36. S. cornigentm, n'. sp. Extremely rare. 



Small ; length and breadth equal ; semi-cells oval, diverging 

 widely from the isthmus, which is broad ; sides with one 

 simple or deeply cleft stout spine ; end with about six small 

 emarginate spines, and two rows of similar spines within the 

 margin ; end view triangular, with a stout spine at each 

 angle, and about four small emarginate spines on the margin 

 of the straight sides, and one row of similar spines within 

 the margin. 



Length and breadth, 2 7 //, without side spines ; isthmus, 

 ii //,; length of spine, 9 // (Plate IV. fig. 5).

In the stake nets at Goswick Salmon Fishery, belonging to Sir
