Indian Det'/'-sett Diedjing. 357 



A very fine ovigeroiis female, with one young f( male, was 

 taken at Station llo, 188 to 22(J fatlionis. 



Colour in lite in both pink; the eggs of the female pea- 

 green. Colour of eyes in spirit dark purple. 



26. Glyphocrangon Smithiij sp. n. 



A^ery closely allied to G.aculeatn, A. M.-Edw., from which 

 it is distinguishable at a glance by the much less developed 

 lateral spines of the carapace, the anterior of these being less 

 expanded laterally and the posterior reduced to a minute 

 though excessively acute point. 



A comparison of our specimens with Milne-Edwards's type 

 would probably reveal further differences. 



Total length from tip of rostrum to tip of telson 77 millim., 

 length of caraj>ace from tip of rostrum to middle of posterior 

 margin 35"5 millim,, length of carapace from the front of 

 one of the posterior rostral spines to hinder margin 205 

 millim., breadth between tips of lateral spines of carapace 

 18"2 millim., length of rostrum from the front of one of its 

 posterior spines 16 millim., length of abdomen 41 millim. 



Colour in life bright crimson. Eyes in spirit dark ))urple. 



'I'wo males from Station 112, 5(U fathoms. 



1 have much pleasure in naming this species after Lieut. 

 C. V. Smith, R.N., of the Survey.

27. G^uphocrangon caccscens^ sp. n. 



Closely allied to G. sculpta, S. I. Suiith, difl^erlng therefrom 

 in the degeneration of its organs of vision, which, though 

 perhaps not much if at all reduced in size, yet have their corneaj 

 opaque yellow in every part except near the antero-lateral 

 margins, where a faint touch of the original purple colour may 

 still be traced ; in having three pairs of rostral spines ; in 

 the rostrum being lanceolate Avhen viewed from above (thus 

 resembling that of G. hngirostrisy 'i juv., S. 1. Smith, Rcj). 

 U. S. Fish. Conim. 1886, ])1. ix. fig. 5), and reaching nearly 

 to the end of the olfactory flagellum of the antennules ; in the 

 dactylopodite of the legs of the last two pairs being minutely 

 mucronate at the outer apex ; in the posterior moiety ot the 

 subdorsal carapacial crest not being spinosej in the subdorsal 

 ridges of the telson being minutely and acutely jagged. 



'iotal length from tip of rostrum to tip of telson 65'5 

 millim., length of carapace from tip of rostrum to middle of
