De til de falske Fadder hos Hannen festede Æg er 

 forholdsvis betydelig mindre ogtalrigere end hos foregaaende 

 Slægt og danner 2 afrundede Masser, liver omgiven af en 

 felles Membran. 



Dvrets Farve er i levende Tilstand gulagtig, hos ældre 

 Individer uæsten gulbrun. Men ofte er Legemet saa tæt 

 besat med fremmede, til de talrige piglormige Fortsatser 

 heftende Dele, at baade Legemets Form og Farve er van- 

 skelig at observere. 



Forekomst. Jeg har tåget denne Art paa flere Ste- 

 der af vor Vestkyst og nordlig lige til Vadsø. Den synes 

 alene at forekomme paa forholdsvis grundt Vand, fra 6 — 20 

 Favne, mclkm Alger og Hydroider. 



Udbredning. Arten synes idethele at maatte betragtes 

 som en udpræget nordlig Form. Foruden ved Norge er den 

 nemlig af Krøyer noteret fra Grønland, af Wilson fra Nord- 

 amerikas Østkyst, af Jarzynsky fra den murnianske Kyst 

 og af Dr. Hansen fra Novaja Zemljas Sydvestkyst. Good- 

 sirs Fxemplarer var fra Kysten af Skotland.

Artscharacter. Legemet forholdsvis mindre under- 

 sætsigt end hos P. circularis, med Sidefortsatserne videre 

 skilte og piggede i Enden. Rygsiden af Kroppen glat, uden 

 pigformige Fortsatser. Hovedsegmentet noget hengere end 

 de 3 følgende tilsammen. med tydelig, skjøndt kort Hals, 

 Pandedelen stærkt fortykket og oventil ved Enden bevæbnet 

 meil korte Torner. Halesegmentet noget opadrettet, koi'tere 

 end hos P. circularis. Øiekuuden særdeles lav, tilrundet. 

 Snabelen stærkt nedadrettet, af samme Beskaffenhed som 

 hos foregaaende Art. Saxlemmerne hos fuldvoxne Individer 

 meget store, Skaftet cylindriskt med flere tornformige Fort- 

 satser oventil, Haanden længere end Skaftet, nedadrettet, 

 sueeessivt udvidet mod Enden, Fingrene meget korte, stærkt 

 indadrettede, begge med et knudeformigt Fremspring i In- 

 derkanten og stumpt afrundet Spids. De falske Fadder hos 

 Hannen længere end Legemet, de 4 ydre Led forsynede 

 med en regelmæssig Rad af saugtakkede Torner. Gangfød- 

 derne stærkt forlængede, næsten 4 Gange længere end Le- 

 gemet og bevæbnede med talrige, forholdsvis smaa, glatte 

 pigformige Fortsatser, hver med en Børste i Spidsen; Fod- 



The »va attached to the false legs in the male are, rela- 

 tively, a good deal smaller aud more numerous than in the 

 preceding genus, and form 2 rounded masses, each enveloped 

 in a eommou membrane. 



Colour of the animal in the living state yellowish, in 

 aged speeimens well-nigh yellowish-brown. Otten, however, 

 the body is so densely beset with extraneous substances 

 adhering to the numerous spiniform projections, that both 

 the form and colour of the body are difficult to recognise. 



Oeeurence. 1 have tåken this speeies in several lo- 

 ealities on the West Coast of this country and as far north 

 as Vadsø. It would seem to occur only in comparatively 

 shallow water — irom G to 20 fathoms — among Algæ and 

 Hydroidæ. 



Distribution. The speeies should, it would appear, 

 on the whole, be regarded as a well-marked Northern tonn. 

 Besides from Norway, it is mentioned by Krøyer from Green- 

 land, by Wilson from the east coast of North America, by 

 Jarzynsky from the Murman Coast, and by Dr. Hansen from 

 the south-west coast of Novaja Zemlja. Goodsir's speeimens 

 were from the coast of Scotland.

Speciflc Character. Body relatively less thickset 

 than in P. circularis. with the lateral processes farther apart, 

 and spinous at the extremity. Dorsal surface of truiik smooth, 

 without spiniform projections. Cephalic segment somewhat 

 longer than the 3 succeeding ones tåken together, with 

 distinct, although short neide, frontal part much tumificated and 

 armed above, at the end, with short spines. Caudal seg- 

 ment directed a little upwards, shorter than in P. circu- 

 laris. Oculiferous tubercle exceedingly low, rounded. Pro- 

 boscis pointing strongly downwards, similar in character 

 to that of preceding speeies. Chelifori in full-grown speei- 

 mens very large, scape cylindrical with several spiniform 

 projections above, hand longer than scape. directed down- 

 wards, expanding gradually towards the extremity; fingers 

 verv short, directed greatly inwards, both with a nodular 

 projection on the inner edge and an obtusely rounded 

 point. False legs in male longer than the body, the 

 4 outer joints furnished with a regular series of serrate 

 spines. Ambulatory legs much elongated, almost 4 times as 

 long as body, and armed with numerous, comparatively small 

 and smooth spiniform projections, each bearing a bristle at 

 the point; propodal joint relatively slenderer than in P. circu-
