bunches of hairs feebly developed, especially on the 4th, 5th and 
6th cirri. First cirrus long, slender, tapering, with the two rami 
nearly equal; both margins densely fringed. Anal appendages 
barely reaching the junction of the rami of the 6th cirrus, with 
one joint, compressed, bluntly pointed at the tip, which bears an 
irregular tuft of long slender hairs ; the whole surface minutely 
pilose. Penis long, slender, contorted. A pair of delicate oviger- 
ous lamelle depending from the dorsal surface of the abdomen. 
MourtH PARTS. Labrum produced and pointed. Mandible 
with 5 teeth; the Ist longer but no broader than the 2nd, the 
outer margin of which is somewhat irregular at the base; the 4th 
and 5th close together, forming the inner angle ; the 5th notched at 
the base both externally and internally; the whole structure 
covered with minute hairs. Mavxilla with a very broad but 
shallow excavation, which occupies the greater part of its free 
margin; none of the bristles very stout or long ; the exact outline 
variable. —

Length of peduncle .. a: 26—A44 ,, 
MALE with the peduncle very short and stout, distinctly 
separated from the capitulum, which bears six calcified valves. 
The capitulum pointed above, broad in comparison with its 
length, minutely hairy. Jergum broadly triangular, with the 
base of the triangle rounded and the apex pointing directly down- 
wards. Scutwm much larger than the tergum and more narrowly 
triangular ; the apex pointing upwards; the outlines somewhat 
sinuous. Carina triangular, with rounded base, not quite so 
broad (viewed from behind) as the tergum and only a little longer, 
not reaching upwards as high as the upper margin of this plate ; 
the base slightly lower than that of the scutum and above the 
apex of the rostrum. Rostrum of about the same length as the 
tergum, rather broader than the carina and with the base pro- 
duced toa point. Cirvvi and penis well developed ; anal append- 
ages present ; mouth parts resembling those of the hermaphrodite 
in miniature except that the labrum is not produced and the inner 
teeth of the mandibles are not so distinctly separated. 
SYSTEMATIC REMARKS. ‘This species is remarkable on account 
of the possession by the hermaphrodite of ovigerous appendages, 
which depend from the dorsal surface of the abdomen in the form 
of a pair of delicate filaments placed one behind the other (I/lustr. 
Zool. “ Investigator,’ Crust: (Entom:), pl. ii, fig. 4). “lhe male 
belongs to the type most commonly found in the subgenus. 
DISTRIBUTION, etc. S. squamuliferum has been taken by the 
‘“Investigator’’ at many stations in the Andaman Sea and off 
the south of India, while the British Museum possesses a speci- 
men from Singapore. Gruvel’s statement that the species occurs 
in Japan is apparently due to a miscalculation of latitude and 
longitude (Mon. Cirrh., p. 56).
