(2 ovig.) 4-5 mm. Remarks. All the peraeon segments tend to develop corrugations or humps, not keels, especially segments 3 and 4 in the 6*; pleon segments 1-3 also gibbous, especially segment 1 in the c? (cf. Bate, 1862, pi. xlvi, fig. 8, darwini = variegatus). Second joints of peraeopods 1 and 2 linear. Sixth joint of gnathopod 2 in $ broader than in Dana's figure. The identification is not at all certain. The corrugated dorsal profile would seem to exclude it from brasiliensis, and I would have suggested variegatus had not Stebbing already recorded Dana's species from the Falkland Islands. Podocerus septemcarinatus, Schell. (Fig. 154). Schellenberg, 1926, p. 388, fig. 68 (paper received at Brit. Mus. June 18). Monod, 1926, p. 61, figs. 59, 60 (hystricoides) (publ. August 20).

A figure is here given of the hand of gnathopod 2 of a more fully grown <$ than the Gauss specimens appear to have been. The Belgica and Gauss specimens are undoubtedly the same species, and I have to thank Dr Caiman of the British Museum for informing me of the date when Schellenberg's paper, which bears no date of publication other than the year, was received at the British Museum library.
