by the llev. Stebbing from the Challenger Expedition as T. Borcki does not 

 seem to differ in any essential manner from male specimens of the present 

 species. 



Occtirrci/cc. 1 have found this interesting- form in three different 

 localities on the west coast of Norway, viz., at Folgero and Sunde in 

 Sondhordland, and in the Foldeiifjord at Apelvser. In all 3 places it was 

 procured by the dredge from comparatively great depths, SO 200 fins. Boeck 

 collected his specimens likewise at a considerable depth in the outer part of 

 the Hardangerfjord, at Lyngholmen.

Fam. 3. Scinidae. 



Cephalon small, not tumeficated. Eyes very minute. Superior antemuv 

 rather large, straight, styliform, divergent, similar in the two sexes; inferior 

 antennae in female quite rudimentary, in male very slender and angularly 

 bent. Mandibles without palps. Maxillae well developed. Maxillipeds with 

 lanceolate terminal lobes. Grnatnopoda simple, not subehelate. Pereiopoda 

 very slender, the 3 posterior pairs rather unequal, with narrow basal joints, 

 last pair the smallest. Metasome in female not very powerful, epimeral 

 plates small. Urosome depressed. Uropoda imperfectly developed, more or 

 less sword-shaped. Telson very minute. 



Ilfntr/,-. This is a very anomalous group of Hyperids, differing 

 from the typical forms in many respects, among others by the very small 

 eyes and the less powerful development of the metasome. The structure of 

 the oral parts and of the urosome is, however, evidently Hyperidean in 

 character. The family comprises as yet but a single genus.

Body in female rather tumid, attenuated posteriorly. Cephalon trunc-
