in a comb-like manner. Posterior antenna? with the distal joint comparatively 

 -Imrt, outer raiiius attached near the end of the proximal joint, and fully as long 

 a-- the distal joint. Mandilmlar palp with the rami of moderate si/e and simply 

 setilerous. Posterior maxillipeds rather powerful, hand oval fusiform in shape. 

 with an oblique row of delicate spinules crossing its base. 1st pair of legs with 

 the outer raiiius much shorter than the inner, middle joint with a rather strong 

 plumox,. seta inside, last joint much smaller and armed with 3 curved spines and 

 1 somewhat longer seta-; inner ramus with the 1st joint rather dilated and carry- 

 ing inside, somewhat beyond the middle, a strong plumose seta, the outer 2 joints 

 well developed and combined nearly attaining the length of the 1st. each with a 

 well-marked seta inside, last joint armed moreover at the tip with '2 unequal 

 daw-like spines and a slender plumose seta. Natatory legs of usual structure. 

 and having both rami coarsely spinulose outside. Last pair of legs each forming 

 an irregular lamella divided in the middle by a deep incision into two rounded 

 setiferous lobes, the outer one provided near the base with a small hair-like 

 bristle and carrying moreover 5 marginal seta3, the outer 2 of which are falci- 

 form curved and clothed along the outer edge with coarse spinules; inner lobe 

 a little more prominent and likewise edged with 5 setoe, the outer 2 of which

/'< murks. This form, as above mentioned, was at first described by Th. 

 as a species of the genus Dactylopusia-, and was subsequently by the 



author referred to the genus /ilmtiene Philippi, to which it undoubtedly 

 bears a near relation, (^uite recently, however, Th. Scott has proposed for its 

 r-'eeption the new genus Moment-Hit, which I believe ought to be supported. 



Occurrence. A solitary female specimen of this form was taken, some 

 years a.L'o. at Risor, south coast of Norway, from a depth of about 20 fathoms. 

 Another specimen I found in a sample taken at Aalesund on the west coast. 



Distribution. Scottish coast (Scott), Polar Islands north of Grinnell 

 Land (L'nd Frani Kxp.l.
