A'. /,/'///-. The above-described form agrees on the whole so closely with 

 that reeoid.-d by Th. Scott, that I cannot but believe it to belong to the same 

 sp. cies, though it is of somewhat smaller size and more slender form of body 

 than indicated in the figures given by Th. Scott. I have also failed to detect in 

 any of my specimens even the slightest trace of the peculiar prominences ("lenses") 

 mention, d by T. Scott as occurring on each side of the cephalic segment behind, 

 and Been both in his figure of the female and that of the male. 



Occurrence. -Some few specimens of this peculiar form, all of the female 

 picked up from samples taken last summer at Korshavn from a depth 

 of ;ibout '2n fathoms, sandy bottom.
