the antennulae and the form of the uropoda. The tooth on the 
underside of the lateral plate of the first mesosomatic segment is 
fairly long and pointed and overlaps the anterior wall of the some- 
what flattened groove of the second segment. 
Cubaris dilectum, n. sp. 
(Pl. xii, figs. I—9). 
Body oblong oval, convex, finely tuberculate. Cephalon (figs. 
I and 2) small, strongly marginate anteriorly and posteriorly, 
lateral lobes small, median lobes absent ; epistoma almost vertical, 
slightly depressed laterally. Antennae (fig. 3) situated rather low 
on the epistome, sparsely setaceous, somewhat attenuate; flagel- 
lum 2-jointed, the distal joint being the longer. First maxillae 
(fig. 4), outer lobe terminating in four stout incurved spines and 
six smaller inner ones. Segments of the mesosome convex, lateral 
plates of 2nd to 5th segments slightly excavate, remainder trun- 
cate, posterior angles only slightly produced backwards. Segments 
r and 2 with notch and groove on their inner margins for reception 
of succeeding segments (fig. 5). Maxillipedes (fig. 6), outer palp 
terminates in a broad multispinous process on the outer side and a 
single large pointed one below it, from the base of the outer palp 
are two large spines, the inner palp is broad and has three pointed 
marginal spines and one short, blunt, tooth-like spine on the inner- 
most border. Uropoda (figs. 7 and 8) extend very slightly beyond 
the telson, basal plate narrow posteriorly, thickened and strongly 
raised, convex dorso-laterally, antero-dorsal surface expanded, 
strongly marginate; exopodite large and extends slightly beyond 
the basal plate, endopodite setaceous, broad and slightly flattened, 
with three long whip-like setae terminally. Telson (fig 9) longer 
than the breadth at the posterior margin which is slightly curved, 
sides only very slightly incurved, expanded anteriorly. Length 8 
mm. Colour (in alcohol) fawn with irregular light and dark brown 
mottling. | 
Habitat.—Kalimpong, Darjiling District, E. Himalayas, 600— 
4500 ft. No. *is* (F. H. Gravely). 
Type.—In the collection of the Indian Museum. 
This beautifully marked species differs from any other des- 
cribed form in a number of important characters. The tooth on 
the underside of the lateral plate of the first mesosomatic segment 
is large and truncate, and works in a slight groove in the anterior 
wall of the groove of the second segment. The exopodites of the 
uropoda extend beyond the telson and the antero-dorsal surface is 
unusually deep. 
Cubaris pusillus, n. sp. 
(Pl. xiii, figs. I—I0). 
Body oblong oval, strongly convex, smooth. Cephalon (figs. 1 
and 2) small, but rather long, strongly marginate, lateral lobes
