. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. 58 DISCOVERY REPORTS the circumstances I have removed some of the appendages in order to make accurate drawings of them. Distribution. Open ocean to the west of Saldanha Bay, South Africa, captured in a closing net fishing between 1600 m. and 1000 m. Eucopia sp. Occurrence: v &• 7 / St. 295. 26. viii. 27 (day). West of Sierra Leone, 270o-250o(-o) m., 1 damaged imm. specimen, estimated length 12 mm. Remarks. This specimen is too damaged to be described fully. The anterior end of the carapace and the eyes are distorted so that their normal form cannot be ascertained. The antennule is somewhat slender, articulation between second and third segments not oblique; inner margin of third segment slightly longer than the distal margin with only a very small setiferous lobe at the distal end. The antennal scale is less broad than is usual in other species of the genus; the spine marking the distal end of the unarmed portion of the outer margin is extremely small, but quite clearly developed; distal articulation very oblique; apex bluntly pointed and markedly asymmetrical (Fig. 7 A). Endopods of the second to the fourth thoracic appendages long and slender with the dactylus and nail relatively very long (Fig. 7B). Uropods with the exopods shorter than the endopods and the terminal segment half as long again as broad at its proximal end. Telson slightly longer than the uropods; apex bluntly and evenly rounded. (Fig. 7C). Suborder Mysida Family PETALOPHTHALMIDAE Czerniavsky This family is characterized by the absence of gills on the thoracic appendages; the presence of seven pairs of oostegites in the female; the undivided propodus of the thoracic endopods; the biramous pleopods of the male (with the endopod of the fifth pair modified in the genus Hansenomysis) and the reduced pleopods of the female; the absence of a statocyst on the endopod of the uropod; the two- segmented
