developed, extending beyond the middle, and reappearing for a short distance in 
the hindmost part; pseudorostral projection not much produced, almost horizontal, 
and obtuse at the tip, terminal edges cut off into 5 denticles; antero-lateral 
corners somewhat produced. Carapace of male quite smooth, with only a single 
small denticle at the end of the frontal lobe; pseudorostral projection obtusely 
rounded at the tip, with the terminal edges smooth; antero-lateral corners!blunted. 
1st pair of legs rather feeble, with several plumose setse outside the terminal 
part, penultimate joint nearly as long as the antepenultimate; 2nd pair with the 
last joint about the length of the 2 preceding joints combined, and linear in 
form, with about 8 unequal spines. 3rd pair in male with 2 comparatively short, 
falciformly curved appendages of the ischial joint. Uropoda rather slender, with 
the rami much narrower than in the 2 preceding species, the inner one 
with the distal joint scarcely shorter than the proximal one, and armed with 
5 or 6 spines, the outermost very much elongated; outer ramus witli scattered setse. 
Colour bright fulvous, somewhat lighter in male. Length of adult female scarcely 
5 mm., of male 5 V 2 mm. 
Remarks . — This form, in the fresh state, is at once recognized by its 
beautiful bright orange or fulvous colour, a character which has indeed given 
rise to the specific name. The species is also otherwise easily distinguishable 
from the 2 preceding ones, both as regards the general form and the structure 
of some of its appendages, especially that of the uropoda. 
Occurrence .— I found this form many years ago rather plentifully at the 
Lofoten Islands, in a depth of from 6 to 12 fathoms sandy bottom covered with 
a thin layer of mud, and have subsequently also met with it in several places of 
the Finmark coast, as far east as Vardo; but south of the Lofoten Islands, I have 
never come across it, and we must conclude from this, that it is a true Arctic form. 
Distribution. — Iceland, at Rejkjavik. Spitsbergen (Norw. North Atlantic 
Expedition).

Specific Characters .—Body slender and highly compressed, with the tail about 
the length of the anterior division. Carapace in female somewhat exceeding the 
length of the exposed part of the trunk, dorsal crest very fully developed, extending 
to the hind edge; pseudorostral projection considerably produced, horizontal, at-
