antennae, carry long feathered setae, and have an exopod 

 which does not reach the end of the antepenultimate joint. 

 First peraeopods much stouter than second. Wrist of second 

 peraeopods with not fewer than ten jointlets. The carapace 

 with rostrum measures 16 mm., the remainder of the body 

 20 mm.

 Bate's 3 specimens were obtained by the "Challenger" at the 

 Agulhas Bank, from a depth of 150 fathoms. The 3 specimens 

 from the South African Museum are without notification of 

 special locality. Though all imperfect, they show so many 

 points of agreement with Bate's account that I am disposed to 

 attribute discrepancies either to his imperfect observation or 

 to variation within the species. Thus the only perfect carapace 

 has 8 dorsal teeth, of which 5 with appearance of articulation are 

 behind the orbit, the remaining 3 on the rostrum are not articu- 

 lated; there are only two little ventral teeth, both in advance 

 of the dorsal series. According to Bate " the frontal margin 

 beyond the orbit has no well-defined teeth." In our specimen 

 it has a well-marked antennal tooth, and a small antero-lateral.
