330 POLLICIPES SERTUS. 



forming the peduncle, (after having been long kept dry, 

 and not having been in spirits,) is dark reddish chocolate- 

 brown; corium of sack dark purple; cirri banded with 

 dark purplish-brown, with the lower parts of the trophi 

 similarly coloured. 



Filamentary Appendages, none, but on the prosoma 

 there are scattered some small papillae, which are rough- 

 ened by finely spinose scales, like combs ; these papillae 

 certainly seem to represent the filaments in Follicipes 

 cornucopia and its two allies. 



Ovigerous Frcena, seated in the same position as in 

 F. spinosus, but rather longer, with an elliptical tuft of 

 glands on the crest. 



Mouthy not placed far from the adductor muscle. 



Zabrum, moderately bullate, with the upper part not over- 

 hanging; no teeth on the crest. Palpi, short, broad, blunt. 



Mandibles, with three main teeth, with either one or 

 two smaller teeth inserted between the first and second, 

 making four or five altogether ; inferior angle rather 

 narrow, pectinated with long and fine spines. 



Maxillae, rather broad, with two long upper spines ; 

 beneath which there is a very small prominence bearing a 

 minute tuft of fine bristles ; beneath this, there are eleven 

 pairs of rather long and strong spines ; and the inferior 

 angle is formed by a rather broad, upraised, and obliquely 

 rounded prominence, bearing a broad tuft of fine spines. 



Outer Maxillce, with the inner surface continuously 

 clothed with short spines ; exteriorly there is a slight 

 prominence with long hirsute spines. 



Olfactory Orifices barely prominent. 



Cirri. — First pair placed near the second; the seg- 

 ments of the three posterior pairs are slightly protuberant, 

 and bear three or four pairs of finely serrated spines; 

 intermediate tufts long, the middle spines being the 

 longest ; spines on the upper lateral edges long and strong; 

 dorsal tufts rather short. First cirrus, long, multiarticu- 

 late, having fourteen or fifteen segments, whilst the sixth 

 cirrus had nineteen segments; rami unequal in length by
