many years ago, at Selven, Trondhjein Fjord, from a depth of about 7 fathoms; 

 the other 2 were picked up from a sample taken at Korshavn, south coast of 

 Norway, from a considerably greater depth, viz., 50 fathoms. 



Gen. Bradya, Boeck. 



Remarks. In the restriction here adopted, only 3 species of this genus 

 have hitherto been recorded, viz., B. typlca Boeck, B. dilatata G. O. Sars, 

 and B. armigera (Scott). I am now enabled to add 5 new species, to be 

 described in the sequel, increasing the number of Norwegian species to 

 8 in all. 



32. Bradya Scotti, G. O. Sars, n. sp. 



(PI. XXVI). 



Specific Characters. Female. Body resembling in shape that of 

 B. typica, though comparatively somewhat more robust, with the anterior 

 division more tumid. Cephalic segment equalling about in length the exposed 

 part of the trunk, and only slightly contracted in front; rostral plate somewhat 

 deflexed and, seen from above, obtusely rounded at the end. Epimeral plates 

 of the 3 succeeding segments well developed and acutangular behind. Last 

 trunkal segment comparatively small and without any distinct epimeral plates. 

 Urosome considerably narrower than the anterior division and exceeding some- 

 what half its length ; genital segment about equalling in length the 2 succeeding 

 segments combined; anal segment much the smallest and only slightly incised 

 behind in the middle. Caudal rami about the length of the anal segment and 

 somewhat divergent; apical setae moderately slender. Antennae, oral parts, and 

 natatory legs of a structure very similar to that in B. typica. Last pair of 

 legs, however, exhibiting some well-marked differences; distal joint compa- 

 ratively larger and more regularly quadrangular in form, with the innermost 

 marginal seta considerably shorter than the middle one; appendieular bristle 

 well developed and attached at some distance from the base of the joint; inner 

 expansion of proximal joint comparatively narrower than in B. typica, with 

 the apical setae very unequal, the inner one much stronger than the outer and 

 nearly 3 times as long. 



Colour of the living animal not yet ascertained. 



Length of adult female 0.88 mm.
