liand produced into a tootli confronting the finger, though 

 Stebbing supposes that this was due to a misapprehension*. 



A iurther approacli to Urothoe is perhaps to be seen in the 

 long feathered setffi found in the present species on the 

 antennae, the first and second pera^opods, and the third uropods, 

 though they do not seem to occm* on the third and fourth 

 perajopods, where they are most abundant in Urothoe. The 

 terminal uropods and the telson sliow a fairly close connexion 

 with Phoxocephalus as well as with Urothoe and Urothoides, 

 and the general shape of the head has somewhat the cha- 

 racters of Phoxocephalus, though in a much exaggerated 

 degree. 



In the telson this species evidently differs very considerably 

 from the ' Challenger ' species (where the telson is undivided 

 and emarginate), and presents a fair general resemblance to 

 Urothoe and allied genera.
