Distribution.—Irish coast (Farran); south of Iceland (With); North Sea (van Breemen) ; Monaco Expedition (Sars) ; Bay of Biscay (With). Color.—Not yet observed in the living copepod. Female.—Head considerably narrowed anteriorly; posterior corners of fifth segment short and sharply pointed; urosome only one-fifth as long as metasome; first antennae a little longer than the body; the three segments of the fifth legs about the same length; the three spines of the terminal segment subequal in size, all three ciliated; inner margins of the two basal segments with scattered spines; poste- rior surface of terminal seg- ment and distal end of second segment densely covered with stiff hairs. Total length, mm. Male.—Posterior corners of fifth segment sharper than in the female; basal segments of first antennae considerably enlarged, with tumid out- growths ; urosome longer than in the female; fifth legs slen- der and elongate, each 5-seg- mented, the right leg reaching beyond the center of the third segment of the left leg; the latter shows a stout spine at the inner distal corner of the second segment, which may represent the rudiments of an endopod. Total length, mm. Rema/rks.—The two specimens here recorded were both badly dam- aged, so that any detailed description of the male is impossible. Fortunately the fifth legs were uninjured, and are represented in Figure 45, b. The tumid padlike outgrowths on the basal segments of the first antennae are unique, but seem to be natural rather than pathological; and, if so, furnish an excellent recognition FiGUHB 45.—Xanthocalanus greenii: a, Female, dorsal (after Farran) ; 6, male, fifth legs; c, end segment of left fifth exopod; d, female, fifth leg.
