were found in the washings from dredged invertebrata collected at the following two stations. 

 Stat. 226, 1595 metres, 4 females and 1 male. — Stat. 273, 13 metres, 5 females and 1 male. 



Laophonte cornuta can readily be recognised by the large size of the animal, by the 

 very strong tooth-like projection on the second joint of the antennules, and by the shape and 

 armature of the fifth pair of feet. 



This species appears to be widely distributed along the coast of Western Europe. The 

 form recorded from Ceylon by I. C. Thompson and A. Scott as Laophonte serrata Claus, 

 has proved on re-examination to be identical with Sars' illustrations of the above species. 



2. Laophonte hirsuta Thompson and Scott. 



Laophonte hirsuta Thompson & Scott, 1903, p. 266, pi. VIII, figs. 1 — 8. 



Specimens belonging to this species were found in the washings from dredged inverte- 

 brata collected at the following two stations. 



Station 226, 1595 metres, 8 female. — Stat. 273, 13 metres, 5 females. 



This species is easily recognised by its short, depressed, and very hirsute body, by the 

 very robust endopodite of the first pair of feet with its very short, stout and curved apical 

 claw, and by the slender distal joint of the fifth pair of feet. 



Laophonte hirsuta has hitherto only been known from Ceylon. 



33. Family Cletodidae. 

 Genus Cletodes Brady, 1872. 



The members of this genus are easily recognised by the rather slender body, by the 

 short stout antennules, by the non-prehensile character of the first pair of feet and by the 

 absence of a terminal claw on the apex of the endopodite. 



Two species belonging to this genus were represented in the material collected by the 

 'Siboga" in the Malay Archipelago. 



1. Cletodes linearis (Claus). 



Liljeborgia linearis Claus, 1866, p. 22, pi. II, figs. 1 — 8. 



Orthopsyllus linearis Brady & Robertson, 1873, p. 138. 



Cletodes linearis Brady, 1S80, vol. II, p. 95, pi. LXXX, figs. 1 — 14. 



Cletodes linearis T. Scott, 1893, p. 98, pi. XII, figs. 29 — 32. 



Cletodes linearis I. C. Thompson, 1896, p. 25. 



Cletodes linearis T. Scott, 1901 (a), p. 354. 



Cletodes linearis Thompson & Scott, 1903, p. 267. 



Cletodes linearis Fearson, 1905, p. 11. 



Cletodes linearis Xorman & T. Scott, 1906, p. 162. 



One female identical with the above species was found in the washings from dredged 

 invertebrata collected at Station 273, at a depth of 13 metres. 



Cletodes linearis can readily be identified by the strong teeth that fringe the distal ends
