HERMAPHRODITE. 277 



Outer Maxilla, with the inner edge slightly concave, 

 continuously covered with bristles ; exteriorly, with a 

 prominence covered with longer bristles. Olfactory orifices 

 prominent, protected by a slight punctured swelling be- 

 tween the bases of the first pair of cirri. 



Cirri. — Prosoma moderately developed ; first pair of 

 cirri rather far removed from the second pair. The seg- 

 ments of the three posterior pair are not elongated, short, 

 slightly protuberant in front, bearing four or five pairs of 

 strong spines ; a little below each pair, there is an inter- 

 mediate tuft of very fine straight bristles, of which the 

 upper tuft is the largest ; on the lateral upper rims there 

 are some short, strong spines ; dorsal tufts rather small 

 and thick ; spines all more or less serrated, especially on 

 the broad basal segments of the three anterior cirri. 

 Pedicels of the cirri not particularly protuberant in front. 

 First cirrus with rami, slightly unequal in length ; not 

 short ; basal segments much thicker and more protuberant 

 than the upper segments. Second cirrus ; anterior ramus 

 with six or seven basal segments highly protuberant, and 

 crowded with spines ; posterior ramus with about six seg- 

 ments, similarly characterised. Third cirrus with the 

 anterior ramus having six, and the posterior ramus five 

 segments, also similarly characterised. 



Caudal Appendages absent, there being only a slight 

 swelling on each side of the anus. 



The oesophagus runs parallel to the labrum, and enters 

 obliquely the summit of the stomach, which is destitute 

 of caeca : the biliary envelope is longitudinally plicated. 



There are no filamentary Appendages. 



Testes large, branched like a stag's horns, attached in 

 a sheet to the ventral surface of the stomach : the vesiculae 

 seminales enter the prosoma, and have their reflexed ends 

 not very blunt. The Penis is rather narrow, with the 

 terminal half plainly ringed, and bearing tufts of fine 

 bristles arranged in circles, one tuft below the other ; on 

 the basal half there are only a few scattered minute 

 bristles.
