maxillipeds, peraepods, and sometimes the 1st pleopods with minute 

 black pigment-specks. 



Locality : Table Bay, sewage outlet. July, 1896. (Dr. J. D. F. 

 Gilchrist.) 3 $ $ and several 2 2 , some ovigerous. Saldanha 

 Bay, low-tide. 5/9/12. (K.H.B.). 1 ovigerous 2 . (S.A.M. Nos. 

 A84 and A2464.) 



CYMODOCE UMBONATA, n. sp. 

 (Plate XXXIV. C.) 



Very near to C. uncinata. Body granular, the granules arranged 

 more or less distinctly in two transverse rows on peraeon segments, 

 stronger and irregularly arranged on pleon. Head nearly smooth, 

 rostral point setose. Each epimeron with a tuft of setae. Fourth 

 segment of pleon with 2 low submedian tubercles, each with a tuft of 

 setae which are obsolete in the adult $ ; telson with 2 narrow and 

 obscure submedian longitudinal carinae extending to the middle of 

 telson where they end in 2 low tubercules, apex in $ trifid, the 

 median lobe shaped like a large flat-topped button, in 2 obtusely 

 pointed with a notch visible from behind but not in dorsal view ; in 

 young S $ the apex is faintly trifid, the median lobe more pro- 

 minent than the lateral ones, but not button-shaped. 



Flagella of 1st and 2nd antennae respectively 14-16 and 15-17- 

 jointed, peduncle of antennae 1 setose on anterior surface. 



Outer plate of 1st maxilla with 9 spines. 



First peraeopod with 3 spines on outer apex of 3rd joint, and 6, 4 

 and 4 spines respectively on the inner margins of 4th, 5th and 6th 

 joints. 



Male appendages on 7th peraeon segment as in C. lincinalu. 



Pleopods 1-3 with 3 hooked spines on inner apex of peduncle, 

 male stylet on 2nd pleopod half as long again as ramus, stout, 

 tapering rapidly in the distal third to the pointed apex. 



Uropods scarcely reaching telsonic apex, inner ramus truncate, 

 outer folding under inner, obovate, apex tridentate, the outer tooth 

 being half-way up the outer margin, both notches setose, especially 

 the outer one. 



Lciujth : S 15 mm. ; breadth : $ 7'5 mm 



Colour : In spirit, uniform yellowish.

 ture, s.s. " Pieter Faure." (S.A.M. No. A39.) 



Though much like C. uncinata, this species is distinguished by 

 the granulate surface, the tufts of setae round the anterior and
