above and one below. The number of gills could not be 

 definitely ascertained^ but there are five -well-developed 

 pleurobranchs and a single series of rudimentary arthro- 

 branchs, as well as a series of epipods ceasing apparently on 

 tbe third last leg. All the thoracic legs bear exopods, and 

 the first two pairs are chelate. 



Spence JBate^s family Carycyphirlse*, being founded 

 entirely on immature forms^ cannot be sustained. It seems 

 not unlikely that some at least of the species are lai'val 

 Acanthephyridse, and in the present instance the arrange- 

 ment of the gills lends some support to this view. 



Distribution. Various forms referred to the " genus '^ 

 Caricyphus were taken by the ' Challenger ' in the Pacific, 

 and by tbe Plankton Expedition in the Atlantic, in all cases 

 at or near the surface. 



Family Paguridse.

This specimen is a zoea-larva at a stage in whicb none of 

 the abdominal appendages are yet developed, although the 

 telson bears seven pairs of spines instead of six as in the 

 first stage of the Pagurid zoea. It differs from the zoea of 

 Eupagnrus bernhanius as described by Sars f in the shorter 

 rostral spine and in the broader telson, the posterior margin 

 of which is straight, not incised in the middle as in the 

 earlier stages of that species, nor convex as in Anapayurus 

 chiroacantlms.

Although a great deal of care was bestowed upon the 

 collection and preservation of the material presently to be 

 described, it was not easy to refer some of the individual 

 specimens to their proper place in the system. Many of
