by the IJev. .Stfbl)ing- from the Cliallenger Expeditiun as T. Boecli does not 

 seem to clittei- in any essential manner from male specimens of tlie present 

 species. 



()<i/trni/n . — 1 liave found tliis interesting form in three different 

 localities on the west coast of Norway, viz., at Folgero and Sunde in 

 Sondhordhind, and in the F(d(lenfjord at Apelvfer. In all 3 places it was 

 procured by the di'edge from comparatively great depths, 80 — 200 fms. Boeck 

 cdllected liis specimens likewise at a considerable depth in tlie outer part of 

 the Hardangerfjord, at Lyngholmen.

Fam. 3. Scinidae. 



Cephalou small, not tumeticated. Eyes very minute. Superior antenuii:^ 

 rather large, straight, styliform, divergent, similar in the two sexes; inferior 

 antennae in female iiuite rudimentary, in male very slender and angularly 

 bent. Mandibles without jjaljjs. Maxilhe well developed. Maxillijieds witli 

 lanceolate terminal lobes, (xnathopoda simple, not subchelate. Pereio|)oda 

 very slender, the o posterior pairs ratiier irneipial, with narrow basal joints, 

 last pair the smallest. Metasome in female not very powerful, e]nmeral 

 plates snmll. Urosome depressed. Uropinhi imperfectly devel(i]ied, more or 

 less sword-shaped. Telson very uunutc. 



Iicnnniis. — This is a very anomalous group of Hvperids, diifering 

 from the typical forms in many respects, among others by tlie very small 

 eyes and tlie less powerful development of the metasome. The structure oi 

 the oral ])arts and of tlie urosome is, liowever, evidently Hyperidean in 

 character. The family comprises as yet lint a single genus.
