present description, and if necessary will rename the South African 

 specimens. For the present, problematical differences cannot be used 

 as a reason for separating the forms. 



E. filiformis is easily distiugished by its keeled telson. No other 

 species in the family has a keeled telsou except Haliophasma purpurea 

 Haswell, and this species (whose generic position is still uncertain) 

 has 3 longitudinal keels. E. macrura Brnrd. has slight indications, 

 at the base, of 3 keels or rather of 2 submediau grooves, but they are 

 very indistinct and do not reach more than half way towards the 

 apex.

A fine specimen from the " Pieter Faure " collection leaves no 

 doubt that the specimens mentioned in my previous paper were rightly 

 assigned to Stimpson's species. The specimen came from just outside 

 False Bay and is yellowish with black speckling on the dorsal surface. 

 The sex is not appai'ent, but it is probably an immature female. 



Length : 15 mm. ; breadth : 1'5 mm. 



Locality : Cape Haugklip N. by E., distant 12 miles. 73 fathoms. 

 1 specimen, s.s. " Pieter Faure." 19/11/03. (S.A.M. No. A4168). 



The specimen was found in the central cavity of a calcareous sponge 

 of the genus Leuconia.

This genus was instituted to receive an Anthurid collected off the 

 coast of Dakar in deep water by the " Talisman.' 1 It is characterised 

 by the rudimentary outer ramus of the uropod a feature quite unique 

 in the family. Although two specimens were found, the nature of the 

 mouth parts was left undetermined. Moreover for purposes of specific
