The m a n cU b 1 e s (fig. 9 ) have no teeth but a smooth and rounded edge, along which 

 are numerous very delicate hairs in several rows. Its inferior angle is acuminated and ends in 

 a slightly stronger bristle, which however can hardly be called a spine. 



The maxillae (fig. 10) have the edge also rounded, without steps separate from one 

 another by notches and without stronger spines at the upper corner. Along the rounded edge 

 numerous delicate hairs are inserted in several rows; the lowest corner has two slightly stronger 

 bristles and another is seen at a little distance from it. A rather stout and not very long 

 apodeme is attached to the ma.xilla. Both ma.xilla and mandible are thin and delicate, their 

 extremities reaching beyond the tip of the mouth on the whole. 



Outer maxillae (fig. 11) represented by ver\- small rounded structures with delicate 

 hairs along their inner surface and at the tip. A group of apparently stronger hairs on a little 

 rounded e.xcrescence near the summit — these hairs, however, were all broken off. 



First pair of cirri (hg. 12) quite rudimentary, represented by a one-jointed conical limb 

 with a few short hairs at the tip. 



Second-sixth cirrus (fig. 13 — 15) of about the same structure: each consisting of a 

 two-jointed pedicel and two rami, each of which is represented by a single segment only, 

 the one however about twice as long and more than twice as broad as the other. The cirrus 

 of the second pair has the lower segment of the pedicel shorter and the upper longer, the 

 third cirrus has about the same structure; in the 4''' — 6^^ cirrus, however, the two segments 

 of the pedicel are of about the same length. In all the cirri a number (4 — 6) of stronger hairs 

 are planted on the pedicel at the base of the .segment which rejjresents the stronger ramus, 

 and another group of even longer and stouter hairs at the base of the more rudimentary ramus. 

 Both rami bear at their rather broad, truncated extremity a dense tuft of ver\- thin and delicate 

 hairs which are irregularly curled, of very unequal length but altogether rather long. As a rule 

 a separate group of hairs is inserted at or near the extremity of the stronger ramus, near its 

 extremity. Such a separate tuft of slender hairs is also observed on the inner side near the 

 extremity of the .segment representing the smaller ramus. 



The cellular (plasmatic) contents with muscles and nerves have shrunk from the chitinous 

 surface of the legs of the animal, due jn'obably to the alcohol in which it was kept. The hairs 

 are seen through the chitinous covering standing with their plasmatic contents in communication 

 with the contents of the leg itself. The contents are distinctly denser and darker coloured near 

 the extremity where the hairs seem to take their origin. 



Caudal appendages not observed, most probably wanting. 



Penis (fig. 15) rather broad, short, not extending beyond the extremity of the cirri ot 

 the 6''^ pair, truncated at the extremity where it bears a tuft of short hairs. Numerous very 

 .short hairs scattered over its surface. 



The little animal was sexually well-developed and provided with ovigerous lamellae, 

 which, however, had not the shape of leaves but rather of clusters of irregular shape in 

 which the eggs formed several layers. As I described above, one of these clusters had been 

 forced out of the sack of the animal, the other being still seen in the cavity. The eggs 

 are numerous and small. They have an elongated form, at least in the highly developed
