CONILERA. 303 



six-jointed, flat, with the three terminal joints very broad, 

 and gradually decreasing in size. The first pair of 

 maxillae are terminated by two somewhat triangular 

 ciliated lobes ; the second pair of maxillae 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.
