The legs are robust, and four times as long as the body. The 
second joint is more than twice as long as the third, the sixth 
joint is the longest. The joints are almost entirely smooth, minute 
hairs are observed only at the extremity of the joints. Of the two 
tarsal joints the second is a little shorter than the first. The claw 
is more than half as long as the second tarsal joint, the auxiliary 
claws are small but distinct. 
Distinet genital pores oceur at the end of the second joint (ven- 
tral side) of the third and fourth leg. 
The specimen was dredged at: 
Station N®. 9 (first eruise: 1878). Lat. 75° 16' N.; long. 45° 1’ E.; 
July 80, 1878. Depth of the sea 160 fathoms. 
Observations. Prof. @. O. Sars collected this speeies at Station 315 
(Lat. 74° 53’ N.; long. 15° 55’ E.; depth of the sea 180 fathoms; tem- 
perature of the bottom 2.5 C.) and at Station 337 (Lat. 76° 22'N; 
long. 17°13' E.; depth of the sea 146 fathoms; temperature of 
the bottom — 1.1.) At Station 315 two, and at Station 837 only 
one specimen was trawled. The species seems to live — to judge 
from these dates — rather solitary.
