coxal region; broader distally, where it is produced dorsally into a blunt 
angle armed with 1 to 2 or 3 short spines rather stouter than the others. 
Tibial joints both stout and about equal to f in length; dorsally each 
has 3 swellings, one at either end and one in the middle, and the short 
spines are grouped in small clumps of 3 or 4 on these swellings. First 
tarsal joint very short and broad, armed ventrally with 1 stout spine 
and 2 or 3 smaller ones; ¢s.2 nearly as long as 7.2, stout, broader 
proximally than distally, and moderately arched; armed dorsally with an 
irregular series of short bristles; the heel bears 3 stout spines, the sole a 
series of small ones. Claw fully half as long as ¢s.2, strong, evenly 
tapering, and curved; aux. cl. well developed, about half as long as ¢/., 
rather straight. Besides the armature mentioned, there are short stiff 
spines scattered sparsely over all the joints of the leg. 
The following measurements are approximate: length (in this case 
from tip of proboscis to distal border of fourth lateral processes) 1.3 mm. ; 
extent 7 mm.; length of palp 0.45 mm.; length of oviger 1.5 mm.

Remarks.—This species was, unfortunately, represented by only a 
single specimen, which, however, is distinct from C. conirostris Dohrn, as 
may be seen by the blunt, cylindrical proboscis, the shorter, more 
rounded caudal segment, the processes on the anterior sides of the first 
coxal joints, and other details. 
Each of the ovigera carried a small irregular rounded egg-mass con- 
taining probably 50 to 60 eggs. The ovigera were thrust through the 
masses eccentrically, so that the bulk of the mass lay to one side. 
Family PHOXICH/ILIDIIDA. 
Chelifori present, chelate; palpi absent; ovigera present in the male 
only, 5- or 6-jointed. 
Genus Phoxichilidium Milne Edwards (’40, p. 535). 
Orithyia JOHNSTON (’37, p. 368). 
Trunk slender, cylindrical; lateral processes well separated. Neck 
short, i.e., first trunk segment projects but little if at all beyond base of 
proboscis; emarginate between bases of chelifori. Proboscis compara- 
tively short, cylindrical. Eye tubercle small, subconical. Caudal seg-
