serrated with moro minute tectli. Socoiul pair of jjorciopoda 

 haviiifr tlie carptis triangular; iul'i'iior outer angle cousidcrubly 

 produced, liaviug the anti-rior and inteiior margins serrated; pro- 

 podos serrated on the inferior margin, ^-hich impinges against the 

 outer margin of the carpus; dactylos stjliform. Third pair of 

 pereio2)oda having the basos pentagon-shaped ; carpus triangular, 

 distal margin armed Anth five or six blunt teeth and a sharp one 

 at the inferior angle ; pro]iodos not longer than the distal margin 

 of the carpus ; dactylos short, sharp. Fourth pair of pereiopoda 

 having the basos with the antei'ior margin eonsiderablj' excavate, 

 ai'ticulating postero-subapically with the ischium ; carpus broad- 

 ovate, inferior margin serrated with a few coarse teeth and some 

 fine intermediate denticles ; propodos narrow ; dactylos stylifmin. 

 Fifth pair of pereiopoda consisting of the basos only, which is 

 longer than broad. 

 Length -^ths of an inch. 



Hah. Near the antipodes, in lat. 58° S,, long. 172° W. {Mr. Rayner, 

 Surgeon II. M.S. Herald). 



Male. — Animal rather slender. Cephalon scarcely deeper than the 

 pereion. First segment of the pereion absent ; fifth as broad as 

 the two preceding. Antenna) subequal, longer than the pereion, 

 slender, filiform. Gnathopoda having the propoda pear-shaped, 

 tapering anteriorly ; dactyla short. All the other poda* resemble 

 those of the female, except that the serrature upon the margin, 

 when present, is uniformly regular. 



Length -^ths of an inch. 



The specimens that are here considered male and female were 

 taken in the same locality, and ])reserved in the same collection by 

 Mr. llaynei', so that we may assume that they were found associated.

Anchylomera Blossovilhii, Edwards, Hist, des Cru^t. iii. p. 87, 



Male. — Antenna) nearly as long as the pereion : superior pair formed 

 of a two -jointed peduncle and a flagellum consisting of forty articuli : 

 inferior pair bent ; peduncle consisting of three joints, flagellum 

 of fifty articuli. First pair of gnathopoda shorti-r than the second. 

 Tliird ])air of pereiopoda triangular ; the untero-inlVrior margin 



* Tlic third pair of pereiopoda is broken in the only male specimen in tho 

 collection. It is therefore an assumption that the third jiair bears tho same 

 relation as the others to their representative in the female.
