on the branchial region and a few granules occur just below the posterior portion of the 

 lateral crest. 



The abdomen seems not to differ from that of Glyph, /lastacauda, the small crests and 

 tubercles on the somites are a little more distinct and prominent. Telson a little 

 longer than the uropods, the extreme tip slightly upturned; edges salient, smooth. 



Eyes of a pale chestnut colour, their greater diameter measures one-ninth the length of 

 the carapace, rostrum included; on the peduncle is a small tubercle, anteriorly, near the cornea. 



The antennular peduncle reaches by half the terminal joint beyond the tip of the antennal 

 scale and resembles, like also the flagella, that of the female of Glyph, hastacaiida. The antennal 

 scale (Fig. 56^) is comparatively a little less broad than in this species, its outer margin unarmed. 



The legs also do not seem to differ. 



Length 82 mm. (rostrum 17 mm., carapace 19 mm., abdomen 46 mm.), all measured in 

 the middle line. 



Glyph, acuminata Bate from the Fiji Islands is a related form. According to the diagnosis, 

 preceding the measurements (Report Challenger Macrura, p. 522), the carapace should be smooth, 

 excepting the dorsal carinae that are slightly tuberculated, in the additional remarks, however, 

 we read: ''the carapace is smooth, excepting the dorsal carinae, which are slightly tuberculated, 

 as well as the outer or second carina"! In Fig. 39 the second carina, however, is 

 hardly indicated and does not seem to be tuberculated. In both figures 2 cf and 3 9 the posterior 

 moieties of the 3'^'^ and 4"' carinae run not parallel with the upper border of the carapace, 

 different from Glyph, piignax^ the abdominal terga, finally, are apparently smooth and the 

 median carina less prominent. 



Glyph, nobilis A. M.-Edw. from St. Domingo, finally, is no doubt also different, the 

 orbital spines being distinctly turned outward, the tubercles of the dorsal and subdorsal carinae 

 are spiniform, with acute tips directed upward, the telson, finally, is much longer than the 

 uropods, all characters taken from the figures 2 and 2 a of Plate 39 of the "Recueil de Figures 

 de Crustaces nouveaux ou peu connus", published by A. Milne-Edwards in April 1883.

Stat. 316. Febr. 19, 1900. 7° I9'.4 S., ii6°49'.5E. Bali Sea. 538 m. Bottom fine, dark brown 

 sandy mud. 2 males and 3 females, one of which is ova-bearing. 



A new species of small size, the nearest allied forms of which are Glyph, nobilis A. 

 M.-Edw., longirostris (S. I. Smith) and Gilesii W.-Mas. In the larger male the rostrum measures 

 just six-sevenths, in the ova-bearing female, that is of a somewhat larger size, just three-fourths 

 the length of the rest of the carapace, measured in the middle line; in the younger specimens 

 the rostrum is comparatively longer, so e. g. in the largest female but one carapace and rostrum 

 measure respectively 14,2 mm. and 12,5 mm., while in the younger male the numbers are 

 12,5 mm. and 11,5 mm. In the male (Fig. 57//) the rostrum extends with almost half its length
