structure. In the second pair the terminal part is shaped rather like 

 a stocking with a very slender foot and a binding at the knee (really 

 consisting of muscles). 



In the first antennae the second and tlmxl joints of the peduncle 

 are subequal, each a little shorter than the first and longer than the 

 principal ten -jointed flagellum. 



The mandibles are strong, rather short, with the palp apparently 

 slight, three- jointed. The first and second maxillae and the first 

 maxillipeds are in close agreement with those figured by Milne- 

 Edwards and Bouvier for C. granulatus (Norman). In their figure of 

 the second maxillipeds they represent the flagellum of the exopod as 

 preceded by a short joint, starting from a point where in our species 

 there is a marginal tooth, but no articulate division of the elongate 

 main joint of the exopod. 



In the c'helipeds the short, strongly-curved wrist shows some sharp 

 teeth on the inner side. In the second peraeopod the fourth joint is 

 decidedly longer than the finger. In the third peraeopod it is equal in 

 length to the finger. The French authors say in regard to these limbs 

 that, the fourth joint is longer than the sixth and a little shorter than 

 the fingers. In the fourth and fifth peraeopods they write that the 

 fingers are "tres arques" ; but their figure does not give the effect of a 

 sharply-bent hook as found in the present species. 



The carapace measures about 7 mm. in length by 6 mm. in 

 breadth.

Two female specimens, with no limbs, but each containing nine or 

 ten large eggs, agree closely in appearance with the male, one having 

 just the same dimensions of the carapace ; in the pleou, however, the 

 outer margins of the first and second segments show almost a con- 

 tinuous curve, instead of a re-entering angle, and the second is the 

 longest of all the segments.
