appears to represent on the Pacific side of America. When compared with 
the type specimens of J. stimpson the differences are very evident, though 
somewhat difficult to describe. The carapace of JZ. gracilipes is much flatter, 
smoother, and more shining than in JZ stimpsoni; the transverse ridges are 
more prominent, fewer in number, and do not show that tendency to break 
up into imbricated, granulated scales which is so characteristic of JZ. stimpsone. 
The supraocular spines are shorter, closer to the median rostral spine, and 
fused more completely with the latter at the base. The eye is larger, the 
transverse ridges on the abdominal somites fewer in number. ‘The lateral 
spines of the carapace and the abdominal spines are more fully developed. 
The cardiac area is narrower and bounded by more distinct furrows.

Compared with the type specimens of JZ. microphthalma, the “ Albatross” 
specimen has the rostrum shorter and less strongly upturned; the supra- 
ocular spines, too, are shorter (shorter than the eyes). There is no row of 
spines, but merely a ridge, along the superior or external face of the hand. 
The second abdominal somite bears only two spines instead of eight, as in 
the type; but this is of no great importance, since the spines of that segment 
are altogether absent in one of the “ Blake” specimens (Station No. 2), and 
in one noticed by Henderson in the “ Challenger” collections. 
M. microphthalma was taken by the “ Blake” among the West Indies in 
573-1030 fathoms, and by the “Challenger” in the same region in 390 
fathoms, north of Kermadeec Islands in 600 fathoms, and near Ascension 
Island in 425 fathoms.
