I assign this species to S. disuleatus Wood-Mason with some doubt, as the 
description of the latter species is not detailed enough to make its identity 
sure. Wood-Mason’s specimens were taken in the Arabian Sea and the Bay 
of Bengal, 738-840 fathoms. 
There is nothing on the labels to indicate that the specimens from Sta- 
tions 3382 and 3388 did not come up in the trawl, which had been dragged 
over a bottom of 1793 and 1168 fathoms; but it should be observed that at 
Station 3382 a net was towed at a depth of 200 fathoms for fifteen minutes, 
and then brought open to the surface, and that at Station 3388 the Tanner 
net was towed at a depth of 400 fathoms, bringing up specimens in its upper 
part only, which was open all the way from 400 fathoms to the surface. 
Perhaps the specimens of Sergestes bisulcatus from these two stations were in 
reality captured in the tow-nets.

In this species the gastro-hepatic groove is well-nigh obliterated on the 
dorsal part of the carapace, and the dorsal portion of the cervical furrow, 
which in some species of Sergestes forms the front boundary of the cardiac 
area, is obsolete. There is a sharp spine near the antero-lateral margin of 
the carapace, behind the base of the eye-stalk, and another on the hepatic 
area. A longitudinal ridge runs from the base of the antenna backward, 
dividing at the hepatic spine into a superior and an inferior branch. The 
former forms the upper boundary of the branchial area, the latter courses 
as a carina along the middle of the branchial region, and fades out before 
reaching the posterior border of the carapace. The rostrum is cristiform,
