LILJEBORGIA SHETLANDICA. 207 



wrist short, and slightly produced inferiorly ; the 

 hands dilated, ovate, tapering from the base to the 

 distal extremity, the palm being continuous with the in- 

 ferior margin, and fringed with long hairs, a depression 

 near the centre marking the extent to which the very 

 short finger reaches. The finger of this and the preced- 

 ing pair has the inner margin smooth. The two suc- 

 ceeding pairs of legs are small ; the last three have the 

 thighs, which gradually narrow from the base to the distal 

 extremity, posteriorly serrated. The last pair of caudal 

 appendages are wanting in all the specimens that we have 

 seen. The central tail-piece is very deeply cleft. 



Several specimens of this species have been taken by 

 the Rev. A. M. Norman, in forty fathoms, near Whalsey 

 Lighthouse, and in from two to five fathoms, in Outer 

 Skerries Harbour, Shetland.
