum proper and its an- terior portion, which is only slightly prominent, have onh' a slightly pronounced concavity between them. The anterior surface of the labrum is like that of 6'. ovata (cf. PI. VII fig. 14 b); most anteriorly a transverse row of long slender bristles is found, continued laterally and posteriorly into a row of shorter setae; behind this, almost in the middle, a transverse row of shorter setae is found. The oral S7tr/ace of the labrum shows a great similarity to that of 5. ovata (cf. fig. 14 c), but the anterior lateral group is not well separated from the marginal setae, and the following group is not convex outwards, and is directed towards the second median circular spot. The rudimentary lamina labialis (PI. VII fig. 13 a) scarcely shows features of great interest. The arrangement of hairs upon and behind the labial lobes shows great similarity to PI. VII fig. 14 b, but the median and the lateral groups of hairs are fused. fc?. Size of specimen from Ingolf St. 40 was 1-34 mm.; anterior division 0-99 mm. ; uro,some 0-35 ram. Sars' specimens measured 1-40 mm. The antennulae are like Sars' figure, but segments 200^21 bear only a single seta not two. The mouth-appendages are very much like those of the female, except the mandibulae which have the third basipodite distinctly longer than wide, the maxillae which have the sensory setae better developed, and the maxillipeds which are shorter and more clums^•. The natatory legs are scarceh- different from those of the female. The fifth font is like Sars' description; the left endopodite COPEPODA 205 which is placed on a small protuberance, is short and clumsy, and indistinctly divided into two segments. Yq (St. V). Size of female from Ingolf St. 70 was 1-15 mm.; anterior division 090 mm.; urosome 0-25 mm. A yoiing male from same station measured 1-17 mm. The shape of the body is practicall\- like that of the adult females; the first as well as the fifth thoracic somites are fairly well marked in front. The antennnlae extend somewhat beyond the end of the body, but the measurements are scarcely different. The third and fourth feet are like those of the adult female, and so is the fifth foot, except for the very indistinct lateral seta. The only dif- ference between male and female is found in the structure of the fifth foot, which is seen in PI. VIII figs 10 a — b (textfigs 65 a— b). Yg (St. IV). Size of female as well as of male from Ingolf St. 19 was 0-95 mm.; anterior division 074 mm.; urosome 0'2i mm. The shape of the body is in main Hke adult female. The distal segments of the antennnlae are comparatively longer. The only difference between the sexes is found in the fifth pair of legs, the structure of which is seen in figures (text-fig. 65 c and PI. VIII fig. 10 c). Occurrence. Of this species the Ingolf Expedition has taken a big number of specimens while the S/S Thor has not taken any specimens in the samples taken with the young-fish trawl. In Davis Strait and in the Atlantic west of Greenland, the Ingolf Exp. has gathered it at 6 stations. 5/7 95 St. 29 63°34 L. N. 54°3i L. W. V'. 50—0 fathoms.

Scott it was recorded from the Gnlf of Guinea, and, according to Farran, it is fairly com- mon off the west coast of Ireland at depths of from 100 to 1000 fathoms; occasionally it has been found at or near the surface. According to Sars it is a true pelagic form (often occurring close to the sur- face of the sea), wliich is found along the greater part of the Norwegian coast as far north as Lofoten Islands, as well as sometimes in the open sea. In the sea between Spitzbergen and Greenland as far north as 8o°i7 L. N. the Due d'Orleans has gathered this species in 32 samples from about 80, between 7/7 and i5'8 1905, as well in cold as in temperate water. It was neither found at the very surface nor below 500 meters, but in 12 out of 14 samples taken at a depth of from 100 to 200 meters, gene- rally scarce never abundant; in 8 samples adult males as well as females were found at a depth of from 20 to 400 meters. Remarks. I have followed Sars in referring the northern form to Brady's species from the Indian Ocean, though his description is too incomplete for a certain identification. In spite of minor differences, f. inst. in the .shape of pes V of the adult female, I am fairly convinced that Mrazek's S. Rovieri is identical with this species. As the species has not been found, as far as I know, in any of the extensive collections from the vSouth- and Mid-Atlantic or Indian Oceans, I think we are entitled to regard this species as one which has its chief centre of distribution in the North-Atlantic and in a less degree in the Arctic seas cummunicating with it. It seems not to have been found in the North Sea proper or adjacent waters; may be on account of lower salinity. The records of the "Ingolf," which are all from the months Ma\- to July, and almost all with the vertical net down to about 100 fathoms, tell the same story as the above mentioned records of the Due d'Orleans; that the species in these regions and at this sea.son is only exceptionally found at the surface ; if it were not so, it must have been found in several of the numerous surface samples from the Ingolf or the Danish East-Greenland Exp. It is worth recording tliat the species was found in several surface samples gathered from the mentioned expedition in the month of September, south- west of the Faroes. The Ingolf material does not allow any final conclusion about the time of pro- pagation, but as adult males were found in 19 out of 24 samples (in a percentage varying from about 10 to 50) taken from May to Juh-, and as spermatophores were often attached to the genital somite of the female as well as sometimes to that of the male, it is almost certain that the species is propagating then. The Due d'Orleans found only males in 8 out of 32 samples. Adult males were gathered south- west of the Faeroes in the month of September. Young animals of the penultimate stage were found in most samples, except in those from the month of September. 66. Scolecithricella Ingolfii n. sp. (PL VIII figs II a— c). Description. i% The shape of the body is practically like that of S. minor; the head is perhaps a little more raised. The lateral corner is, like that of preceding species, somewhat triangularly produced. The antfiimdae and oral appendages are completely like those of X mnior. The first pair of legs is scarcely different; the first inner segment of the second foot has a 2o8 COPEPODA fairly distinct pointed onter spine; the outer-edge lamina of the third pair of legs has no spines. Along the inner margin of the second basipodite only two setae are observed ; the inner terminal tooth of the third basipodite is longer and more slender. The /f//// pair of legs is fairly well developed, with three indistinct segments (fig. iib); on the left side two indistinct terminal setae are found; on the right side the endopodite is indicated by a small process, and the exopodite has, inwards, a distinct spine. A similar asymmetric structure was also observed in a specimen from Ing. St. 19. In a spec- imen from lug. St. 9, the left leg had a somewhat better developed endopodite, and the exopodite had a terminal and an inner seta, fairly long and placed nearer the tip than the base. In the specimen from 0. Exp. 1900, the legs were symmetrical, and showed, as seen in PI. VIII fig. 11 c, a somewhat different structure. Occurrence.

Distribution etc. This species has previously been recorded only from the west coast of Ire- land, where it seems to be of frequent occurrence over deep water from the surface to 1000 fathoms, 1 1 I COPEPODA 2u but only in small numbers. In spite of small differences I do not doubt that my specimens ought to be referred to Farran's S. ovata. As the maxillae do not possess any amalliform setae, I have referred the species to Scolecithricella, though in several respects it shows great similarity to Scaphocalanus obtusifrons^ and perhaps is more related to this species than to .SV. minor. 68.

Size of female from Thor St. 72 was 6-45 mm.; anterior division 5-18 mm.; urosome 1-27 mm. Giesbrecht's specimen measured 6-6 mm., Scott's 7-4, and Wolfenden's 5-5— 60 mm. The genital somite is slightly produced below and has au elongate receptaculum seminis, which is directed upwards and forwards (text-fig. 66 a). Along the hinder margin of somites 2—4 a well devel- oped serration is found; the third and the fourth somites possess dorsally and anteriorly transverse groups of short spines. The antennulae, which extend beyond the end of the third abdominal somite, consist of 24 seg- ments, as segments 24 and 25 are fairly well separated, "^sthetasken" are, in contrast to Scott's figure, beyond segments 8<^9 onl)- found in segments 12, 14, 19 and 25. The segment 10 possesses a well developed seta, and a proximal seta is beyond segment 8^9 only found in segments 12, 14 and 18. The Sp of segment 24 e.xtends distinctl\- beyond the end of segment 25. Segments 8<^9 are only a little shorter than segment 18, which is a little longer than segment 17 as well as 19, which is i-2 as long as segment 20. The antennae are like Giesbrecht's figure, with the exopodite a little longer than the endopodite, which has 8 setae in the Li and 6 in the Le. The third basipodite of the iiian- dibulac has three long convex setae; the first inner segment has 2 setae, and the second has g. The maxillulae are like those of 5. iiiagnus, with 7 + 2 setae in L,e, 14 setae in Li I, 2 in Li II, 5 in Li III and 4 or 5 in basipod. III. The Ri I has 3 setae, the Ri II f^^ III 5 setae, and the Re has 9 setae. The .shape of the maxillae is like that of fig. 14 a; amalliform as well as vermiform setae are found. The maxillipeds are like Giesbrecht's description. The second, third and fourth pairs of legs do not show the marked difference in the second basipodite when observed in lateral view in situ; in the second and third feet an outer-edge lamina is found, but neither spines nor distal tooth. The first outer segment of the first foot has no outer seta. The second foot has a well developed long outer spine in the first inner segment, as figured by Giesbrecht; the anterior surface is smooth, but the posterior surface has a number of short spines, as seen in fig. 7 a PI. VII. Tht fourth pair of legs has the inner margin of the second basipodite smooth; the third basipodite has, like the third pair, a small inner tooth on the anterior surface near the end ; a few teeth were found only on the posterior surface of the two inner segments. The fiftli pair of legs is scarcely different from Giesbrecht's description. 27* 312 COPEPODA k * O - The lahruiii is, as seen in Wolfenden's fig. 41, more elongated than that of ^'. wagiuis (PI. VII fig. 8 a), and strongly produced in front; the hinder portion of the labrum is, as in most other species, marked by an anteriorly convex line. I am fairly convinced that the anterior as well as the posterior portion of the labrum belongs to the mandibular and not to the antennal somite ; the anterior portion, accordingly, does not correspond to the epistoma of Euchatc. The arrangement of bristles on the anterior surface is very characteristic (PL \'II fig. 7 b). In the middle, most anteriorly, is a forward convex row of about 30 long bristles. A little more posteriorly we have on each side a long row extending laterally from the middle in front towards near the hinder margin; the setae of this row are decreasing in length posteriorly; the right and the left parts establish an acute angle open posteriorly, and, thus include a more posterior row, forming a more obtuse angle, of shorter setae. In addition to the marginal setae, posteriorh' irregular groups of short setae are foinid on each side. The oral surface of the labrum is rather characteristic, the first group is poorly developed, consisting of small granules and is well separated from the groups 2 — 4, which are more or less fused and consist of fairly strong, densely placed setae; behind, a group of small granules is observed (fig. 7 c, which is turned upside down). A lamina labialis (fig. 7 d PL VII), consisting of a median and two lateral parts, is found. In front of the serrula 6-dentata are two rather irregular rows of delicate setae, as seen in figure. Between the serrulae at least two groups of short spines and a longitudinal row are seen on each side. The lobus labialis possesses a wide inner row of numerous hairs, and an outer one of few hairs; both rows start posteriorly from a median group consisting of an inner portion with numerous densely placed hairs, and an outer portion with scattered hairs. More posteriorly and laterally, two groups of a few hairs as well as irregularly placed hairs are found. The intestinal tract is curiously twisted. In front of the oesophagus a short coecal sac is observed ; behind, the stomach is gradually attenuated, and forms a slight ventral convexity. At the insertion of the third pair of legs the intestine is suddenly, in a sharp bend, turned upwards and directed forwards, being thus placed dorsally to the mentioned part; somewhat in front of the maxillipeds it is continued through a second curvature into the intestine proper.

The body is slender and attenuated in front as well as behind; in dorsal view, scarcely in lateral, a trace of rostrum, is observed. The rostrum is on each side continued into two fairlv long: COPEPODA 213 and slender spines (text-fig. 67 a). The fifth tlioracic somite is well distinguished in front, and the regularly rounded lateral corners are scarcely produced. The abdomen is one third as long as the anterior division; the comparative length of the abdominal somites and the fnrca is 18, 67, 53, 48, 10 and 18. The antennulae extend at least to the end of the third abdominal somite ; the shape is similar to that of ^". magmis, but the proximal part is straighter, the restrictions at the base of the basal segments are less pronounced, and the angle between segments 14 and 15 in less marked. Segments 8<>3 9 are almost completely fused with 10—12, segments 20 and 21 and 24 — 25 are completely fused. The appendages are scarcely different from those of S. viagnns\ the segment 20 does not possess any setae. The segments 8'>ii2 are i-i as long as segments 23 — 25, not, as in 6". ywa^w?/^ and related species, much (1-5) .shorter, and segment 22 is 1-2 shorter than segment 19. The antenna are scarcely different from those of adult females, and the mandibulac are very much like, but the manducatory parts are less powerful, and the third basipodite is comparatively wider, with two short setae inwards, and a more distally placed knob representing a third one. The \a I of the inaxillulae is fairly well developed, and has at least 12 rather short and soft setae; in Li III only 4 setae were observed, but in other respects scarcely any difference was observed. The ii/axilluc have the sensory appendages, especialh- the amalliform ones, slightly developed; the maxillipeds are like those of S. magnus. The natatory legs are scarcely different from those of the female. The Jiftli pair of legs extends almost to the end of the abdomen, and shows great similarity to that of S. magnus. The right endopodite, which extends somewhat be>ond the end of the first outer segment, is styliform, with the terminal part fairly well articulated. The right exopodite (text-fig. 67 c) has the first segment articulated upon a long outer process of the third basipodite as long as the segment itself; the two pieces form a natural joint, elongated and outwards convex; the second outer segment is much shorter than the first; the third somewhat lamelliform segment is again somewhat longer, convex inwards, with a distinct angular process in the middle directed forwards, and produced into a pointed eminence, at the base of which a small conical process is found. The basal segments of the left leg are long and slender, and of almost equal length; the left endopodite (text-fig. 67 d) is like that of 5. magnns, with the two first segments long and slender, and the third rather .short and pointed; the left exopodite is somewhat shorter than the endopodite, and its third segment is triangularly attenuated, with fairly long setae inwards and terminally and short ones outwards. The anterior snrfacr of the labruin is very much like that of the female; anteriorly three irregular series of apparently very short setae are found; the series along the hinder margin is wanting. The oral surface has anteriorly a small conical process on each side, behind which at least two striated median spots are found; on each side an irregularh- striated protuberance was found; no hairs were Text-fig. 67.

The laviina labialis seems to be represented by a transverse crest; in front of it on each side a longitndinal area of very minute hairs is found, and behind, a serrnla 6-dentata consisting of rather short setae is observed. The labial lobes are well developed, but no setae are observed upon them. Yq (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 72 was 4-88 mm.; anterior division 3-80 mm.; urosome i-o8 mm. Male from the same station measured 5-37 mm. The )oung animals are in most respects like those of the adult females; the fifth thoracic ter"-ite is distinctly marked out (text-fig. 66 c). The only difference is found in the structure of the fifth foot, which in one female was scarcely different from that of the adult, while in another, probably a variation, the distal outer seta is comparatively short, but in addition to it another proximal one is observed, and the endopodite is indicated by a short rounded process (text-fig. 66b). In the male the setae are short, and a long endopodite is found (text-figs 66 b— d). Yq (St. IV). Size of male from Thor St. 167 was 3-48 mm.; anterior division 2-90 mm.; urosome 0-58 mm. The shape of the body shows the usual differences; the lateral corners are slightly more produced (text-fig. 66 e). The mouth-limbs are scarcely different, but the 3 last natatory legs have the number of segments reduced; the second foot, f. inst, has the 2 last outer segments fused with 3 outer spines onlv; the number of teeth on the posterior surface is smaller. The fi/f// /oof of the female has 3 seg- ments, a strong terminal spine, and a short outer spine, but no inner one. The fifth foot of the male is, as seen in text-fig. 66 f, distinctly smaller than in preceding stage. Occurrence.

This species is probably distributed all over the Atlantic as far north as Den- mark Strait and as far south as 35° L. S. It has been recorded from the Pacific (35° L,. N. 125° L. W.), from the Gulf of California where, according to Esterly (1912 p. 321), it is found between 50 and 300 fathoms, and from the Malay Archipelago. According to Far ran it is a not uncommon species in the N. E. Atlantic. "It was taken on every station at all depths from 330 to 11 50 fathoms, and in fifteen out of thirty-four gatherings". Remarks. In spite of a few minor differences, partly enumerated above, I regard this species as identical with Giesbrech t's, Scott's and Wol fend en's species. 69. Scottocalanus Thorii n. sp. (PI.

Esterly's specimens measured 4-6 mm. The rostrum is very strong, and only terminally subdivided into two rather short divergent branches without terminal appendages (text-figs 68 a— b). The eyes are well developed. The forehead is surmounted b\- a short, rather prominent crest. The sh%pe of body is, as seen in te.xt-figs 68 c— d, somewhat robust, and the anterior division is almost five times as long as the abdomen. The first as well as the fifth somites are fused with the preceding ones; the lateral corners are somewhat triangularly produced, but are obtusely rounded, with a small notch. The genital somite, which is about as long as the following three somites, is moderately pro- duced below, but the hinder and ventral corner does not project beyond the following somite. No serration was observed along the hinder margin of the abdominal somites. The antennulae extend at least to the end of the third abdominal somite; segments 8'^9 are well separated from 10, and segments 24 and 25 are fairly well separated. The appendages differ from those oi L. frontalis by wanting a seta in segment 10, and by the delicate Sp. of segment 24, which just extends beyond the end of segment 25; the segments 8^9 have two soft setae (text-fig. 68 e). The measurements are very much like those of L. frontalis. The exopodite of the antennae is almost 1-5 as long as the endopodite, which has 8 setae in the outer and 6 in the inner lobe of the second segment. The mandibular are in the main like those of L. frontalis, but the third basipodite has only two setae; 2l6 COPEPODA the iiiaxilhdac differ from those of the mentioned species by 3 setae in the second inner lobe and 8 setae in the exopodite. The posterior margin of the Jiiaxillac is only slightly convex, and only a few slightly developed amalliforra sensory setae in addition to the vermiform one were observed. The maxillipcds are like those of the preceding species, but the amalliform seta of the second basipodite is rather slender, and the endopodite is comparatively elongate. In lateral view the second basipodite of the second and third foot has an outer-edge lamina with a prominent distal tooth. The first foot has 3 outer segments; the outer spine of the first segment extends somewhat beyond the middle of the second segment; in the outer margin of the third segment a distinct glan- dular pore is foinid near the base. The second pair of legs (text-fig. 68 f) has a large somewhat rounded outer tooth in the first outer segment. The ter- minal seta has about 30 well separated serrations. The posterior surface of Ri II 'V' III has 6 strong spines, and the anterior one a few shorter ones. The posterior surface has a single row of teeth in the second outer segment and two rows in the third. Indistinct glandular pores are found at the base of Se Re 11 and Se 3 Re III. The fhird pair of legs has a well developed inner tooth terminally on the anterior surface of the third basipodite; the third to fifth serration of the terminal spine is shorter than the more proximal and distal ones; the arrangement of the spinules is less developed than in the second pair of legs. The fourth foot has a short clumsy second basipodite without mar- ginal setae outwards; the endopodite has no teeth posteriori}', but has a few on the anterior sur- face of Ri II and III, as in the preceding pairs; tlie exopodite is almost smooth. Well developed glandular pores are found in Re I as well as in Text-fig. 68. Scottocalanus Thorii n. sp. f9. a. Head )< JS. b. Rostrum )< 33. c. Abdomen in dorsal view X 15- d.

The lateral view of the tabrum is like that of »?. niagnus, but the anterior part of the labrum is less produced, and in front of it a smooth, rounded elevation is found. The anterior surface of the labruvi (PI. VI fig. 14 a) shows some .similarity to that of L. frontalis (PI. VII fig. 7 b). Most anteriorly COPEPODA 217 a curved row of fairly long setae, in the middle connected with the opposite side, is found; somewhat more posteriorly, and extending from the middle anteriorly to the hinder margin posteriorly, an elongated semicircular row is found (in fig. 14 a, this row is wrongly represented as being separated from that of the opposite side); this row is several setae high, and the length of its setae decreases backwards. More posteriorly another convex row of shorter setae is foimd, and between the end of this row and the mentioned outer row a short oblique series is found. Posteriorly and laterally scattered hairs are found, and more medially an almost transverse row. The posterior marginal setae are well developed. The oral surface of the labrum (PI. VI fig. 14 b) .shows greatest siniilaritv to tliat of .V. obhtsifrons (PI. VII fig. 9 c). Laterally, in front, a big area with short setae is ob- served, belonging to the marginal system. The first lateral group consists of a few granules, and is well separated from the three fol- lowing more or less fused groups of fairh- strong setae ; posteriorly one or two groups of more delicate setae. The arrangement of the transverse rows is seen in figure. The lamina labialis (fig. 14 c) seems to be represented by two rounded structures meeting in the middle; in front of it the two usual rows of setae are found. The arraugement of the hairs behind and between the serrula 6-dentata is seen in figure. In the middle between the labial lobes a large group of densely placed hairs is found, which laterally is continued into an inner marginal row of longer and a more lateral row of shorter hairs. Independent of these, and more laterally, two rows of short setae are found. fc?. Size of male from Thor St. 82 was 5-24 mm.; anterior division 3-93 mm.; urosome 1-31 mm. Th. Scott's specimens measured c. 4 mm., Giesbrecht's 4-5, Esterly's 5-3 and A.Scott's 4-4 mm. The shape of the body is somewhat more slender than in the female. The rostrum is more slender than that of the female, and its branches have sometimes a delicate terminal filament. The fifth thoracic tergite is fairly well marked in front, and is distinctly rounded (text-fig. 69 a). The abdomen, which is about one third of the anterior di- vision, has on the left side of the first somite a backwards directed, rather prominent process, in which the genital opening is found; a fairly distinct serrated seam was found along the hinder margin of the second to the fourth somites. The antennulae extend to the end of the fourth abdominal somite, and are almost straight. Segments 8~9 to 13 are more or less fused, but the articular membranes between segments 80.9 and 10, and between 12 and 13, are fairly well developed anteriorly; the segments 21 and 22 are fused on the right side, while segments 24 and 25 are well separated on both sides. The articulation between segments 14 and 15 is only poorly developed. Most of the bristles are soft-skinned, and very much like sensory setae. One or two ".^stheta.sken" were found in all segments from 1-19; a proximal seta 28 The Iiigolf-Expedition. III. 4- Text-fig. 69. ScoUocalanus Thorii n. sp. f d- a. .■\bdomeii X i5- b.

The Sp. of segment 24 does not extend to the end of segment 25. The segments 8—12 are 1-4 as long as segments 23—25, and segment 19 is i-i as long as 23. The antennae, mandibulae and maxillulae are practically like those of the adult females. The sensory organs of the maxillae are better developed, and the maxilUpeds show the usual differences. The nafatory tegs are scarcely different from those of the females. The. Ji/ih pair of legs is distinctly longer than the abdomen. The rig/if leg (text-fig. 69 b) has the third basipodite rounded in the usual way; inwards a short process is found, where the endopodite is articulated; this extends distinctly beyond the end of the first outer segment, is gradually attenuated, distally curved and here slightly hollowed. The first outer segment has several projections medially, and is distinctly produced inwards terminally, where is the outwards convex second segment, with a shallow excavation facing forwards and inwards; the third segment is short and somewhat attenuated (text-fig. 69 c). The basipodites of the le/t leg are, as usual, long and slender; the endopodite, which extends somewhat beyond the first outer segment, is a thin, elongated structure with indication of segmentation in the middle, some- what enlarged terminally, and with a small terminal seta. The left exopodite consists of two segments of almost equal length; the second is somewhat enlarged, and is terminated with 2 — 3 leaf-like structures in addition to a slender hook-shaped organ dissolved into "setae" terminally, and a plate with at least 7 long serrations (text-fig. 69 d and PI. VIII figs 14 a — b). The labrum etc. are in all features of interest like those of the female; a curious feature was, however, found in the arrangement of the hairs on the anterior surface, as the oblique row of hairs between the two convex rows was wanting.

Size of female from Thor St 88 was 3-84 mm. ; anterior division 3-06 mm ; urosome 078 mm. Male from St 82 measured 3-63 mm. The shape of the body (text-figs 70 a— b) is in the main like that of the adult female, but the frontal keel is just indicated; the fifth thoracic somite is well marked in front, and its lateral corner is produced into a short but distinct tooth. The abdomen consists of four somites, of which the second is longer than the first and third, which are of equal length and longer than the fourth. The first abdominal somite has a small process on the left side; the serrated membrane of the somites II — IV is only indicated. The appendages are, with the exception of the fifth pair of legs, like those of the adult females as well as alike in the two sexes. In the female (text-fig. 70 c) the fifth foot consists of three distinct, almost square segments in addition to a short terminal one, produced into a short spine, at the base of which an exterior delicate hair is found; at the base of the last segment a strong spine is found, at least as long as the 3 distal segments. The fifth pair of the male consists of two short basal segments iu addition to the undivided branches, somewhat asymmetrical (text-fig. 70 d). Occurrence. The Ingolf Expedition has not gathered this species, but it was taken at the following stations by the Thor. COPEPODA 219 111 Denmark Strait '9/6 1904 St. 152 65°oo L. N. 28°io h. W. Yt. 1000 M.

The mensurements are scarcely different from those of the females. The antennae are like those of the female, while the niandibulac differ from those of the female by the much wider third basipodite with three short setae medially. The iiiaxilhilae differ from those of the female by the rudimentary setae of the Li I and the two short setae of Li II. The maxillae are very similar to those of O. cristatus (PL VII fig. 6 c), but the spine of lob. IV is comparatively stronger, being longer, though less powerful, than that of lob. V; the number of the setae is scarcely different from that of the female; the sensory setae of the endo- podite have a rather curious structure, with a more or less prominent, rather short, terminal filament surrounded by short delicate dentations. The luaxillipeds are wideh- different from those of the females, COPEPODA 225 especially on accouut of the wanting strong spines of the endopodite; the dentation of the third basi- podite is not better developed than in related species; the fourth lobe of the second basipodite has two short setae in addition to the spine. The natatory legs are scarcely different from those of the female. The fiftli pair of legs is not unlike Wo 1 fen den's description, but his right foot corresponds to the left one in my specimens (PI. VII figs 4f— g). The right foot (fig. 156) consists only of three segments and a short terminal tooth. The left leg consists of 5 long proximal segments, in addition to a fairly short, attenuated and hairy third outer segment, which has a short terminal seta (fig. 4g). Yq (St. V).

The shape of the body is like that of the adult female, but the lateral corner is more pointed (fig. 15 f); the abdomen consists of four somites, the comparative length of which was to, 19, 14, 8 and 5. The appendages, except the fifth feet, are in the young female like those of the adult females (PI. \'II fig. 4 h), this pair is even less developed than that of the adult, as seen in the drawing; in the male each leg consists of four segments, and the left leg is considerably longer than the right one; about the arrangement of hairs and setae I refer to fig. 15 g.

According to Farran "this species is of frequent occurrence in deep-water tow- nettings off the west coast of Ireland", at depths of from 330 to 1150 fathoms. By the Gauss it was taken 9/,o near the Cape Verde Islands, and '^/u it was taken about 35° L. S. 0-5° L. E. Remarks. In spite of minor differences I do not doubt that this species is identical with Cor- nucalauus )uagnus Wolf.; Wolfenden refers Thompson's Sc. die lifer to a different species on account of a wanting frontal spine; as Thompson's description of a young male is so very imperfect, I prefer to follow Farran and Pearson. 72.

Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 8-3 mm.; anterior division 6-5 mm.; urosome I-8 mm. Wolfenden's specimens measured 8-8 mm. The body is rather elongated; the head (fig. 5a) is well raised, with distinct eyes, but without trace of frontal keel or spine. The rostrum (PI. VIII fig. 16 a) is bifurcate, with fairly long, slightly divergent spines, one of which, at least, possesses a slender filament. The lateral corner is triangularly produced, and has a well marked pointed tooth, which in some specimens, however, is only indicated, but is generally most distinct on the right side. The abdovioi (PI. VII fig. 5b) is scarcely one third as long as the anterior division; the genital somite is rather suddenly produced below; the genital opening is more broad than long, and is placed in the middle of a densely hirsute area ; the lateral margins are somewhat overlapping and pointed in front; an elongated receptaculum seminis is found. The anal somite is scarcely visible from above; the comparative length of the three first abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 32, 22, 16 and 11. The marginal serrated seam along the hinder margin of segments 2 — 4 is only poorly developed. The somites are more or less hirsute, especially ventrally; the first somite has the hairs more distinct, especially dorsally in front, where a pad of densely placed hairs is found. The antennulae reach almost to the end of the body and consist of 24 segments the appendages are scarcely different from tliose of C. chelifer\ the Sp. of segment 24 is one third removed from the end of the segment, and is far from reaching the tip of the segment 25. The segments 21 and 22 are of almost equal length. The exopodite and the endopodite of the antennae are of almost equal length ; the mandibulae and maxillulae are in main features like those of C. chelifer. The basipodite of the maxillae is first strongly excavated and then distinctly produced; the lobe i has 5 setae, the lobes 2 — 4 have 3 setae ; the posterior seta of the fourth lobe is stronger than the preceding setae, but much weaker than the strong curved spine of the fifth lobe, at the base of which 3 fairly long and slender setae are found. The endopodite has 6 brush-shaped sensory organs in addition to a long slender one. The inaxillipeds show great similarity to those of C. chelifer; the comparative length between the main divisions is 18, 29 and 15. The first and second basipodites are like those of C. chelifer] the third basipodite is about 6 times as long as wide, with the three proximal setae well separated from each other; and inwards and basally with an area of densely placed delicate spines. The second segment of the endo- podite has one short serrated curved spine and two long ones; the third segment has two similar spines. The first pair of legs is like that of the preceding species, but the segments are much more slender. The second pair of legs is like those of the preceding species, but is distinctly more slender; the third outer segment is about twice as long as wide, and as long as the terminal spine. The outer spine of the first inner segment is fairly long and somewhat obtuse; on the anterior surface of the second inner segment^a small pore surrounded by slender hairs is found ; indistinct glandular pores were only found in Re II and at the base of Se 3 Re III. On the posterior surface of the two inner segments coronas of spines were found, while larger and smaller prickles were found in numbers in the outer segments. The third pair of legs differs from the following pair by the comparatively longer and thicker teeth, especially in the endopodite. The fourth pair of legs has marginal setae in the second basipodite; a glandular pore is observed in the second outer segment; the posterior surface is covered with groups of short prickles or fairly long setae, with all intermediary steps between; the setae are COPEPODA 227 comparatively shorter in the two outer segments. Anteriorly, hairs are only found in the second basi- podite, where, f. inst., laterally a large group of long setae is found. The fifth pair of legs (fig. 5 d) consists of three segments ; the exopodite has a terminal and two outer spines ; the anterior surface is almost smooth, while the posterior surface as well as the sides are covered with long setae. In front of the rather prominent labruni proper a prominent episfoiiia (PI. VII fig. 5 a), which is densely covered with long bristles (fig. 5e), is found; the bristles of the labrum are neatly arranged into two anterior groups of long bristles, about three lateral groups of shorter hairs and a single marginal row. The oral surface of the labrum (fig. 5 f) is anteriorly densely covered with a number of short minute prickles; scarcely distinguished from these, two lateral groups of hairs are found, probably corresponding to two groups in C. cJielifer. Almost in the middle, on each side, about three almost completely fused groups of short bristles as seen in figure are found, and more behind, an oblique group of delicate hairs is found. In the middle densely placed granules are found in transverse areas. No distinct lamina labialis is found; in front of the serrula 6-dentata (fig. 5 g) a large inner group of short granules is found, and an outer longitudinal row of fairly long hairs. Behind, a horse-shoe shaped group of granules is found on each side and, well separated from this, as seen in fig. 5 e, irregularly placed short hairs. Along the inner margin of the labial lobes inwards short spines, and more outwards long bristles, are found. Y^ (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 6-25 mm.; anterior division 5 mm.; urosome 1-25 mm. The shape of the body is scarcely different from that of the adult, but for the regularly pointed lateral corner. The comparative length of the four abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 10, 15, 13, 8 and 6. The abdominal somites are almost completely smooth. But for the comparatively shorter fifth foot, the appendages are scarcely different from those of the adult females. Occurrence. The Thor has taken this species at two stations.

This species has previously been found in the Antarctic Seas. Wolfenden has originally given the name X.?nagnns to a species about 8-8 mm. long with pointed lateral corners. Later on he has subdivided his original species into a smaller one with rounded lateral corners to which he applies the name O. viagnns, and a larger one which he names O.frigidus. I think the name tnagmis must necessarily be used for the bigger species. I am very doubtful, if my North Atlantic species is really identical with the Antarctic one; Wolf- en den's description, however, is in several important points too incomplete to settle the question. The differences are the following. In my specimens the first as well as the fifth thoracic somites are well marked in front; the genital somite is not as long as the following three somites, the vulva has no "lateral flap" on each side, and the genital somite can scarcely be called "very swollen ventrally". The anteunulae are longer, as they reach distinctly beyond the middle of the genital 29* 228 COPEPODA somite. The Li 2 of the inaxilhilae has 2 not 3 setae. The Ri 2 of the fourth foot has no "corona of spines", but a number of fairly long bristles, and the fifth feet seem to be somewhat different. 73. Onchocalanus cristatus Wolf. (PI.

Wolfenden's specimen measured 5-5 mm., Sars's 7 nnn. and Scott's 6-6 mm. The shape of the body is like that of O. iiiagi/iis\, but it is more slender; the first as well as the fifth thoracic .somite is well marked out in front. The liead (PI. VIII fig. 17 a) is well raised, and surmounted with a dorsal low crest, visible in dorsal as well as in lateral view. The rostrum consists of a basal portion and two fairly long somewhat divergent spines without distinct terminal filament. The lateral corners are triangularh' produced and terminated with a distinct tooth. The abdomen is a little more than one fourth as long as the anterior division ; the genital somite is like that of O. i/iagiiiis, but is less produced below. The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 28, 18, 13 and 6; the somites are hair\' in a similar way as in the other species. The anfeiiJiiilac are like those of O. iiiagi/iis^ and extend about to the end of the furca; the only difference is found in the slightly different measurements of the segment 13, whicli is 1-24 (not i'4) as long as segment 12, and of segment 24 which is i-i as long as segment 23 (not a little shorter). The antcnuat\ mandibulae and maxilhilae are scarcely different from those of O. /iiagints. The maxillae are like those of the preceding species; the endopodite possesses in addition to a short seta of usual structure a long slender sensory seta and 5 fairly long ones, the slightly enlarged part of which is more or less "brush-shaped". The inaxillipcds are like those of the preceding .species, but the third outer segment has 4 instead of 3 strong curved spines. The first pair of legs differs only by rather unimportant details in the armature of the posterior surface. The Se of the first inner segment is long, slender, and distinctly pointed in the second pair of legs. The third as well as the fonrtli pair of legs differs from O. iiiagi/Ks in the details of the arrangement of the hairs, and by the curiously contorted terminal spine. The fi/t/i pair of legs consists of three segments, of which the third, attenuated one, is longer than the second, but shorter than the two basal ones combined; it has, as seen in fig. 6 a PI. VII, a terminal and two outer spines. The anterior surface is smooth, while the sides as well as the posterior surface are all over covered with fairly strong setae or spines. The labrutn (PL VIII fig. 17 a) etc. are not in any features of great interest different from the corresponding organs of the preceding species. COPEPODA 229 f cf. Size of male was 6-5 nun.; anterior division 507 nmi. ; urosome 1-43 nun. The body is more slender than in the female; the head shows trace of a crista, especially in dorsal view. The lateral corners are rounded and possess a small, well marked tooth. The abdomen is fairly slender (PI. VII fig. 6 b) and is, as seen in figure, be.set with hair\- .spots. The comparative lengtli of the first four abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 25, 55, 45, 28 and 15. The antcnnulac extend about to the end of the bod}-; the proximal 7 segments are more powerful than in the female. The segments Sc^^g to 13 are posteriorly indistinctly separated, as the articular membrane is sometimes missing; the segments 20 and 21 are, on the right side, partly fused; the appendages are scarcely different from the male of C. chelifer. The anteiuiac scarcely differ from those of the female, but the iiiaiidibnlac differ by the wide third basipodite with three rather short inner setae; the maxillulac are more soft-skinned than in the female; the Li i has 8 short setae, but the number of setae is in other respects like that of the female. Tlie maxillae (fig. 6 c) is a soft-skinned organ of somewhat similar shape to that of the female; the number of setae in the lobes is seen in figure; the endopodite has 7 sensory setae, differing from rather clumsy ones basalh- to more slender ones distally. The inaxillipeds are distinctl\- more robust than in the females; the comparative length between the main divisions is 34, 34 and 15, the setae of the second basipodite, especially the sensory one in the middle, are less developed ; the strong curved setae of the endopodite are represented by rather weak setae. The natatory legs are scarcely different from those of the female. T\\e fi/t/t pair of legs extends almost to the end of the abdomen. The liglit leg is much shorter than the two first segments in the left leg (cf. PI. VII fig. 6b), and it forms an outward convexity; the outer margin of the second seg- ment is slightly convex, and somewhat spinous; the third segment is indistinctly divided into two parts, and has at least a terminal and an outer rather weak spine as well as a number of stiff hairs terminally on the posterior surface. The le/t Irg has two long cylindric basal segments, of which the distal one is much the longer; the second segment is convex outward.s, and here possesses terminally about 7 stiff hairs. The exopodite consists of three segments, decreasing in length as well as in thickness from the first towards the third; the third segment (PI. VIII fig. 17 e) is somewhat attenuated and hairy, and is in possesion of a short terminal spine. The cpistoina (PI. VIII fig. 17 c) is well developed, with two rows of long setae; the labrmn proper has, anteriorly, a well developed projection, but is posteriorly rather soft-skinned, with undulated lines in the chitin; anteriorly 2—4 rows of long bristles are found; posteriorly, rows of short bristles were observed; the marginal row of hairs was apparently wanting. The oral surface of the labrum is not un- like that of the female, but the granulation in front is wanting; three well separated lateral groups of hairs were found on each side. In the middle, just behind the third median circular spot, a single transverse group of short bristles was found. In front of a well developed serrida 6-dcntata with short teeth, a median elongated group with two longitudinal rows and, laterally, a single convex row were found. The labial lobes are well developed, with short marginal bristles; between the lobes a small pointed process is found on each side. 2,o COPEPODA Y$ (St. V). Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 6-15 mm.; anterior divi.sioii 4-9 mm.; urosome 1-25 mm. The shape of the bodv is more slender than in the adult female. Short, but distinct rostral, filaments were found in the examined specimen. The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the f ureal branches is 30, 50, 40, 20 and 17; the somites are distinctly hirsute. Tlie appendages do not show anv difference of importance, except the fifth pair of legs; this was in one specimen (St. 167) shorter than that of the adult female, and especially the last segment was less slender; in another, however (St. 183) (fig. 17 f PI. VIII), the last segment was, as seen in figure, divided into two; as the right and the left foot were almost quite alike, I am most disposed to regard this feature as an abnormity and not as one characteristic of the male. Y? (St. IV). Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 4-36 mm.; anterior division 344 mm.; uro- some 0-92. The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 28, 40, 40 and 17. The uiaxillulac have only 9 setae in the exopodite.

' •' ' ' eriorly at least in distal half of the segments, the)- are covered with fairly long stiff hairs; the left leg has terminally a bifurcate process (fig. 74 d), and in the right a three-divided one (fig. 74 e) is found. The lateral view of the labriiiii etc. is like that of the preceding species; the organs were not examined in detail in the single specimen at my disposal. i$. Size of male from Thor St. 183 was 4-04 mm.; anterior division 3-05 mm.; urosome 0-99 mm. The shajie of the cephalosome is scarcely different from that of the female (text-fig. 74 f). Th.e abdomen has, as usual, five somites, but the fifth one is scarcely visible from above; the comparative length of the four somites and the furcal branches, which are as long as wide is 25, 40, 33, 20 and 12. The distal segments of the antcntmlae were wanting; the proximal segments are like those of the preceding species. The antennae^ tiiandihidae and inaxillulae show the same differences from those of the female as in O. cristatus. The maxillae are in general .shape like those of the preceding species (cf. PI. VII fig. 6 c); tlie structure and arrangement of the 8 sensory setae in the endopodite are seen in text-fig. 74 g. The COPEPODA 233 )naxillipcds are like those of the female; the comparative length of the main divisions is 55, 65 and 32; the endopodite is somewhat shorter, and its setae are less strong. The sensory seta of the second basipodite is three to four times as long as wide, curved, and somewhat attenuated; it is thus well distinguished from the short one of the female, as well as from the comparativel)- long and straight one of the male in O. cristatus. The Jirst pair of legs differs from that of the female by the want of spines on the posterior sur- face of the Re I, and by three spines only in Ri. The second pair of legs is scarcely different from that of the female. The fliird pair of legs is in main features like that of the female; the third outer segment is of usual structure, and the armature of the posterior surface is like that of O. i/iagiins. The foiirfh pair of legs was very defective. The fifth pair of legs, like that of O. cr/sfah/s, consists of a short right leg extending scarcely to the end of the first segment of the left side, and of a long and slender left leg, which extends distinctly beyond the end of the abdomen (text-fig. 74 f) ; the right leg has, as seen in text-fig. 74 h, three fairly long and broad proximal segments in addition to a rudimentary terminal one, con- tinued into a short spine. The left leg consists, as seen in figure, of five elongated segments like those of O. cristatus\ the third outer segment is, however, as seen in text-fig. 74 i, less slender, and has in addition to the terminal seta a distal outer one. Occurrence. The Thor has taken a male and a female of this species '7? ^9^4 St. 183 6i°30 Iv. N. 17^08 L. W. Yt. 1800 M. Wire. Distribution. Previously a single specimen (?) has been gathered by the Monaco St. 1849, 36°i7 L.N. 28°28 L. W. 0—3000 M., on the west coast of Ireland (55° L. N. 10° L. W. at 11 50 fathoms) and by the Siboga at 3° L. S. 127° L. E. Remarks. My specimens do not differ from Sars' short description, and agree with Farran's specimens in the shape of the genital somite, but differ by the shape of the fifth pair of legs, which is not "five-jointed" on the one .side. From Scott's figures they differ by minor points in the structure of the anteunulae, but especially b\- the third segment of the fifth foot, which has a distal Se in ad- dition to an undivided St; as, however, the fifth foot seems to vary from the one specimen to the other, there is not at present sufficient justification for separating the two species from each other. 75. Onchocalanus affinis n. sp. (Text-figs 75 a— e and 76 a— d). Description, f?. Size of female from Thor St. 183 was 6-3 mm.; anterior division 5-09 mm.; urosome 1-4 mm. The body is somewhat more slender than in the preceding species. The head is more suddenly raised; the basal portion, which is more powerful than in the preceding species, is directed more downwards (text-fig. 75 a). The first and the fifth tergites are only indistinctly marked in front; the lateral corners are triangularly produced and obtusely rounded. The abdorucn (text-fig. 75 b) differs from that of the preceding species by the shape of the genital somite; dorsally the somite, somewhat in front of the middle, is rather suddenly wider than The Ingolf-Expedition. III. 4. 234 COPEPODA more anteriorly, but posteriorly it is of almost equal width. The comparative length of the three first abdominal somites and the furca is 75, 50, 30 and 22. The antennulae reach at least to the end of the third abdominal somite; the Sp of segment 24 is one third removed from the tip of the segment, and is far from extending to the end of segment 25; in other respects the antennulae are like those of the preceding species. The oral appendages are scarcely different from those of O. hirtipes\ the com- parative length of the main divisions in the maxilli- peds is 85, 100 and 57; the sensory seta of the second basipodite is fairly long like that of O. cristatus. The Jirst pair of legs differs from that of O. htrti- pcs by the number of spines ; the endopodite has 4 spines^ the exopodite has no spines in Re I, 7 spines at the base of Si Re II, and in Re III 3, 6 and 6 spines near the inner margin. The number of spines on the posterior surface in the second pair of legs is somewhat greater than in O. hirtipcs\ the endopodite has in Ri II 8 + " 6 -|- 12 spines.

The _fi/i/i pair of legs (text-figs 75 d-e) differs from that of the preceding species by the structure of the terminal spines of Re III; in the left leg two terminal spines in addition to a Se were found; on the right side the Se is poorly developed, but a fairly strong Si was found. The anterior surface is, as in O. hiriipes, almost completely smooth. fc?. Size of male from Thor St. 180 was 5-19 mm. ; anterior division 4-1 mm.; urosome rog mm. The shape of the body is like that of the preceding species; the lateral corners are more rounded and less produced than in the female. The com- parative length between the abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 30, 45, 36, 24, 2 and 15. The antennulae almost reach to the end of furca; they show the usual differences from those of the female. The antennae, viandibulac and maxillulae are scarcely different from those of the adult female. The maxillae differ by the structure of some of the sensory setae of the endopodite (text- figs 75 c). The maxillipeds are like those of the preceding species, but the sensor}' seta is shorter than in the preceding species; the comparative length of the main divisions is 75, 80 and 42.

It is not without some doubt that I have established a new species for the described male and female. In spite of the variations in the fifth pair of legs, which is not uncommon to several species, I think that the different shape of the fifth pair of legs, the larger size, and the dif- ferent armament of the first pair of legs warrant the establishment of a new species for the female. I think that the males of the two species are distinctly distinguishable especially by the right leg of the fifth pair of legs. 76. Xanthocalanus Greenii Farran. (PI. VII figs 3 a— g; PI.

Farran's specimen measured 6-o mm. and Wolfenden's 5-5 mm. The anterior division is short and robust, about 4-5 as long as the abdomen. The rostrum consists of a proximal portion, continued into 2 thin, but stiff, rather long and somewhat divergent branches (PI. VIII fig. 18 a). The head is rounded without any trace of crest. The first thoracic tergite is well marked in front by an articular line, which, beneath, is seen to be continued between the in- sertion of the maxillae and maxillipeds, as is the fifth thoracic tergite, as seen in fig. 18 b. The lateral corners are produced and terminated with a small tooth. The comparative length of the abdominal somites and the furcal branches is 10, 17, 13, 7 and 15; the furcal branches are 1-4 as long as wide; serrated seam along the hinder margin of somite II — III is well developed. The antennulae extend almost to the end of body; the appendages of the 24 segments are like those of the preceding species; the Sp. of segment 24, which was broken, was placed in the middle of the segment; the measurements are in the main like Farran's description. The antennae are like Farran's description, with two rami of about equal length. The iiiandibtilae \\a.\Q a long and slender manducatory part with rather weak teeth; the third basipodite has three long slender spines, of which the most distal is almost twice as long as the proximal ones. The maxillulae have 7 long powerful + shorter bristles in the exterior lobe; the Li I (PI. VII fig. 3 a) has 4 rather delicate Sa and 10 Sp., of which at least 8 are widened out to lancet-shaped laminae with delicate serration, as seen in fig. 3 b; the Li 2 has 4 setae, and so has Li 3, and while the third basipodite has 4 Sa + i Sp the endopodite has 11 setae and the exopodite 10. The maxillae are only slightly produced posteriorly; Lob. I has 5 setae, lobe II— III has 3 setae, and lobe IV (PI. VII fig. 3 c) has a strong sHghtly curved 30" 236 COPEPODA serrated spine in addition to the usual pinnate setae with laminae-formed serrated membrane; the lobe V has two rather delicate bristles posteriorly, of which one is short, and in addition 2 very long ser- rated membraniferous setae (figs 3c-d). The endopodite (cf. Wolfenden's PL XXXI fig. 11) has 7 longer or shorter brush-shaped sensory setae as well as a long slender vermiform one. The viaxillipeds (PI. VII fig. 3 e) are in main features like those described b)' Farran and Wolfenden; the compara- tive length of the main divisions is 47, 41 and 43; the first basipodite has in the middle no brush- shaped seta, but a fairly long pointed seta; the second basipodite is distinctly twice as long as wide. The two last setae of the segments of the endopodite are curiously developed, as shown in fig. 3 f (PI. VII); the last segment has in addition to these two setae two simple setae and a plumons one (not drawn by Wolfenden). "YXx^ first pair of legs is like Sars' figure of X. borealis, but the Se of Re I and II are short, as seen in Farran's fig. 9; both surfaces are smooth. The second pair of legs has a short blunt Se in the first inner segment (fig. 18 c); the second inner segments possess on the posterior surface two groups of 12 strong spines; the posterior surface of the exopodite is completely smooth; the terminal seta is short and broad (PI. VII fig. 3 g), and its teeth are only free in their terminal portion; well developed glandular pores are found in Re I, II and III at the base of Se 3. The third pair of legs is like that of the preceding pair, but the second inner segment has 9, and the third inner segment has 7 spines. Tlie fourth pair of legs has on the posterior surface of the second inner segment 19 com- paratively short and slender spines; on the posterior surface of the third inner segment a number of short bristles is found. The fifth pair of legs of the examined specimen, which is probably a young male, is distinctly different from Farran's description of a young male, and is asymmetrical; the left smaller leg consists as seen in fig. 18 d, of three segments; the exopodite has two outer and a terminal spine; a rudimentary styliform endopodite is present. The right leg is somewhat longer than that of the left side, and the endopodite as well as the exopodite has two segments. The lateral outhne of the labrum etc. is, as seen in fig. 18 a (PI. VIII), rather characteristic. Occurrence. The Thor has in 1904 or 1905 in the Atlantic south of Iceland without locality taken a young male of this interesting species. This species has previously been recorded from the west coast of Ireland "at depths of from 680 to 1 150 fathoms", from the Bay of Biscay and by the Monaco Expedition. Remarks. On full consideration I think that this species is identical with Farran's X. Grcnii in spite of the larger size and the distinct tooth of the lateral corner. It is probably also identical with Wolfenden's X. calaviimis^ though differing in the features mentioned as well as in a few others. 77. Xanthocalanus pinguis Farran. (PI.

Size of female from Thor St. 99 was 5-19 mm.; anterior division 4-15 mm.; urosome 1-04. Farran's specimens measured 4-5— 5-1 mm. The shape of the body is in the main like that of A', borealis. The first and fifth somites, bnt especiall)- the fifth, are well marked in front (text-fig. 77 a); the lateral corners are produced into a small tooth The abdomen^ which is one fourth as long as the anterior division, has a slightly produced genital somite, and a distinct receptaculum seminis; along the hinder margin of somites II — IV a striated seam is found ; the comparative length of the first three abdominal somites and the furcal rami is 18, 12, 9 and 8. The antennulae extend to the end of the fourth thoracic tergite, and consist of 23 segments; the number of "^sthetasken" is like that of C. chelifer\ a proximal seta was found in segments 12, 14, 16 and 18, but not in segments 15 and 17; the posterior seta of segment 24 is placed in the middle of the segment, and extends just to the end of segment 25. Segment 24 is i'2 as long as 23, and i'5 as long as 24, which is as long as segment 22. The exopodite of the antennae is distinctly longer than the endopodite. The mandibulae are scarcely different from those of X. borealis^ while the maxillulae^ especially the distal portions, are more long and slender than in X. Grceni as well as borealis\ the number, but not the shape, of setae in the inaxilholae is as in X. Greeni] but the endopodite has only 9 setae. The maxillae are \\kft Sars' and Far- ran's figures; the lobe V has in addition to 3 setae, of which the two are .short and delicate, a serrated and distinctly curved spine, which is longer and stronger than that of the fourth lobe; the endopodite has 7 brush-shaped sensory setae in Text-fig. 77.

Abdomen X 18. the comparative length between the main divisions is 65, 73 and 48. The//>j/ pair of legs is like that of X. borealis, but the Se of Re I extends almost to the end of Re II. The second pair of legs differs from that of X. borealis by finer serration of St; the glan- dular pores are like those of the preceding species. The Si of the second basipodite shows an abnormal structure probably due to traumatism, as it is suddenly narrower and then gradually enlarged, where it is divided into three again subdivided branches. The third zyxA fourth pair of legs, the distal segments of which were wanting, are scarcely different from those of A', borealis. The fifth pair of legs (PI. VII fig. 2 a) is in main features like Farran's earlier description, and is scarcely different from the fignre which Far ran has given of a larger specimen (his PI. IV fig. 18); the anterior surface is smooth, but the posterior surface has, as shown in figure, groups of short spines. The lateral outline of the epistoma and labrum is like that of A'. Greeni, as seen in figure, and they are not distinctly defined from each other. The epistoma has in front a group of long slender bristles; somewhat in front of the transverse row of bristles along the posterior margin a regular transverse series of fairly long setae is found, and just in front of this a group of irregularly placed bristles is found ; laterally two or three groups of short hairs are found. On the oral surface of the labnuu (PI. VII fig. 2 b), in front and laterally, two oblique almost parallel wide rows of bristles were observed; in the middle, on each .side, 4 more or less fu.sed wide 238 COPEPODA areas of numerous short hairs or granules were observed. The chitinous framework is on each side in front of the third median circular spot produced into a beak-like structure; somewhat behind, a transverse chitinous bar was found in the middle. Behind the fourth median circular spot a number of short granules was found. In front of the indistinct lamina labialis a large group of short hairs is observed, consisting of an inner and outer part; the hairs decrease in size outwards. Between the srrrula 6-scrrata a crroup of granules is observed, and behind, outer and inner groups of longer and shorter hairs, as seen in figure 2 c (PI. VII). Along the labial lobes inwards, marginal rows of long slender setae are found anteriorly and short spines posteriorly; behind the lobes in the middle, areas of minute granules are found, and the lobes possess laterally groups of irregularly placed fairly long and .slender bristles, limited inwards by an oblique row of somewhat shorter hairs. Yq (St. V). Size of young male was 4-43 mm.; anterior division 3-51 mm.; urosome 0-92. An- other young male as well as a female measured 37 mm. The shape of the body differs from that of the adult by the comparatively better marked fifth thoracic somite (text-fig. 77 b), and by the abdomen, which has four somites, the comparative length of which is 5, 13, 9, 6 and 5; the furcal rami are a little longer than wide. The Ji/fh pair of legs in the female is scarcely different from that of the adult; in the male (PI. VII fig. 2 d) it is distinctly different; on the right side it differs by the two-segmented exopodite, the first segment of which has a distinct Se, and the terminal segment of which has 2 terminal spines; the left leg shows a similar segmentation, but is less hirsute and shows trace of segmentation in Re II. Occurrence. The Thor has gathered this species once in the Iceland-Faeroe channel and once in the Atlantic south of Iceland. "/5 04 St. 99 6i°05 L. N. 9°35 L. W. Yt. 1700 M. Wire 2 f?, 2 y?

Iiirtipes Vanh. and borealis G. O. Sars, it has a wide distribution viz. the west coast of Ireland, the Iceland-Faeroe channel, the west coast of Norway, Kara Sea and the Arctic Ocean near the New Siberia Islands. Remarks. That this .species is identical with the species which Parr an 1908 has mentioned as X.piiigiiisf seems not to be doubtful on account of its size 5-1 mm. and the almost identical shape of the fifth pair of legs. From the typical specimens of Farran's species (1905) it differs by the more pointed lateral corners of the fifth thoracic tergite, and by a somewhat different measurement of the antennulae [the segment 22 is as long as instead of 1-3 (in fig. 20 PI. \'III the two segments are of almost equal length) as long as segment 25], but especially by the more distinct spinulation of the fifth pair of legs. When the variability of the fifth pair of legs is taken into consideration, I do not doubt that the two different forms belong to the same species. It is nearly related to X. profundus Sars (1907 p. 14), which differs from it by larger size, 6-2 mm., and by the somewhat different shape of the fifth pair of legs. COPEPODA 239 From X. liirtipcs and borcalis, to which it is very nearly related, it seems to differ by greater size, by comparatively shorter antennulae, which do not reach to the end of the genital somite, and by 10 instead of 9 setae in the exopodite of the antennae. 78.

The anterior division is 24 as long as the urosome; the comparative length f the abdominal somites are seen in the fig. 78 a. The serrated seam along the hinder margins is poorh' developed. The antennulae extend distinctly beyond the end of the thorax to the end of the second ab- dominal somite. Segments %^<^ are only in front indistinctly separated from segments 10—12, which are completely fused; these segments are fairly well separated from segment 13, which is well separated from segment 14; the following segments are well separated from each other. A complete "trithek" is found in segments 3— 9; ".^sthetasken" are found in segments 10—19, but are wanting in segments 20—24. Small proximal setae are seen in segments 12, 14, 16 and 18. The exopodite of the antennae is 1-5 as long as the endopodite, which has 6 setae in the outer and 8 in the inner lobe of the second segment. The manducatory part of the mandibulae is soft-skinned and very long and slender, with delicate but distinct teeth; the third basipodite is widened 2AO COPEPODA out and possesses 2 long Si. The )iiaxiUulac are fairly well developed, and different from those of the male of X. borealts; the Le has 7 long powerful as well as 2 short bristles. The Li i is only a little longer than wide, and has at least 9 bristles, which are long, broad, somewhat lamellous and distinctly plumous; the Li 2 has 4 short setae, the Li 3 has 4 fairly long, partly phunous setae, and the third basipodite has 5 setae. The endopodite seem.s only to possess 10 setae, and so does the exopodite. The maxillae are rather soft-skinned; the Lob. I has 4 rather slender setae, the lob. 2-3 have 3 each; the fourth lobe has 2 slender plumous bristles and a long, broad, strongh- plumous seta, and the fifth lobe has a single shorter one of similar structure in addition to 2 fairly strong plumous setae and a very delicate one. The endopodite has 2 vermiform setae, 5 rather slender brush-shaped ones, and a curious globular appendage scarcely twice as long as wide, with terminal almost circular opening and striated wall. The viaxilUpeds are scarcely different from those of X. borcalis. The first and second pairs of legs are scarcely different from those of X. borcalis ] the distal seg- ments of the fhird anA /otirfJi legs are wanting, while the proximal ones are like those of mentioned species. The fi/f/i pair of legs extends distincth- beyond the end of the abdomen; the rig/if leg is comparatively short and somewhat convex outwards, but extends distinctl\- beyond the end of the first basal segment (text-fig. 77 a, d); it consists, as seen in figure, of 4 segments, of which the last one shows trace of further segmentation, and is terminated with a short tooth. The Ic/f leg consists of three elongated proximal segments, the comparative length of which is seen in figure; the first seg- ment has inwards on the anterior surface a short keel (text-fig. 77 a — c). The fourth segment (Re II?) is much shorter than the preceding ones, and is somewhat enlarged towards the middle, where a process with two groups of about 10 bristles is found; beyond this process the segment is hollowed with a concavity facing inwards, and has about 6 setae along the outer margin, as well as a tuft of 5 more slender ones and one stronger seta terminally (text-fig. 78 b — c); apparently articulated to this segment a short "segment" with a tuft of hairs was found. The terminal segment (Re III?) has along the one margin in the middle 5 fairly strong spines, and terminalK- a hooked spine; at base of which four moderately slender setae are observed. Occurrence.

Remarks. As far as I am able to see the male of this species, which is especially characterized by the curious development of the left foot, is identical with Scott's Amalloplwra claviger. The somewhat laminous setae which are observed in tlie maxillulae and maxillae suggest some affinity to X. Grenii\ its much smaller size excludes this species. About 20 species of Xanthocalatius have been described; to refer the described male to most of these may be excluded, especially on account of its much greater size (4-5 mm. against 2 — 3 mm. for the female). Only X. pinguis Farr. (4-5 — 5-1 mm.), X. initticiis G. O. Sars (53 mm.) and X. profundus G. O. Sars (6-2 mm.) could possibly be the females of this species. From X. piiiguis it seems to be distinguished by rounded lateral corners and longer antennulae. From X. proftdidus it seems to differ in quite similar features, and from X. mtiticus it seems to differ by longer rostrum, by lateral corners COPEPODA 241 rounded not "obtusement triangulaire", by longer urosonie, by shorter antennulae not "aussi longues que le corps". I think it is quite impossible at present to tell whether the described male ought to be regarded as identical with any of these three species, or whether it is the male of a not yet described female. 1897. 1900. 1902. 1902. 1903- 1904. ? 9 nee cf 1905- Xantliocalauus hirtipes n. sp.

Of this sjDecies I have only examined a single, very mutilated, adult female found in the con- tents of the stomach of a Liparis barbata from Kara Sea. I have included it in this paper partly because it certainly belongs to the fauna of this region, and partly because a full synonymy and a discussion of its position seem to be useful. The lateral corners of the thorax are distinctly pointed, as in Sars' figure PI. XXXI. The exo- podite of the maxillulae has only 9 setae, as stated by Sars. The fifth pair of legs is most similar to that described by Vanhoffen (Taf. 21 fig. 22), with three terminal spines only, but the last segment is fairly well distinguished, and the hairs, especially those of the posterior surface of the third segment as well as those of the inner surface of the first segment, are distinctly longer. The labrum etc. are in all main features like that of the preceding species. To decide whether X. hirtipes and borealis really belong to the same species is somewhat dif- ficult without specimens of both forms at disposal. The character found in the size is not of much value, when remembering that Farran's specimens varied from 2-5 to 3-5, that Sars' measured 3-5, and Vanhoffen's 4 mm.; the characters found in the structure of the fifth pair of legs are not sufficient, when taking into consideration the great variations which, according to Farran, exist in the structure of this pair of legs. Vanhoffen thought that characters could be found in the spinulation of the posterior surface of the endopodites of the natatory legs; the differences pointed out by him are cer- tainly due to individual variability. To define the limitations of the species within this group is probably a task just as difficult as that which has previously been discussed with Oilainis and Psni- docalamis. 80.

Size of specimen from Thor St. 82 was a'gmm.; anterior division 2'42; nro- some 0-48 mm. Giesbrecht's specimens measured i'8 — 2-i mm. In some of the examined specimens the liead possesses dorsally, as seen in text-fig. 79, a conical protuberance. The interior lobes of the viaxillar are placed verj' near to each other, the Lob. i has 5 setae, the lyob. 2 has 3, and the Lob. 3, whicli is very short, has probably 3 setae as well; the fourth lobe has at least 2 setae, of which the one is comparatively strong, and distinctly curved, and the fifth lobe has in addition to fairly strong claw-shaped setae two short slender ones; the endopodite has seven comparatively short and thick brush-shaped setae, distally apparently fused, in addition to a long and slender pointed one. The legs are scarcely different from Giesbrecht's description. The outer margin of the third outer segment of \.\\& first fo of has proximally to the middle a small incision and a glandular pore. On the anterior surface of the third inner segment of the second and third pairs of legs a minute glandular pore was found, but in the fourth pair none was seen. At the base of the outer spine in the Re II, and at the base of Se I and III Re III, glandular pores were found in the second pair of legs, and in the third and fourth pairs at the base of Se Re I as well. The Ri II '>^ III, which are fused in the second pair of legs, possess on the posterior surface two coronas of 8 and 6 long spines respectively, the Ri II and III of the third pair of legs have 8 and 6 spines respectively, and the Ri II of the fourth pair of legs has 6 long rather weak spines. The very short lahniiii and the elevation in front of it are only indistinctly separated, and the latter is placed just behind the insertion of the antennulae; the epi- stoma is covered by a number of longer and shorter setae; on the labrum proper a trans- verse group of fairly short setae is found ; the marginal setae are only poorly developed (PI. VII fig. i a). The oral surface (fig. i b) has in front 4 longer and shorter oblique groups of shorter hairs converging towards the middle, and more posteriorly, probably composed of the three hinder, a longitudinally placed elongated groujj of short hairs is found. In the middle at least three groups of very short hairs or granules are found. The lamina labialis is only poorly developed (PI. VII fig. 1 c); in front of it a regular granular area is found; the area behind the lamina and on the labial lobes was not studied in details (of. fig. i c). f c?. Size of specimen from St. 82 was 2"26 mm.; anterior division I'Sg mm.; urosome 037 nmi. Giesbrecht's sj^ecimen measured 18 mm. The anterior division did not possess a lamelliform projection, as figured and described by Gies- brecht. No dorsal protuberance was found. Y$ (St. V). Size of specimen from Thor St. 82 was 2-3 mm.
