  (8563). 
  

  

  Three 
  additional 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  were 
  taken 
  in 
  1885, 
  a 
  male 
  

   and 
  a 
  female 
  (10802), 
  at 
  station 
  2566, 
  August 
  29,

  lat. 
  37°

  2,620 
  fathoms, 
  gray 
  ooze, 
  temperature

  ; 
  and 
  a 
  single 
  

   female 
  (10803) 
  at 
  station

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  M. 
  Bairdii 
  in 
  having 
  spine-tipped 
  eye-stalks 
  

   and 
  the 
  dorsum 
  of 
  the 
  pleon 
  without 
  median 
  teeth 
  or 
  spines, 
  but 
  is 
  at 
  

   once 
  distinguished 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  the 
  broad 
  and 
  stout 
  non-spined 
  rostrum, 
  

   the 
  spiny 
  propodi 
  of 
  the 
  ambulatory 
  perseopods, 
  and 
  the 
  very 
  different 
  

   armament 
  of 
  the 
  carapax.
