tultcrculiir process arrhcd towards the extremity of the liiuli. They occur distally on 

 the first coxa, dor&ally on the second, where there arc two rows, and ventrally on the 

 third coxa. Elsewhere there arc five rows in which the ventral tutarclcs arc the 

 smallest Between the two rows on the second coxa distally is a rounded tulrcrcle 

 Iwaring no seta. The distal extremity of the second tibia is literally provided with 

 small stout seta) not connected with tubercles; its distal fringe is inconspicuous. 

 The tarsus is oowed with seta? which increase in length distally, forming a fringe of 

 long and stout seta). The tubercular character of the leg completely disappears on 

 this and the succeeding joint On the propodus there is a scanty supply of minute 

 sctw dnrsally, and ventrally at the proximal end of the joint is a well-developed 

 enlargement (tearing three spines of moderate strength ; the rest of the ventral surface 

 is occupied by a Iwiul of small but fairly prominent spinous setae. 



A tingle specimen of this species was taken off the Barrier, lat. 78 25' 40" S., long. 

 185 39' 6" E in SOOfms. Bottom, mud. 



It is an adult female, with the Genital apertures prominent on the second coxse of 

 all the legs. 



PALLENOPSIS. 



Body Blender or robust, distinctly segmented. 

 Proboscis cylindrical, ventral in origin, flexibly united to the tnink. 

 Abdomen long and slender. 

 Chelifori well developed ; scape long, two-jointed. 

 Palps reduced to a more or less conspicuous knob. 



Ovigers ten-jointed, present in both sexes, without a terminal claw or denticulate spines. 

 Legs with auxiliary claws. A tubular duct occurs in a mid-ventral portion on the femora of the 

 male. 



Ocular tubercle placed anteriorly on the ccphalon, with two unequal pairs of eyes. 



As above stated, the generic definition is much altered from the original of Prof. 

 E B. Wilson (32). Besides the two new species described below, no less than thirteen 

 have from time to time lx;cn recorded, all of them from a strictly limited number of 

 specimens. They arc separated by characters which, when committed to paper, do 

 not appear as definite as one would like. Nothing is known with regard to the 

 variation which may occur within the limits of " a species," and so it must remain open 

 to question whether I have taken the right course with reference to P. hinnalis and 

 P. pitotta, Hoek, or not
