width, unci the three following are about four times as long as the median width; the 



Lenta succeeding dowlj decrease in length so that the antepenultimate is about 

 i k ice as long as bioad and the penultimate is about as long as broad or slightly longer 

 than broad. The third segment is rather strongly constricted centrally. The next 

 few segments are moderately constricted centrally, and those succeeding have a 

 slightly concave ventral profile, but soon a less strongly concave dorsal profile. The 

 antepenultimate segment is practically oblong in lateral view. The opposing spine 

 is prominent and sharp, terminally situated, and is equal in height to about half the 

 distal width oi the penultimate segment. The terminal claw is about as long as the 

 penultim.it segment or slightly longer, and is slonder and moderately and eveidy 

 curved. 



The gently concave distal edge of the radials oxtends slightly beyond the rim of 

 the centrodorsal. The syzygial pair formed by the two elements of the IBr series is 

 oblong and half again as broad as long. The IBr, has a low and broadly rounded 

 elevation occupying the median line. The IBr 2 has a corresponding but somewhat 

 less strongly marked midradial elevation, and the distal edge is slightly everted. 



The five arms are about 40 mm. long. The first brachial is short, oblong, about 

 four times as broad as long, of about the same size as the IBri and with a similar 

 midradial elevation. The distal border is slightly everted. The second brachial is 

 slightly larger than tho first, and is trapezoidal in shape; it bears a slight median 

 elevation in the proximal half or two-thirds, and the distal edge is slightly everted. 

 The syzygial pair formed by brachials 3+4 is slightly longer on the side bearing tho 

 pinnule than on the opposite side, and is not quite twice as broad as long. Tho hypo- 

 zygal is oblong, nearly four times as broad as long, and the epizygal is longer on the 

 side toward the pinnule base than on the opposite side, in the midradial line being of 

 tho same length as the hypozygal. The next two brachials are very bluntly wedge- 

 shaped, about two and one-half tunes as broad as the midradial longth. After the 

 second syzygy tho brachials become triangular, as long as or somowhat longer than 

 broad, but soon wedge-shaped again with less oblique ends, later becoming longer 

 with slightly concave sides. The brachials as far as the second syzygy have a low r 

 and broadly rounded tubercle in the proximal portion. The succeeding brachials 

 have the middle of the dorsal line almost imperceptibly elevated. 



Syzygios occur between the elements of the IBr series, between brachials 3+4, 

 8+9, and 13 + 14, and distally at intervals of 3 muscular articulations. 



P c is 4 nun. long, with 11 sogments, of which the first is short and trapezoidal, 

 half again as broad as the greater (inner) length, the second is almost oblong, twice 

 as broad as the median longth, tho third is about as long as broad, the fourth is half 

 again as long as tho median longth, and those following slowly increase in length, 

 becoming nearly three times as long as broad terminally. The third and following 

 segments have tho distal edge very slightly everted. Tho pinnule is moderately 

 stout at the base and tapers evenly to the tip. The middorsal line is very obscurely 

 and roundedly elevated, scarcely suggesting the carination found hi related species. 

 P, is 4 mm. long, with 12 segments, and resomblos P c . P„ is 8 nun. long, with 15 seg- 

 ments, roughly half again as broad at the base as P c , moderately slender and tapering 

 evenly to a fine tip. It is somewhat flattened latorally and is broadly rounded dor- 

 sally, not being prismatic. The first segment is from half again to twice as broad as
