The three foregoing species are not to be separated at a glance, but the examination of hundreds of specimens of each shows that the differ- ences here mentioned are constant. NECTOCRANGON CALIFORNIENSIS Rathbun. Nectocrangon californiensis Rathbun, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxiv, 892, 1902. Allied to N. ovifer. Represented only by small specimens which differ from specimens of N. ovifer of equal size. The anterior margin outside the orbital fissure is fur- nished with two spines close together, instead of one in the allied species. The eyes are smaller than in N. ovifer, but have a prominent tubercle. The spine of the antennal scale extends only slightly beyond the blade. The hands are from three and a half to four times p^" ^"'^ ^''•^°'""" as long as wide; they have the spine situated nearer the proximal end. Fig. 80. Nectocrangon californiensis (X . Station 3664. a.
