setiferous. Pleon of male granular, 4th segment with 2 submedian 

 bosses and one lateral tubercle, telson with 2 submedian tubercles- 

 near base and 2 more prominent ones in the centre, apex tritid, the 

 median lobe not as long as lateral ones. Pleon of female granular 

 and setiferous especially towards sides, 4th segment with 2 sub- 

 median tubercles, telson with 2 submedian tubercles, apex with a 

 notch barely visible in dorsal view, at each apical angle and at the 

 top of the notch is a small tubercle. 



Flagellum of first antenna 13-jointed in both sexes, that of second 

 antenna 17-jointed in $ , 15-jointed in $ . 



Outer lobe of first maxilla in $ and unmodified ? with 10 spines. 



Maxilliped of modified $ with a few setules on inner plate and 

 the 4 terminal joints quite smooth, 2nd joint with long marginal 

 setae. 



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

 margin of 4th, 5th and 6th joints respectively with 7, 5 and 6 spines 

 in 3,5, 5 and 6 in $ . 



First to third pleopods with 3 hooked spines on inner apical angle. 

 Male stylet on second pleopod extending beyond ramus. 



Uropocis of $ , both rarni pointed, outer rather narrower and longer 

 than inner, both extending some distance beyond telsonic apex ; of ? , 

 inner ramus truncate, with sharp outer apical angle, outer ramus 

 shorter than and folding some way but not completely under inner 

 ramus, apex bluntly pointed, both rami minutely setulose and extend- 

 ing only a short way beyond telsonic apex. 



A smaller specimen (No. A44), 14 mm. x 6'5 mm., differs from 

 the above only in the more conspicuous granulations on the peraeon 

 segments, the stronger pubescence on the ui'opods and the smallness 

 of the median lobe of telsonic apex. The Bast London specimens- 

 all agree with this smaller specimen ; the larger of the two measures 

 15 mm. ; 7'5 mm. 



Length: 3 21mm., 2 14mm.; breadth: 3 10 mm., ? 7'5mm.
