In the form of the uropoda, Burmoniscus somewhat approaches 

 that present in Brackenridgia cavernarum, Ulrich', from Ezell's 

 Cave and Beaver Cave, near San Marcos, Texas. 



[This species, which is the one referred to in the recent paper 

 on the cave-fauna * of Burma and Malaya by Dr. Annandale and 

 myself, was found among wood that appeared to have been washed 

 by a flood into one of the deepest recesses of the large Farm Cave.

Cubaris caeruleus, n, sp. 

 (PI. xxxii, figs, i-io.) 



Body (fig. i) oblong oval, dorsal face convex, slightly rugose, 

 first segment almost twice the length of any other. Cephalon 

 small (figs. 2 and 3), lateral lobes not well-developed, median lobe 

 fainty indicated, epistoma with triangular-shaped depression im- 

 mediately below median lobe. Eyes prominent. Antennulae 

 longer than usual and 3-jointed. Antennae (fig. 4) slender, with 

 the last peduncular segment long, 2-jointed flagellum, the distal 

 joint being the longer. Mandibles (fig. 5) small, variable in three 

 examples examined, ist maxillae (fig. 6) : the outer lobe termin- 

 ates in four stout, curved spines and six more slender and almost 

 straight ones, with numerous setae distally on the outer side, 

 inner lobe terminally rounded, thin and with two setose spines. 

 2nd maxillae (fig. 7) terminating in an outer, blade-like lobe and 

 an inner one with a dense mass of fine setae. The segments of 

 the mesosome are fairly convex and well separated from one 

 another laterally, with the posterior angles of the lateral plates 

 somewhat pointed. Maxillipedes (fig. 8) well-developed, the outer 

 lobe terminates in a large curved spine with a series of minute 

 spinous processes, there are two small spines at the base of this 

 on the inner side and a large one more internally, the inner lobe 

 has a slightly flattened surface with three small marginal spines. 

 Thoracic appendages (fig. 9) comparatively short, setaceous and 

 fringed on the inner side with numerous strong spines, the distal 

 extremity terminating in a prominent incurved claw. Uropoda 

 (fig. 10) : basal plate stout and not extending beyond telson ; 

 exopodite articulating in a groove on the dorsal side, endopodite 

 large and triangular in section, fringed with numerous setae and 

 terminating distally as three hair-like setae. It articulates on 

 the inner side of the extreme inner dorsal border. Telson (fig, i) 

 compressed laterally, strongly convex, posterior margin rounded. 

 Length 12-2 mm. Colour (in alcohol) deep blue with irregular 

 whitish patches,
