A dodecapodous pycnogonid
Among of Pycnogonida obtained by Sir Douglas Mawson, F. R. S., on his latest voyage to the Antarctic is a specimen presenting the novel and remarkable feature of having six pairs of legs. It is of relatively gigantic size, spanning 20 inches from tip to tip of its outstretched legs, and represents a...
