44 STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA. 
below from the proximal half down between the eye-stalks; this plate is 
toothed anteriorly but does not reach forward nearly to the tip of the ros- 
trum. The antero-lateral margin of the carapace is five-toothed; the second, 
third, and fourth of these teeth give rise to long thread-like cilia. There is 
another tooth at the angle between the postero-lateral and posterior margins ; 
posterior margin straight. The upper surface of the eye-stalk is covered with 
small tubercles, and a blunt spine projects over the cornea. The movable 
scale of the antenna is spiniform and bears two blunt spinules on the outer 
side and two smaller ones on the inner. The chelipeds are unequal (the 
right being the larger); coxa granulated, setose on the lower inside margin ; 
lower margin of the ischium and merus armed with three or four blunt teeth, 
superior margin of merus toothed, internal distal border setose, external 
distal border forming a bilobed crest; outer face of carpus flat, naked, 
squamous, marvins cristate, the internal crest expanded and cut into setiferous 
lobes ; propodite tuberculated without, smooth within, toothed and setose on 
superior margin ; immobile finger, as well as the dactylus, excavated within, 
setose ; the larger claw has blunt teeth on the fingers, while the fingers of 
the smaller claw have nearly straight cutting edges. The ambulatory 
appendages have cristiform anterior margins from the merus to the propodite 
inclusive ; the crest of the carpus is entire or slightly crenate, but that of 
the merus is bilobed, of the propodite trilobed; the posterior margins of 
these appendages are dentate and more or less setose ; two setiferous teeth 
near the proximal end of the upper face of the merus of the hind legs; the 
dactyli are provided with curved, acute, black tips, and with pencils of hair 
especially on anterior margins. The abdomen is indurated, with three rows 
of tuberculated plates; toward the posterior end there is a vestige of two 
marginal rows of small, imperfectly calcified plates.

PARALOMIS Wurrt. 
Proc. Zoélog. Soe. London, XXIV. 134, 1856. 
Through the courtesy of Mr. Benedict of the United States National 
Museum, I have had the privilege to examine a specimen of Lithodes granu- 
losus Hombr. et Jacq. (U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 12583, Straits of Magellan), the 
type of the genus Paralomis White. According to Mr. Benedict (im Uiz.), this
