Hahttal. A solitary specimen was taken by the dredge in Paterson Inlet, Stewart 

 Island, in 10 fathoms. 



Distrihuiioii. Confined to New Zealand. 



This species is so near N. mariouis, Bate, that I retain it with some hesitation. It 

 differs markedly iu the dentition of the rostrum ; and although this is a very conspicuous 

 cliaracter, yet I am inclined to think that it is a variable feature, and consequently of 

 little value as a specific distinction. Bate describes the telson as hearing three pairs 

 of spinules, rather an unusual feature in the family. My specimen has only the 

 usual two. 



The ' Challenger ' specimens of 1^. marionis w"ere taken off Marion Island in G9 fathoms, 

 and Prince Edward Island in liO fathoms, both localities nearly due south of Africa, and 

 off the Falkland Islands in South America iu 12 fathoms.
