The single specimen does not seem distinguishable from Thomson's 

 species, except in that the lobe on the palm of 2nd gnathopod near 

 hinge is divided into two, the finger is only half the length of palm, 

 and the fringe of setae along both sides of the palmar margin is so 

 thick that the teeth are almost invisible. 



Eyes prominent, forming the antero-lateral angles of head. 



Length : 7 mm. 



Colour : In spirit, pale pinkish. 



Locality: Seal Island SW. | S., distant | mile (False Bay).

PODOOERUS PALINURI 11. Sp. 



(Plate XXVIII. Fig. 23.) 



Remarkably close to P. hystrix Stebbing, 1910. It will be enough . 

 to enumerate the distinguishing characters. 



Head with a low rounded keel, without elevated process ; eyes 

 prominent, forming the antero-lateral angles. 



Dorsal process on anterior half of peraeou segment 1 short and 

 rounded, that on posterior halt' quite obsolete. Subdorsal processes 

 present on peraeon segments 5-7 only, and these very feeble. Lower 

 margins of segments without processes, only slightly thickened, chiefly 

 on the posterior segments, rounded, overhanging the side-plates, all of 

 which have the lower margins straight or slightly convex, not produced 

 downwards, the 1st produced forwards acutely. 



First antenna, flagelluni 7-jointed. 



First gnathopod not alike in the two sexes, in <$ palm oblique and 

 longer than hind margin, in ? transverse and shorter than hind 



margin. 



Second gnathopod in <$ similar to that of P. hystrix, but the finger 

 is less strongly bent near the base, and the large, flat tooth near the 

 hinge and small, conical one below it are more prominent ; in ? palm
