PARAPRONOE CLAUSI Stebbing. 

 1888. Paraprono'p. clausi Stebbing, I.e. p. 1526, pi. 190. 



A few small differences are observable between the Australian and 

 South African specimens : 



Fii-st gnathopod, 5th joint not longer than 4th, more as in P. crustu- 

 lum Glaus (see figure by Stebbing, I.e. pi. 193A). 



Second gnathopod, the inner margin of the process of 4th joint even 

 more convex than in Stebbing's figure and more strongly dentate, the 

 inner margin of the 5th joint on the contrary less convex. 



Telsou in the female comparatively broader, about 1-J- times as long 

 as basal breadth, apex reaching the apex of the inner ramus of 3rd 

 uropod. In the smaller (? g ) specimen the telson like the typical 

 form . 



The mouth parts were not examined since they seemed firmly 

 united into a solid mass, perhaps due in some manner to the method 

 of conservation. 



Length: ? 25 mm., (?) $ 17 mm., embryos from brood-pouch 

 1 mm. 



Colour : In spirit, yellowish-brown, without spots of any colour. 



Locality ; East London NW. i N., distant 20 miles. 400 fathoms.
