The second joint is also very long, though shorter than the first, it 

 is ovoid and swollen ; the finger into which it is prolonged is about 

 half the length of the rest of the joint, is provided with a series of 

 denticles and ends in an extremely fine, curved point; the movable 

 linger resembles the immobile one. The second pair of appendages 

 are of the same length -as the first, but very slender ; the first joint 

 is very short, the second is eight times as long, the third is a little 

 shorter than the second ; the fourth is a little more than a third of 

 the length of the third ; the fifth is considerably longer than the 

 fourth, but shorter than the third. The third pair of appendages 

 are long and slender ; the first joint is short, the second longer, the 

 third twice as long as the second, and rather dilated distally, the 

 fourth longer and more slender than the third, gently curved ; the 

 fifth short, the sixth longer than the fifth, about a third of the 

 length of the fourth, the seventh and eighth, ninth and tenth, nearly 

 ecpial in length ; the number of spines on the tenth joint is over 

 fourteen, but the appendage is damaged on both sides and some of 

 the spines have been broken off ; the terminal claw is nearly as 

 long as the tenth joint. The following four pairs of appendages 

 are distinguished by their great length, being four times as long as 

 the whole body inclusive of the proboscis ; the first joint is short 

 and rather thick ; the second is more than three times the length 

 of the second, narrower proximally than distally ; the third is 

 slightly larger than the second ; the fourth is twice as long as the 

 second, slightly swollen distally ; the fifth is a little longer than the 

 fourth, and much more slender ; the sixth is the longest and 

 slenderest of all, nearly as long as the fourth and fifth together ; the 

 seventh and eighth are likewise very slender, the former the 

 shorter of the two, a little longer than the first ; the eighth is not 

 at all thicker than the seventh ; it has three terminal claws which 

 are of nearly equal size, scarcely a fourth of the length of the joint. 



The length, inclusive of the proboscis is fgths of an inch ; of each 

 leg |ths of an inch. 



Dredged at Port Jackson, New South Wales. 



A second specimen from the same locality has the proboscis rather 

 larger, and the second joint of the first pair of appendages longer
