excavate; finger matching palm, with many decuiTent teeth on its inner 

 margin. Gnathopod 2 smaller, 5*^ Joint as long as 6*^ and distally a little 

 wider, 6^^ narrowly oblong, palm transverse, very short, convex, just over- 

 lapped by the short finger. Peraeopods 1 and 2 very glandulär; 2^ and 4**^ 

 joints rather robust; finger more tban half as long as 6*^ Joint. Peraeo- 

 pods 3 — 5, 2^ Joint oblong, not much expanded. Peraeopod 4 longer than 

 peraeopod 3, and peraeopod 5 than peraeopod 4; finger in each with inner 

 margin furred, produced into a blunt process caiTying a plumose seta, 

 which overlaps the apex. Uropods 1 and 2, peduncle longer than the rami, 

 which in each are subequal, spinöse, blunt. üropod 3, peduncle short, broad, 

 just reaching beyond the telson; the diminutive rami equal, narrowly oval, 

 inner armed with 3 plumose spinules, outer with a longer apical spine and 

 a spinule above it. Telson broader than long, its distal arch ending in a 

 ßlightly produced blunt point; on each side not far from lateral margins 

 there is a group of plumose setae. L. about 8 mm. 



Off Melbourne. Depth 62 m.

Pleon Segment 6 dorsally well developed. Side-plates shallow. Antennae 1 

 and 2 with peduncle elongate. Antenna 1, 3*^ Joint of peduncle longer than 

 2d QY 2^st^ accessory flagellum small. Mandibular palp very elongate. Gnatho- 

 pod 1 larger than gnathopod 2. Peraeopods 1 — 5, 2*^ Joint little expanded; 

 peraeopod 5 the longest. Uropods 1 and 2, outer ramus considerably shorter 

 than inner, üropod 3, rami almost rudimentary, outer a little longer than 

 inner. Telson simple.

Back rather broadly rounded. Head, rostrum short, acute; lateral 

 lobes acute, a little produced. Side-plates 1 — 4 little deeper than the 

 following; 5*** and 6*^ apparently with an acute bind lobe. Pleon segment 3, 

 postero-lateral corners rounded. Eyes small, round, near the lateral lobes 

 of head. Antennae 1 and 2 elongate. Antenna 1, 1^* Joint rather longer 

 than head; 2*^ considerably longer than V^, 3^ a little longer than 2*^; 

 flagellum shorter than peduncle, 8-joiuted; accessory flagellum 1 slender 

 Joint. Antenna 2 rather longer, ultimate Joint of peduncle a little longer 

 than penultimate; flagellum 9-jointed. Gnathopod 1, 2^ Joint shorter and 

 very much narrower than 6*^; 5*^ rather longer than broad, much shorter 

 and nan'ower than the vei^ lai'ge, oval 6*^ of which the oblique palm is 

 strongly sculptured, with cavities separating a small submedian process from 

 the finger-hinge and fi'om a large tooth, denticulate on the edge which unites 

 with the bind margin of the Joint, the dentate finger closing over this edge 

 against strong palmar spines. Gnathopod 2 smaller, but with longer 5**^ 

 Joint, which is as long as the 6^^; 6*^ oval, rather stout, palm not very 

 oblique, convex, finely pectinate, finger slightly denticulate, closely fitting 

 palm. Peraeopods 1 — 5 not greatly dilfering in length; peraeopod 3 scarcely 

 as long as 1^* or 2^, none of the joints much widened. Uropods 1 and 2,
