posed of 5 articulations, accessory appendage 3-articulate, with the 1st arti- 

 culation about as long as the other 2 combined. Anterior gnathopoda of 

 the very same appearance as in the typical species of Dulicliia. Posterior 

 gnathopoda differing from the anterior in the fact of the carpus being shorter 

 and the propodos larger and broader, regularly oval in form. Anterior pairs of 

 pereiopoda moderately slender, with the basal joint but slightly expanded; 

 the 3 posterior pairs not very much elongated, but of a structure similar 

 to that in the genus Dulicliia. First pair of uropoda rather strongly built, 

 with the basal part oblong quadrangular, and edged outside with about 8 

 spines, rami slender and elongated, being densely edged with small spines, 

 inner ramus somewhat longer than the outer, and fully twice as long as the 

 basal part; 2nd pair extremely small, and partly concealed by the telson, 

 consisting on each side of a simple, conically-tapering joint, armed with one 

 apical, and 2 lateral spines. Telson oval, rounded at the tip. Body pale 

 yellow, ornamented with irregular patches of a brownish pigment. Length of 

 adult female 5 mm. 



Eemarks. Only the female sex has hitherto been observed. Perhaps, 

 in the structure of the posterior gnathopoda, the male may be found to reveal 

 some more striking differences from the genus Dulicliia. 



Occurrence. - I have seen only a few specimens of this form, which 

 were collected in the outer part of the Hardangerfjord from a depth of about 

 30 fathoms. The specimens examined by Boeck were likewise from the 

 Hardangerfjord. Out of Norway, this form has not yet been recorded.
