outer and inner margins of both rami spinulose, inner margin of inner 
ramus with some plumose setae in addition. 
Side-plates and postero-lateral angles of pleon segments 1-3 as in 
E. chelatus Norman (see Sars, l.c. pl. 40, fig. 1). 
Telson as in Chevreux’s figure but with 2 spinules on each apex. 
Length: 17 mm. 
Colour: In spirit, yellowish white. 
Locality: Cape Point NE. by E. ¢ E., distant 38 miles. 755 fathoms,

Geogr. Distribution: Gulf of Gascony, 1453 metres (Chevreux). 
The main differences between this and the northern form are: the 
larger size, the number of flagellar joints in Ist and 2nd antennae, the 
relative lengths of 4th and 5th joints of peduncle of 2nd antennae, 
the shape of the palp of Ist maxilla and the palm of 2nd gnathopod. 
As regards the last two features, Chevreux’s figures are not as clear as 
could be desired for purposes of an exact comparison. The other 
features cannot be deemed of specific value. 
PARAVALETTIA n. g. 
Body not compressed. Side-plates not large, 4th only shghtly 
emarginate behind. Mandible short and broad, cutting-edge obscurely 
dentate, palp central. Inner plate of maxilliped with 4 apical 
teeth, outer plate with 2 spine-teeth on inner apex, palp 4-jointed. 
First gnathopod fairly stout, strongly chelate. Second gnathopod 
elongate, slender, chelate. Third to fifth peraeopods with 2nd joint 
moderately expanded. Uropod 3 with 2-jointed outer ramus only. 
Telson ovate, entire. 
This genus is near to Valettia Stebbing in having a dentate cutting- 
edge to the mandible, but is distinguished by the chelate Ist and 2nd 
gnathopods, uniramous 5rd uropod and entire telson. These last two 
features it possesses in common with Onesinoides Stebbing, from 
which, however, the chelate Ist gnathopod separates it. 
Valettiopsis Holmes, 1908, appears to differ very little from Valettia. 
PARAVALETTIA CHELATA N. sp. 
(Plate XXVI. Figs. 2-8.) 
Body rounded dorsally. Antero-lateral angles of head obtuse. Eyes 
not discernible. Side-plate 1 oblong, not narrowed below, smaller 
than 2, 2-4 subequal, subquadrate, inferior margin rounded, 5 twice
