p. 595. 



These specimens pi'esent no peculiar features, except that the pleon 

 segments are without a dorsal median tooth ; the telsonic apex and 

 the palms of the 1st and 2nd gnathopods resemble in some specimens 

 Stebbing's figures of E. caesaris, in others those of E. pompeii. The 

 calceoli on the antennae are less numerous, and on the large Sea Point 

 specimen absent altogether. 



Length : 14 mm., specimen from Sea Point 24 mm. 



Colour : In spirit, pale pinkish, eves claret. A specimen picked up 

 on the beach at Sea Point was very nearly dead, and was when found 

 salmon in colour with a large bright red subcii'cular medio-dorsal 

 patch on each of peraeon segments 4 to 7 and pleou segments 1 to 3, 

 surrounded by a lighter ring. In spirit this coloration faded to a 

 uniform white, the eyes dark brown. 



Locality : Umhlaugakulu River mouth NW. by N., distant 7 miles 

 (Natal). 50 fathoms. 3. 14/3/01 ; Sandy Point N. i E., distant 

 10 miles (near Cape Morgan). 93 fathoms. 3. 14/8/01 ; G-lendower 

 Beacon N. -*- W., distant 16 miles. 66 fathoms. 4 d <$ , 1 ovigerous 

 ? . 10/9/01 ; Port Shepstone WNW., distant 2 miles (Natal). 

 24 fathoms. 2. 15/3/01 ; and Cape St. Francis NE., distant 29 

 miles. 75 fathoms. 2. 19/2/02. s.s. " Pieter Faure." Sea Point, 

 near Cape Town. 19/6/14. 1. Washed up on beach after storm. 

 (K.H.B.) (S.A.M. Nos. A228 to A232 and A2908 respectively.) 



Geogr. Distribution: Port Jackson, low-water mark (Haswell) ; off 

 Melbourne, 33 fathoms (Stebbing : E. caesaris) ; Heard Island, 75 

 fathoms (Stebbing : E. pompeii) ; Tuamotu Archipelago, 1 metre 

 (Chevreux) ; New South Wales (Stebbing). 



In 1909 (Subant. Is. N.Z., p. 622) this species was transferred by 

 Chilton to Bovallia in the family Pontogeneiidae. Without disagreeing 

 with Chilton's conclusions I think it best to keep the present South 

 African specimens under the genus Eusiroides. 



CLEONARDOPSIS n.g. 



Very near to C Leonardo Stebbing, but differing in the following 

 features : Body carinate, side-plate 6 hardly bilobed, side-plate 7 not 

 deeper behind than in front, pleon segments narrowed and rounded 

 below, upper lip broader than long, 5th joint of 1st and 2nd giiathopods
