ate, dorsoventrally flattened with a rounded laminate process at the 

 inner distal angle; the carpus is small, wider distally, the propodus 

 is broad, thick, suboval, with its inner margin thick-set with bristles ; 

 the dactyl is slender, curved, closing upon the propodiLS, claw-like. 

 The inner lateral margins of the merus and carpus are also fringed 

 with bristles'; there is a dense short brush of bristles on the outer distal 

 margin of the propodus of the second thoracic leg. 



The third, fourth aud fifth thoracic legs are short, seick-like, each 

 with a slender exopodite which is subequal in length to the joint be- 

 side which it lies; the terminal joint is fringed with stiff bristles on 

 its outer and distal margins. 



There are five pairs of abdominal pleopoda, each biramose, very 

 powerfully developed ; a small hook arises from the inner lateral mar- 

 gin of the inner blade, enabling the two blades to fasten as one, thus 

 increasing the power as a swimming organ.
