fourteen to eighteen short cleaning bristles, situated more or less irregularly, all finely pectinated 

 distally. On the posterior side of this joint, distaUy of the middle, there are two rather short, 

 smooth bristles of about the same length as each other, one situated somewhat distally of the 

 other, and near the posterior distal limit of the joint two other bristles of the same type as the 

 former, situated close to each other, are to be found; of these the medial one is somewhat, though 

 only rather slightly, more powerful than the lateral one. Of the seven bristles of the small 

 end joint (fig. 12) the two middle claw-like ones are only about a quarter of the length of the 

 second endopodite joint. Of the two anterior ones, both of which are somewhat shorter than 

 the two former ones, the medial one, which is the longer one, is somewhat claw-like, the lateral 

 one is rather weak. Of the three posterior bristles the one situated most posteriorly is very 

 short and weak, the two others are subequal, somewhat longer than the two anterior ones and 

 about as strong as the weaker of these. The two main claws have a few weak secondary teeth 

 posteriorly, proximally of the middle, the other bristles of the end joint are smooth. Pilosity: 

 There are short, stiff hairs dorso-distally on the first endopodite joint and transverse groups 

 of short hairs posteriorly on the second endopodite joint. 



Maxilla: — Protopodite (fig. 17, c? = ?): The first endite has ten or eleven 

 (usually eleven) powerful, subequal, moderately long bristles, furnished with an abundance 

 of long, stiff secondary bristles placed close together: there are somewhat fewer of these secondary 

 bristles on the outer bristles than on the inner ones. On the three inner ones the secondary 

 bristles continue as far as the points of the bristles, on the others they stop a short distance 

 from the points. Three of the latter bristles are trifurcated distally; four or five have a single 

 powerful point, the latter being generally without distal secondary teeth. The second endite 

 has five bristles (only on one specimen were there found six bristles on the maxilla of one side). 

 They are all rather strong, of moderate lengths, subequal, the inner one being, however, a little 

 shorter than the others, and all of about the same type, with a moderate number of long, stiff 

 secondary bristles at the middle and rather thinly pectinated distally; there is often, however, 

 no pectination on the inner bristle. The third endite has also five distal bristles, rather powerful 

 and of moderate lengths, the outer one being slightly longer than the inner ones. The four outer 

 ones are furnished at the middle with a moderate number of long, stiff bristles and are finely 

 pectinated distally; the inner one has short, fine hairs or isvalmost naked. The bristle situated 

 proximaU)'^ on the outside of the last-mentioned process has short and exceedingly fine hairs 

 or is bare and is not quite as long as the outside of this process. The dorso-distal bristle on the 

 coxale is about as long as the outer of the distal bristles on the third endite. On the boundary 

 between the basale and the first endopodite joint there are only two bristles, the bristle that is 

 found in most of the other species of this sub-family on the anterior side of the palp is quite 

 absent in this form. Of these two the one that is fixed close to the exopodite is somewhat 

 longer than the bristles of the exopodite and has sparse long secondary bristles at the middle, 

 distaUy it is ahuost bare. The one that is fixed on the inside of the palp is almost bare and 

 quite short, only about a third of the length of the former (tlie last-mentioned bristle seems 

 sometimes to be absent). Kxopodite: Its three bristles are subequal, somewhat longer 

 than this branch. The distal one of them has short hairs, the two others are plumous.
