Length of adult female 1.50 mm. 



Male unknown. 



Remarks. The figure given by Hesse does not leave any doubt on the 

 identity of the above-described form with that observed by him, and it is like- 

 wise quite certain that the form recorded by Scott under the name of Enter- 

 opsis wararensis is the same species. Its very peculiar outward appearance 

 renders it indeed easily recognisable from any other members of the present 

 family. 



Occurrence. Some female specimens of this peculiar Copepod were ob- 

 tained, many years ago, at Espevaer, west coast of Norway. They were found 

 in a species of Botryllns, taken up from a depth of about 20 fathoms. 



Distribution. Coast of France (Hesse), Scottish coast (Scott).

Gen. Buprorus, Thorell. 



(See p. 61) 



Of this remarkable genus, hitherto only represented by a solitary species, 

 B. Love'ni Thorell, I have recently had an opportunity of examining a well 

 defined new species, to be described below. 



29. Buprorus Nordgaardi, G. O. Sars, n. sp. 



(Pi. XXXVII, 1.) 



Specific Characters. Female. Body exhibiting the short bag-like form 

 characteristic of the genus, though having the cephalic part considerably more 

 exerted, and the posterior part, limiting the incubatory cavity, greatly expanded 

 and broadly rounded off behind. Dorsal face of trunk exhibiting throughout 

 a dense clothing of small scale-like prickles. Anterior antennae resembling in 

 shape those in B. Love'ni, being however divided into 7 well defined joints 

 clothed in front with rather strong and somewhat unequal curved setae, the 3 

 outermost joints much smaller than the others. Posterior antenna with the 

 terminal joint nearly as large. as the middle one and armed on the transversely 

 truncated extremity with a stout spine followed by 4 somewhat curved sets.
