which are very small ; the appendicular branch (fig. 5) has the second joint 

 furnished with three comparatively short setse, the last joint has no incision; 

 the inner face is waved, so that the diameter is greatest just before the middle, 

 while the extremity is also voider than the part preceding. The nine ungues 

 of the abdominal plates are ciliated, not spined on the edge as in the other 

 sex. 



Philomedes Lilljehorgii occurs not uncommonly in the Fjords of Norway, where 

 it inhabits deeper water than P. brenda. Near Drobak, in the Christiania Fjord, 

 100 fathoms ; Bergen Fjord, south of Bokken, 150—200 fathoms ; in the 

 Hardanger Fjord, off Lervig, 150-180 fathoms and in Stoksund, 126 fathoms; 

 Trondhjeim Fjord, 100—300 fathoms (A. M. N.) Sars's type specimens were 

 from the first of the localities just enumerated, and he has also taken it at the 

 Lofoten Islands. We have also specimens taken, during the second cruise 

 of the "Porcupine," in a depth of 430 fathoms, lat. 48° 50' N., long. 11° 9' W. ; 

 and during the first cruise in lat. 46° 13' N. ; long. 14° 18' W., depth 420 

 fathoms ; for these specimens we have to thank our friend, Mr. E. C. Davison, 

 E.N. (G-.S.B.).

Shell of the male ovate, truncated behind, greatest height central, equal 

 to two-thirds of the length, ventral margin evenly and moderately arched 

 throughout ; dorsal regularly arched through its entire length ; hinder extremity 

 abruptly and scarcely obliquely truncated, infero-posteal corner angled, but not 

 produced ; anterior extremity vaulted ; rostrate process rising obliquely forwards, 

 its extremity blunt, and widely rounded ; antennal sinus facing downwards, not 

 wide, the lower side arcuately joining the ventral margin without any angularity; 

 surface of valves everywhere pitted with conspicuous round foveolse. Viewed 

 from above it is of nearly equal breadth throughout its central portion, the sides 

 being straight and nearly parallel, breadth not quite equal to half the height, 

 anteriorly suddenly narrowed at the region of the rostrate process ; posterior 

 extremity broadly rounded; length, 1-6 mm. ; height, 1 mm. 



The antennules have the first joint naked, second longer than the first, and 

 also longer than the remainder of the limb, with one seta on each margin, and
