EEVISED REPORT ON L.M.B.C. COPEPODA. 91 



Family III. — Misophriid^. 

 Misophria pallida, Boeck. (PL XXI, fig. 1.) 

 Length 0.75 mm. An exceedingly rare species, one 

 specimen only having been recorded in the district, dredged 

 in 10 fathoms off Puffin Island in July, 1891. Curiously 

 enough, Boeck and Brady each also found only one 

 specimen. The inner branch of posterior antenna {h) 

 in my specimen is itself two branched, the smaller one 

 being one jointed with terminal setae. 



Cervinia hradiji, Norman. (PI. XXVII, fig. 7.) 

 Length 1.30 mm. The beautiful stags horn character 

 of the posterior antennae clearly distinguishes this striking 

 Copepod from any other known species. 



The anterior antennae {h) of all of my specimens have 

 a remarkable two jointed branch springing from the base 

 of the third joint, the basal joint being about equal to the 

 third joint of main the branch, and the terminal being very 

 small, both terminated with long plumose setae. Norman 

 did not observe any fifth feet. They are certainly very 

 small but distinctly present and consist {a) of a short basal 

 joint and a longer second joint having one lateral seta and 

 terminated by one long and one short seta. All the 

 specimens taken were (like Norman's) of one sex and were 

 dredged on only one occasion in mud at 39 fathoms about 

 12 miles out from Port Erin. 



He ROMANIA, n. gen. 



First pair of antennae, (PI. XXVIII, fig. 11) nine-jointed; 

 second pair (fig. 4) two branched, the primary branch 

 composed of two long joints, the secondary branch of one 

 long joint and three small terminal joints. Mandibles 

 (fig. 5) small, armed with short sharp teeth and palp 

 composed of two one jointed branches.
