After examining, as far as possible, Krauss' exsiccated type speci- 

 men, I decided that the characters were not definite enough to 

 separate it from D. kraussi (the Sphaeroma savignii of Krauss). 

 It might very well be a young and abnormal specimen of that 

 species. Since then, however, specimens have been collected in 

 Table Bay, which prove to be adult and which show the bituber- 

 culate character of the telson very much more pronounced than 

 in Krauss' specimen. 



Though described as " smooth," the body is in reality (both in 

 the type specimen and the Table Bay specimens) very finely 

 granular. In respect to convexity it is intermediate between 

 D. kraussi and D. ovalis. 



The following details are taken from the fresh specimens : 



First antenna scarcely reaching middle of first peraeon segment, 

 the keel on the upper margin of 2nd peduncular joint very promi- 

 nent, flagellum 9-jointed. 



Second antenna reaching nearly to middle of 3rd peraeon segment, 

 flagellum 16-jointed. 



Epistome as in D. ovalis, the proximal margin scarcely marked 

 off from the lateral margins. 



First peraeopod, third joint not very strongly expanded on outer 

 distal margin. 



Male appendages on 7th peraeon segment contiguous, stout, 

 apices blunt. 



First to third pleopods with 4 hooked spines on inner apex of 

 peduncle. 



Length : 6'5 mm. ; breadth : 3'5 mrn. 



Colour : Grey with greenish or brownish spots and streaks, the 

 anterior portion of pleon usually darker than, the telson lighter than, 

 the peraeon, 2nd joint of all peraeopods dark brownish. 



Locality : Sea Point, near Gape Town. 15/11/13. (K.H.B.) 3 $ , 

 ovigerous 5 ? and young. (S.A.M. No. A2608.) 



Type in the Stuttgart Museum. 



DYNAMENELLA moxus, n. sp. 

 (Plate XXXIV. E.) 



Body finely granular, with long scattered hairs, most numerous 

 on the epimera. First peraeon segment nearly as long as head 

 and longer than the other segments. Seventh segment with two 

 large submedian processes extending to middle of the telson and 

 almost completely concealing the anterior segments of the pleon.
