//,>. 1 think 1 am right in identifying the above-described form with 

 /s ol Clans, as it on the whole agrees rather well with the 

 short description and figures given by that author. It is a very distinct species, 

 easily recognisable by the non-produced genital segment in the female, and the 

 poor development of the posterior maxillipeds and of the last pair of legs. 



Otriim'xi-i'. Several specimens of this small < 'opepod were found some 

 years ago at Skutesnses, S\Y coast of Norway, in a depth of about 20 fathoms.

(Suppl. PI. !. H-. 2). 



Y' ' i fa- < 'htinirh'i-*. Ft mull'. Cephalic segment with a well-marked chitinous 

 stripe across the back, postero-lateral corners acutely produced; rostral prominence 

 distinct, angular. Genital segment forming below 2 thin juxtaposed lamellae, 

 rectangular in front, and each produced behind into a narrow spur-like deflexed 

 process. Distal part of urosome scarcely projecting. Anterior antenna* rather 

 slender and distinctly 8-articulate. Posterior maxillipeds of moderate si/e, with 

 the hand oblong oval in form, palmar edge slightly arched in front, dactylus 

 moderately strong. Last pair of legs with the inner expansion of proximal joint 

 normally developed, anterior edge curved and finely ciliated in its proximal half, 

 earning moreover the usual :> short seta-, distal joint extending beyond the said 

 expansion.

 -pi i -ie> by the peculiar spur-like processes issuing from the genital segment below,
