REPORT ON THE AxMPHIPODA. 829 



in several rows, giving a darkened appearance to the centre ^jart in spirit-preserved 

 specimens ; the second and third joints each have a long and a short spine at the apex 

 in front, the third joint is broader and a little longer than the fourth, and has a spine on 

 the apex behind ; the fourth joint, a little longer and broader than the fifth, has two 

 groups of spines in front and an apical group behind, the hind margin tending to 

 concave ; the fifth joint has the hind margin straight, forming a small finely fringed cap 

 over the base of the finger, and has two seta-like spines at this apex, and spines at 

 two points of the front margin ; the finger is almost straight, slender, with some fine 

 pectination on two edges. 



The descriptions of the peraeopods apply to the specimen figured, a female ; in the 

 other specimen which has been alluded to, these limbs showed in many parts a 

 diminished breadth in comparison with the length. 



Pleopods. — Peduncles short, not longer than broad ; the pair of coupling spines 

 slightly sinuous, tapering, apically hooked, with five minute serratures on the margin 

 below the hook ; with these spines there is a plumose seta ; the outer rami with eight to 

 ten joints, the inner with six or seven, the first joint not very long, and carrying two 

 cleft spines on its upper part. 



Uropods. — Peduncles of the first pair rather longer than the rami, with a strong 

 apical spine, besides two or three marginal sj^ines and a row of marginal spinules ; the 

 rami stiliform, subequal, that which is rather the longer having one marginal spine ; the 

 second pair reaching little beyond the peduncles of the first, the peduncles armed 

 with two or three spines, not longer than the slender, smooth, subequal rami ; the third 

 pair reaching much beyond the second, the peduncles shorter than the outer ramus, 

 darkened by a large packet of gland-cells, apically bordered wdtli spinules ; the outer 

 ramus as if two-jointed, the nail apart from its apical seta being as long as the stem, 

 which has spines on either side of the base of the nail, the inner branch rather resembling 

 a broad tapering spine, not reaching the base of the nail of the outer branch, carrying 

 a small cilium near the top. 



Telson reaching a little beyond the peduncles of the third uropods, rather longer than 

 the breadth at the base, cleft nearly to the root, the halves not in the least dehiscent, 

 unless a little near the sharp apices ; each half has a pair of cilia on the outer margin 

 near the apex, another a little higher up, and a single cilium on the surface high up. 



Length. — The specimen figured measured, in its bent position, less than three- 

 twentieths of an inch. 



Locality. — Off Cumberland Bay, Kerguelen ; from a depth of 120 fathoms. Five 

 specimens. 



Hemarks. — The specific name is derived from the Greek word kaxyrjeaa-a, woolly, 

 shaggy, and refers to the hairiness of the integument. The rostral prolongation of the
