The eyes are very large, being of a long oval form, 

 and reaching nearly to the posterior margin of the head, 

 of which they occupy nearly a third. The superior 

 antennae have the peduncle scarcely longer than the 

 head, the third joint being infero-distally produced. 

 The flagellum is short, and every articulus is infero- 

 distally enlarged. The inferior antennee are much more 

 slender than the superior. The hands of the fii-st two 

 pairs of legs are alike, being of an oval form ; the palms 

 are oblique and not defined. The walking legs are 

 rather slender, and nearly of one length. The posterior 

 pair of caudal appendages are tolerably free from hairs, 

 and the central caudal plate terminates in an obtuse 

 point. 



This species was received by us from the Rev. Geo. 

 Gordon, who obtained it from the Moray Frith. 



Another large-eyed specimen, differing in some slight 

 respects from the present species, was taken by Mr. 

 Edward at Banff".
