\\ell developed, and, as well as the three pairs of foot-jaws 

 ({'. 1 6, (/, c), exactly resemble those of Diaptomus. 



The four anterior pairs of % feet' (f. 1 y) are all alike, 

 and consist of a basal stalk of two articulations, and two 

 branches of unequal size. The inner branch is much 

 the smaller, but both are divided into two joints. The 

 posterior or fifth pair is almost exactly similar to the 

 corresponding pair in Diaptomus. 



I have never found this species alive, having only seen 

 it preserved in spirits.
