very short and broad, gradually decreasing in breadth 

 to the fifteenth, which is about as long as broad ; last 

 two joints more slender, about twice as long as broad,

Hob. Off Seaham Harbour (Durham) dredged in a 

 depth of twenty to thirty fathoms. One specimen only 

 taken. 



The type specimen of this species having been 

 destroyed in dissection, I have now no opportunity of 

 confirming the original description, and, though enter- 

 taining some doubt as to its distinctness, I retain it 

 provisionally until its claim to specific rank can be 

 further investigated.
