SH1Z0P0D.E. 59 



Eyes extremely large, placed at the end of long spreading 

 footstalks. 



Antenna;, two pair ; inner pair, linear, longer than the 

 eyes, each composed of a long basil joint and three shorter 

 joints, surmounted by a few short hairs ; outer pair (probably 

 broken in the specimen) composed if two long and one 

 short intermediate joint, rather longer than the inner 

 antennje. Scales narrow, taper, and ciliate, as long as 

 the first joint of the outer antennae. 



Thoracic members five or six ? pair, long, setaceous and 

 hairy ; the anterior pair, short and bent downwards, were 

 continually in motion, and may probably prove to be its 

 Palpi, as the mouth appears to be situated between them. 



Sub-abdominal fins, of which there is a pair to each of 

 the five anterior segments of the abdomen, are composed of 

 a basil joint, supporting two taper ciliated fins, with the 

 exception of the first, which as in Cynthia, supports but a 

 single fin. 



Genus 4. 



Podopsls, Hammer-headed Shrimp. 



This Genus remarkable for the great length of the Foot- 

 stalks on which its large and spreading Eyes are placed, 

 like the former, was discovered in that region of the Atlantic 

 frequented by the Nocticula, being captured in N. Lat, 29° 

 30', W. Long. 32° bh\ on the 25th September, where it 

 contributes its share to the luminosity of the sea. Like the 

 former Genera also it is perfectly diaphanous and colourless, 

 and although its members were not particularly scrutinized, 

 is undoubtedly a natatory Shizopoda. 



Description of Podopsis. 



Body in general configuration similar to that of the 

 Shrimp, but of a more slender and taper form, with the 

 Eyes spread out horizontally.
