peduncle shorter than the 2nd. 1st pair of* legs less robust, with the penultimate 
joint fully as long as the 2 preceding joints combined; 2nd pair with the termi¬ 
nal joint narrower, and carrying a smaller number of spines. Uropoda with the 
rami less unequal, the inner one with only a limited number of spinules, the 
outer one but scantily setiferous. Colour whitish. Length of adult female scarcely 
exceeding 5 mm., that of male about the same. 
Remarks. —This species, first described by Sp. Bate, is very closely allied 
to the preceding one, though on a closer examination, it is easily distinguishable by 
the rather different armature of the anterior edges of the carapace. It is also 
much inferior in size. The Eudorella inermis of Meinert is undoubtedly the adult 
male of this species. 
Occurrence. —Along the south and west coasts of Norway this form is far 
from being rare, occurring not infrequently in moderate depths, from 6 to 30 
fathoms. The most northern locality in which I have observed it, is the Lofoten 
Islands; farther north, off the Finmark coast, I have never met with it, and its 
foreign distribution also shows it to be evidently a more southern form than the 
preceding species. 
Distribution. —British Isles (Sp. Bate), Kattegat (Meinert), Heligoland 
(Ehrenbaum), Mediterranean at Naples and Spezia (the present author).

Specific Characters. —Body extremely slender and elongated, with the in¬ 
teguments rather densely hairy. Carapace with the anterior edges coarsely den¬ 
ticulate throughout their whole length, and in the upper part clothed with nume¬ 
rous stiff, anteriorly curving bristles, exhibiting, moreover, below the middle a 
well-marked, though rather small sinus; antero-lateral corners not produced. 
Carapace of (young) male with the anterior edges unarmed, and without any di¬ 
stinct sinus. Superior antennse about as in E. truncatula. 1st pair of legs com¬ 
paratively more robust, with the penultimate joint scarcely longer than the ante¬ 
penultimate one; 2nd pair with the antepenultimate joint unusually elongated 
and narrowed, last joint comparatively short. Uropoda resembling in structure 
those in E. truncatula, but having the apical spine of the inner ramus well de¬ 
fined at the base. Colour whitish. Length of adult female 5 mm. 
Remarks. —This form is about same size as E. truncatula, and may 
easily be confounded with that species. On a closer examination, however, it is 
found to differ in the still more slender and elongated form of body, and
