48 Bulletin Vanderhilt Marine Museum, Vol. V 



differs in contour from that of the preceding legs, having the outer 

 anterior lateral margin sinuate and concave and the opposite margin 

 widely rounded with an acuminate tip. The merus has a double 

 fringe of setae on the upper and under outer lateral margins and also 

 on the hinder and distal propodal margins. 



The fourth pair of legs differ from the others, having the three 

 proximal articles modified to adapt to their subdorsal position; lami- 

 nate, the carpus produced to an acute point anteriorly ; the propodus 

 narrowed, suboval, with rounded, beaded margins; the dactyl un- 

 equally lanceolate, laminate, as in the third pair of legs. The lateral 

 margins of all the articles except the dactyl are heavily fringed, with 

 long, close-set setae.
