longer, than from the apex of the rostrum to the end of the tail, extending 

 a little beyond the tips of the outer antennae. The following are the measure- 

 ments of an average and apparently adult female : length, from apex of 

 rostrum to tip of tail, 1.38 inch; of carapace, including the rostrum, .69 

 inch; of exterior antennse, .75 inch ; of anterior legs, .94." 



" Inhabits the centre of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River*, between 

 Anticosti and the south shore, in from 180 to 220 fathoms, and probably 

 burrows in the deep sea mud." 



" From Munida it may at once be distinguished by its curved and simple 

 rostrum. In the rudimentary character of its eyes it closely resembles 

 Calocaris, but not in many other respects." 



This description was based upon four adult living females, dredged by 

 the writer in 1873. Specimens of both sexes, which have been identified 

 with this species by Professor S. I. Smith, were subsequently dredged by the 

 SS. Albatross, of the U. S. Fish Commission, in 1883 and 1884, in very deep 

 water (75 to 1290 fathoms) off the north-east coast of the United States. 



According to Professors Smithf, and J. R. Henderson,]; Galacantha, 

 Galathodes and OrojAorhynchus of A. Milne Edwards, are synonyms of 

 JHunidopsis.

Long Island Sound to Halifax, N.S., from low-water mark to a depth of 

 86 fathoms (S. I. Smith). Grand Manan (Stimpson). " In the Bay of 

 Fundy, 1864, 1868, 1870 and 1872, it was occasionally found at low water, 

 and was common at the same depths and on similar bottoms as in Casco Bay ; 

 also dredged off White Head, Grand Manan, in 40 to 50 fathoms, 1872. 

 " In and near Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, 18 to 25 fathoms, sand, gravel 

 stones and sand and red algae, 1877. I have never seen specimens from the 

 Gulf of St. Lawrence nor Labrador, and can find no record of its occurrence 

 on our eastern coast north of Halifax. I have little doubt, however, that it 

 occurs in the southern part of the Gulf of St Lawrence " (S. I. Smith, 1879; 

 op. cit., p. 46 and 47). 



* Or, more correctly, — the deepest parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
