Specimens identical with the above species were found in the washings from dredged 

 invertebrata collected at the following two stations. 



Stat. 164, 2 specimens. — Stat. 226, midway between the Lucipara and Schildpad Islands, 

 nineteen specimens. 



Lichomolgus buddhensis can readily be recognised by the very short abdomen and 

 furcal joints, and by the comparatively large fifth pair of feet. 



This species has hitherto only been known from the pearl banks around Ceylon. 



2. Lichomolgus elegans Thompson & Scott. 



Lichomolgus elegans Thompson & Scott, 1903, p. 280, pi. XVI, figs. 8 — 13. 



One specimen belonging to this species was found in the washings from dredged in- 

 vertebrata collected at Station 226, midway between Lucipara and Schildpad Islands, from a 

 depth of 1595 metres. 



Lichomolgus elegans is easily identified by its rather narrow and elongate form, by the 

 comparatively long cylindrical genital segment, and by the shape of the fifth pair of feet. 



This species has hitherto only been known from Ceylon. 



3. Lichomolgus gigas Thompson & Scott. 



Lichomolgus gigas Thompson & Scott, 1903, p. 280, pi. XVI, figs. 21 — 26. 



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

 invertebrata collected at Station 226, midway between the Lucipara and Schildpad Islands. 



This is a large species. It can readily be separated from the other members of the 

 genus by the large size of the animal, by the proportional length of the joints of the anten- 

 nules, by the moderately long cylindrical furcal joints, and by the rather large fifth pair of feet. 



Lichomolgus gigas has hitherto only been known from Ceylon. 



4. Lichomolgus anomalus nov. sp. Plate LXVII, figs. 6 — 17. 



Female — length .67 mm. 



Seen from above, the body appears short and very broadly oval. The fourth segment 

 is short and the distal ends are evenly rounded. The fifth thoracic segment is rather short 

 and is somewhat funnel-shaped. The distal end is considerably expanded. 



The abdomen is short and is composed of four segments. The combined length of the 

 abdomen and furcal joints is contained fully three times in the total length of the ccphalothorax, 

 from the frontal margin to the distal end of the fifth thoracic segment. The genital segment 

 is comparatively large and is slightly inflated. It is traversed by an incomplete suture near 

 the posterior end of the dorsal surface. The segment is slightly longer than the combined 

 length of the next three abdominal segments and furcal joints. The second, third and fourth 

 segments are short and sub-equal in length. The furcal joints are very short. The joints are
