were in continual motion. The antennae were four in number, shorter 

 than beak; the superior short and thick, the inferior slender and acute, 

 nearly as long as beak.

Rostrum longissimum, corpore fere longius, fere rectum, setulis supra, 

 spinulis infra ornatum. Carapax pubescens, spind brevi latere et 

 longd dorso armatus. Segmentum caudale profund^ bilobatum, lobis 

 divaricatis lamellatis, subovatis, obtusis, setis postice* dliatis et apicem 

 spind acutd.

South Atlantic, latitude 24 45' south, longitude 44 20' west. Col-. 

 lected, January 10, 1839. 



Length, one-sixth of an inch. Colour, in part reddish. The dorsal 

 spine, probably a large one, was broken off near the body in the speci- 

 men seen. The carapax had a ridge of short hairs along the back, 

 and also along the abdomen. Abdomen seven-jointed, one under the 

 carapax. Abdominal appendages below short, naked, one of the 

 lamellae minute. Last abdominal segment triangular, with a deep 

 triangular excavation separating the two lobes. Outer margin serru- 

 late, a rather stout spine at apex, and slender setae within. Caudal 

 appendages nearly as long as segment ; consist of a short basal joint 

 and an oblong oval plate, which is furnished with long cilise. Eyes
