the inferior margin with three faseiciili of rather lonp; simple 

 hairs ; dactvlos nearly as lon<? as the i)roi)od()s, straight. First two 

 I)aiis of pereiopoda having the dactylos veiy long, considerably 

 longer than the propodos, ungiiiciilate : third pair having tho 

 basos dilated posteriorly near the upper extremity, and narro\ving 

 downwards ; dactylos short, not stylifonn, and terminating in two 

 short spines vr uiignicnlie. The remainder of the animal from

3. Protomedeia fimhriata. (Plate XXXI. fig. 1.) B.M. 

 Ganimarus fimbriatus, Stimpson, MS. 



Eyes small, round, black. Superior antennae not half as long as the 

 entire animal. Inferior antenna) ha\-ing the fourth joint of the 

 peduncle reaching beyond the second of the superior. First pair 

 of gnathopoda ha%ing the carpus as long as the pro})odos ; propodos 

 short, being only as long again as broad, inferior margin increasing 

 towards the palm ; palm slight, convex, inferior margin rounded, 

 imperfectly defined by three or four short sjiines : four fasciculi of 

 short hairs fringing the superior margin ; in other respects the 

 whole appendage is clean. Second pair of gnatlioi)oda haWng the 

 carpus but little longer than the propodos, fringed distally upon the 

 superior margin Avith very long hairs, upon the inferior margin with 

 several fasciculi of short hairs ; propodos not so broad as the carpus, 

 gradually tapering to a point, the superior margin fringed with 

 long haii-s, the inferior -with several fascicidi of short hairs ; dac- 

 tylos more than half as long as the propodos. In other respects 

 this animal closely resembles P. innguis. 

 Length T^ths of an inch.

4. Protomedeia Whitei, n. s. (Plate XXXI. fig. 2.) B.M. 



First three segments of the plcon baring the infero-posterior angle 

 produced into a tooth, and the inferior margin fringed with a few 

 solitary cilia; the fourth segment having the posterior dorsal 

 margin produced into a tooth. Eyes roundish. Superior antenna) 

 having the first joint of the peduncle distally enlarged ; second
