glycerine. The second, third, and fourth segments are the longest and by far stouter 

 than those which follow. The segments are imbricated. The relative lengths of the 

 legs do not seem to differ very strikingly from those of the species just described. 

 The telson, so far as appears in the undissected specimen, is a little more than half the 

 length of the peduncles of the third uropods.

The specimen here figured has not passed through my hands. The woodcuts 

 represent two drawings by the late v. Willemoes Suhm, who appended the following 

 notes : —

"Augen fehlen. Rothe Pigmentflecken ca. lj mm. im Dchm. am ersten Ring. 

 Maxillipedtaster fehlen. Lange von Schwanz-Ende bis zur Spitze 2ten Segm. 42 mm.

Fig. 2a is reduced to half the size of the original drawing. Fig. 2 is a facsimile of 

 the original. So far as can be judged from the measurements given, the total length 

 of the specimen was about two inches. It is probably to this specimen that Pagenstecher 

 refers (see Note, 1879, p. 497) in the words, " Eine Hyperide von 7 cm. nur mit rothen 

 Pigmentflecken statt der Augen in grossen Tiefen der Arusee." But " 7 cm." is the 

 measurement of the figure from the rostrum to the apex of the third uropods, and the
