but no apical spines, inner lobe pointed, with 3 apical setae. The 

 long setae on second maxilla are much reduced. Second joint and 

 epipod of the maxilliped enlarged, with long marginal setae, the 

 inner plate and 4 distal joints furnished only with fine setules. 



First peraeopod, 3rd joint with 1 spine on outer apex, inner 

 margins of 4th, 5th and 6th joints w T ith 8, 6 and 7 spines respec- 

 tively. 



A slightly smaller nonovigerous 2 from Natal, with unmodified 

 mouth parts, should also be referred to this species, although the 

 integument is a little rougher than in the Mossel Bay specimens. 

 Also the submedian bosses on telson are IOW T , the tubercles on 4th 

 pleon segment obsolete and the apex of outer ramus of uropods 

 more pointed. 



Length,: $ 22 mm., $ 15 mm. ; breadth: $ 12mm., ? 7*5 mm. 



Colour : In spirit, yellowish white or dull pinkish, without trace of 

 markings. Dr. Purcell gives the colour of his Kalk Bay specimen as 

 " light brown with coeruleous spots." This accords well with the 

 description which Stebbing gives of his specimens.

As stated above, I do not think this can be regarded as the female 

 of C. valida, but must be separated under its former specific name. 

 The male is at present unknown.
