. Discovery reports. Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. 388 DISCOVERY REPORTS Rostrum very short, extending only to end of peduncle of antenna. Supra-orbital spines large; carapace rounded behind. Abdominal somites 1-5 without dorsal spines; somites i, 4, 5 with pleura rounded, somites 2 and 3 with long pleural spine on either side. Somite 6 with small terminal dorsal spine, but no lateral or anal spines. Telson narrow, shorter than uropods, with pair of small apical spines and six setae between. Endopod of antenna about two-thirds length of scale. Maxillule without trace of palp. Maxillipede i endopod and exopod very small, the former of two segments only. Legs 1-3 with endopods chelate. Legs 4 and 5 rudimentary. Pleopods absent. Uropods large, with many setae. An older specimen of 7-8 mm. differs only in having the endopod of the antenna longer, and in the presence of pleopods. Two specimens from Sts. 1575 and 1578 agree so nearly with those from the Atlantic that they may be assumed to belong to the same species. In one of them the pleura of abdominal somite i were pointed, a difference which may perhaps be specific. Stenopid II (Fig. 7) St. 1575 Stage VI}. Length 12-2 mm. (rostrum 2-1 mm.). Rostrum not reaching end of peduncle of antennule, smooth. Supra-orbital spines small; carapace rounded behind. Abdominal somites 1-5 without dorsal spines, but each with a small procurved pleural spine. Somite 6 with small dorsal, but no lateral or anal Fig. 7. Stenopid II.
