Oceanography. Fig. 423. Phronima. (From common species, which wu be dealt Fig. 424. Parathemisto oblivia, Kroyer (|). (From Sars.) with later on, present peculiarities in their biology and distribution. Most of the pelagic decapoda be- long to the more primitive divisions of the group, viz. Sergestidae, Peneidae, Pasiphaeidae, and Hoplophoridae, but a truly pelagic Pandalid (Plestonika nana, n. sp.) was taken at most of the stations from Spain to Newfound- land. The genus Acanthephyra of the Hoplophoridae (see Plate III. Chapter X.) includes large red prawn-like forms, of which no less than eight different species were taken. On the section between Newfoundland and Ireland the two species A. purpurea and A. multispina were in special abundance. Before the cruise of the " Michael Sars" only fifteen individuals belonging to the genus Notostomus, representing no less than thirteen species, had been recorded. We procured nineteen individuals in the North Atlantic belonging to five species, of which four are new to.
