right in considering the fig. 21 (not fig. 2 1 1 ) given in Goes's paper to be referable 

 to the present species, and not, as suggested by Boeck, to M. vnyrrf/ic/ix. 

 In his short diagnosis Goes, moreover, makes mention of the characteristic 

 nodi form projection of the 2nd joint of the superior antennae, of which there 

 is no trace in any of the other species, and which indeed has given rise to 

 the specific apellation proposed by Boeck for this species. 



Occurrence. Though nowhere in any abundance, I have met with this 

 form in several places off the west coast of Norway, as also in the Trond- 

 hjerasfjord, in depths ranging from 50 to 100 fathoms. It also occurs off the 

 Finmark coast, having been found by Mr. Schneider in the neighbourhood of 

 Tromso and by myself in the Varangerfjord. 



Distribution. Spitsbergen (Goes), Greenland (Hansen).

Body a little more slender than in the 3 preceding species, and rather 

 compressed. Cephalon not attaining the length of the 3 anterior segments 

 of mesosome combined, frontal part but little produced, and evenly convex 

 anteriorly, rostrum very short and obtuse, scarcely reaching beyond the middle 

 of the basal joint of the superior antennas, lateral corners of cephalon rather 

 produced, but obtusely truncated at the tip. First pair of coxal plates con- 

 siderably expanded in their outer part, 4th pair scarcely deeper than the 

 corresponding segment, and having the infero-posteal corners but little produced. 

 Eyes comparatively small, rounded, but of usual appearance, pigment dark 

 red. Superior antennae not attaining the length of the cephalon and the 3 

 anterior segments of mesosome combined, joints of the peduncle successively 

 diminishing in size, flagellum about the length of the peduncle, and composed 

 of 10 articulations. Inferior antennae somewhat longer than the superior, 

 last joint of the peduncle a little shorter than the penultimate one, flagellum 

 about the length of the peduncle. Both pairs of gnathopoda rather strong, 

 the anterior ones having the propodos considerably expanded and oval in 

 form, with the palm much longer than the hind margin, carpal lobe compara- 

 tively short. Posterior gnathopoda af somewhat unusual form, the propodos 

 being very large, oblong oval in form and somewhat widening distally, with 

 the palm very oblique and about the length of the hind margin, carpal pro- 

 cess unusually small, scarcely extending beyond the middle of the hind margin 

 of the propodos. The 2 anterior pairs of pereiopoda moderately strong, with
