Antennfe stout, outer rami slender, of moderate length, and 

 apparently only two-jointt'd. 



The tirst j)air of swimming-feet short and robust ; ou^er 

 branches considerably shorter than tlie inner and furnished 

 \\ ith long, spinitorm, coarsely plumose setffi on tiie outer 

 margin ; inner branches ap])arently only two-jointed, the 

 fiist joint longer than the entire outer branches and strongly 

 dilated interiorly, as in the male of D. flava, second and 

 third joints coalescent and bearing a short stout terminal 

 claw and a moderately long s))iniform seta. The next three 

 ])airs are somewhat similar to those of D. tishoides. 



'J'he filth feet are moderately large; primary joint a 

 broadly quadrangular lamelliform plate bearing five strong, 

 plumose, spiniform seta3 on the distal margin, which is 

 broadly truncate ; a comparatively wide space separates the 

 outermost seta from the one next to it. Secondary joint 

 subcylindrical, but becoming narrower from about the middle 

 of the joint to the end ; inner margin nearly straight, with a 

 short seta on the lower half; two stout spine-like sette spring 

 from the lower half of the outer margin and two from the 

 apex. 



Furcal joints very short. 



Male unknown. 



Hah. Dredged at Saleombe, June 30th, 1875. 



This form closely resembles I), laticaiidata and D. cBmda, 

 described by I. C. Thompson and A. Scott in their Report 

 on the Copepoda collected by Professor Herdman at Ceylon 

 in lt)02. The two species, with that just described, differ in 

 some respects from the typical Daclijlopusia.^ and, as suggested 

 by the authors referred to, " may some time require a separate 

 genus.^' The coloured band in this species appeared to be 

 quite unaffected by the long immersion in methylated spirit, 

 forming a marked contrast to the evanescent colour of 

 ]). ornata. 



Genus Peltidium, Philippi, 1839. 

 Peltidium conspicuum, sp. n. 



A single specimen of an apparently undescribed Peltidiam 

 was obtained in New Grimsby llarbour, Scilly Islands, 

 May 23rd, 1903. It was of a uniform dark purple or ruby 

 colour, and therefore conspicuous in the sample in which it 

 occuired. 



P. conspictium lias a general resemblance to P. purpureum, 

 Piiilippi, but is lather larger, and the carapace wants the 

 pellucid areas so characteristic of that species, being, on the
