the lateral margins. The body presents no processes or tubercles of any kind, though 

 the integument appears granular to a certain extent, due probably to extraneous 

 matter and not a definite character of the integument itself. The mouth parts and 

 pleopods agree with the characters of the sub-family Sph&rominse eulranchiata. 



(2) Station 482, Saldanha Bay, Cape Colony, May 1904. One female, 6 mm. 

 (Plate, figs. 9 and 10.) 



The body is quite smooth, without tubercles or processes of any kind whatever. 

 The colour is a golden yellow minutely flecked with black pigment. The telson is 

 similar in form to that of the last specimen, but less abruptly narrowed, with a wider 

 apex, and less inwardly folded margins. The result is that, from the dorsal aspect, 

 the apex of the telson appears slightly emarginate. 



The telsonic segment and uropods are shown on Plate, fig. 9. The most 

 characteristic feature of the specimen is the form of the superior antenna (Plate, 

 fig. 10), in which the second joint of the peduncle is very broad, with a strong ridge 

 throughout its whole length, so that in cross-section it would appear triangular and 

 not lamellar. The third joint is quite small and distally expanded. 



Further specimens of both these forms are desirable before their systematic position 

 can be determined.
