Second percEopods : first joint narrow-oblon;^, subcqual to 

 the tliird and fonrth united. Dactylus almost straight and 

 not flexed, as long as the third joint. 



Third and fourth perceopods pubcqual ; first joints oblong, 

 twice as long as wide. Uactyli longer than the fifth joint^ 

 especially in young s])ecimens, tapering gradually, not flexed. 



Fifth perceopods shorter than the third and fourth^ the first 

 joint much wider, with, the convex, obscurely serrate hind 

 margin produced nearly to the middle of the third joint. 

 Dactylus as long as the fourth joint, which is shorter than 

 the fifth. 



Third uropods : rami subequal, nearly twice as long as the 

 peduncle, with fine spines on both margins. 



Telso?t reaching to about one fourth the length of the rami 

 of the third uropods, deeply notched at the end, with a minute 

 notch on the tip of each division.

 taken from the large specimen (25 mm.) not dissected, the 

 rest from one of 6 ram. 



lY .—Rhynchotal Notes.— XXXN III. By W. L. Distant. 



The following descriptions and notes are preparatory to 

 a synonymical catalogue of the family Fulgoridte which 

 I have now in preparation. I reserve synopses of the 

 genera to the catalogue itself, as there are genera whicii 

 I have not seen and others which have still to be described, 

 which render the formation of such keys impossible for 

 the present.
