segments are not vcry elongate, the terminal ones being only thrice as long as broad. Near 

 the extremity the inner face of each segment is somewhat swollen ; this swollen part is furnished 

 with a group of longer hairs, representing the 2 to 3 pairs of hairs seen on the inner 

 face of the segments of the other cirri; some of these hairs are rather long, some medium- 

 sized, some short ; each segment, moreover, bears a small group of not very long hairs on 

 the outer face near the extremity. Finally, all the segments of both branches, with the 

 exception of the 7 to 9 last ones, are furnished, on the somewhat swollen part of the inner 

 face near the extremity, with a row of minute tooth-like pointed spines, which point upwards, 

 and which are strono-est on the lower segments of the anterior ramus. The second segment of 

 the pedicel of this cirrus shows a group of 3 to 4 such teeth on the inner face near the 

 extremity. Outer face of lower segments of both branches rough through short spines being dis- 

 posed along the margin. 



The cirri of the fifth and sixth pairs have the rami very elongate and composed 

 of very numerous segments. Each segment bears a group of 3 to 5 delicate hairs on the 

 outer face, near the extremity. The number of pairs of hairs arranged along the inner face 

 of the segments is two in the lower and three in the upper segments. Only here and there, 

 a fourth pair of extremely minute hairs could be seen. The teeth-like spines on the swollen 

 parts of the segments of the 4 th cirrus are represented on the 5* and 6 th cirri by much 

 smaller spines of the same shape. The outer margin of the lower segments of the 5* and 

 6 th cirrus is distinctly rough, being furnished with one or more longitudinal rows of extremely 

 small teethdike spines which point upwards. 



The penis is very long, distinctly ringed, tapering towards the extremity. A group of 

 short hairs is situated at a short distance from the extremity, very few hairs only are scattered 

 over the surface. 



The only specimen of this species collected during the cruise of H. M. S. "Siboga" 

 was taken at Station 301. Numerous and larger specimens of the same species were found 

 by me in a collection of Cirripedia made during the fishing trips of the Inspection-Steamer 

 "Gier" in the Western half of the Malay Archipelago. The accurate positions of these places 

 are as follows.
