CONILERA. 303 
six-jointed, flat, with the three terminal joints very broad, 
and gradually decreasing in size. The first pair of 
maxillz are terminated by two somewhat triangular 
ciliated lobes; the second pair of maxille are trilobed, 
the outer lobe subtriangular and armed with a row of 
strong bristles; the innermost lobe is compound, and 
terminated by three small appendages (fig. f”). The four 
anterior pairs of legs are robust, with the middle joints 
produced above into a strong angle. The three hind 
pairs are much more slender, and terminated by a very 
minute hook. The anterior pair of pleopoda are formed 
of two nearly equal joints, whilst the large lateral appen- 
dages of the last segment of the tail have the outer edges 
of the two divisions strongly notched.
