 In this species the head is broadly rounded in front, and behind 

 fitted into the trilobate front margin of the first perseon segment. 

 The angles of the sixih and seventh perseon seg- 

 ments are produced, acute, reaching beyond the 

 still more acute apices of their side plates. The 

 lateral angles of the first and second pleon segments 

 much overlap those of the third and fourth segments- and in all 

 four to a lateral view they have a somewhat hook-like shape. 

 Our specimen is a female, with distended marsupial plates- 

 Locality: — Cape St. Blaize N. 4] miles- Depth, 35 fathoms- 

 Bottom, mud. Found on Synaptura pectoralis. Schiodte and 

 I^.Ieinert examined a specimen from Cape Agulhas and anoither 

 from the Cape of Good Hope, besides others.

 the last work, published by Fortin, Masson et Cie, 

 it should be remarked that the plates ought not to 

 be neglected by the carcinologist- although the accompanying 

 volume of text is of a very mean order- Here also it may be wdl 

 to call attention to the circumstance that Guerin-Meneville, in 

 his Iconographie du Regne Animal de G Cuvier, 

 a work vaguely dated 1820- 1843, thinks the explana-
