The South African form is the same as that described by Dana as 
Cratophium validum, having the basal tooth on 6th joint of the 
2nd gnathopod of ¢ distally emarginate on outside and apically acute 
(see Stebbing, Challeng. Rep. vol. 29, pl. 138). In the ? the projec- 
tion just distal to the basal tooth, which bears 3 spines, of 6th joint 
of 2nd gnathopod is angular as in Sars’ figure of pusilla, not rounded 
as in his figure of falcata. 
Side-plate 2 longer than deep, anterior margin scarcely more than 
half the posterior margin of side-plate 1, posterior margin not as deep 
as anterior margin of side-plate 3, inferior margin in ¢ very slightly 
concave, in 2 straight or very slightly convex. 
There appears to be only one form present in South Africa corre- 
sponding to Sexton’s “Form 2.” ‘“ Form 1” with swollen antennae 
and broad hand and thumb has not yet been discovered. 
Length ; 4-6 mm.
