is jilmost contiuiunis. Tin- tud postoro-distal bristles on this joint, wiiicli arc situated close 

 to each other, arc similar to those of the jirocoding species. I'mxiinally of llicsc there are 

 generally — as in the majority of species belonging to this sub-J'aniiiy that are dealt with in 

 this work — two bristles, generally of equal lengtli and of about the same tyj^c and length as 

 the two former ones, one situated somewhat proxiinally of the other; in a few cases, however, 

 three such bristles were observed, of wliieh the (wo jjroximal ones were situated close to each 

 other, and sometimes only one such bristle was developed. l*>nd joint: Tliis has, in addition 

 to the si.x bristles observed on the preceding species, a very short bristle, situated posteri- 

 orly; (of the same type as, for instance, in C. (Vargula) norvegica; cf. fig. 12 of this species). 

 The six bristles have about the same development as these bristles in the preceding .species, 

 apart from the fact that the two anterior ones and the two posterior ones are relatively somewhat, 

 though rather slightly, longer. The three claws have a few weak posterior secondary teeth proxi- 

 mally of the middle, the longest anterior and posterior bristles have short, weak posterior 

 hairs or are almost bare. The pilosity of this limb is similar to that of the preceding species. 

 Maxilla: — Protopodite: The first endite (fig. 8) has twelve rather powerful 

 subequal, moderately long bristles, furnished with abundant stiff, long secondary bristles placed 

 close together; only the outer bristle has comparatively few of these; on the three inner bristles 

 these secondary bristles continue right to the point of the bristle, on the others they stop a short 

 distance from the point; of the latter bristles four are trifurcated distally, five have a strong, 

 simple point and are with or without powerful distal secondary teeth. The second endite (fig. 9) 

 has seven moderately long bristles, which decrease somewhat in length the farther inward they 

 are placed; they all have at the middle a moderate number of long, stiff secondary bristles, 

 and five of them have, in addition, more or less strong distal secondary teeth. The third endite 

 (fig. 10) is similarly furnished distally with seven bristles of moderate length, the exterior ones 

 somewhat longer than the interior ones; all except the innermost, which has short and exceed- 

 ingly fine hairs, have a moderate number of long, stiff secondary bristles at the middle; the 

 two outer ones are finely pectinated distally, the third outer one is somewhat more strongly 

 pectinated distally, the rest, as far as I could see, smooth distally. The bristle situated proximally 

 on the outside of the third endite has short and fine hairs and is not quite as long as the outside 

 of this process. The dorso-distal bristle on the coxale is about as long as the outer bristle on 

 the third endite. Of the three bristles that are situated on the boundary between the basale 

 and the first endopodite joint the one situated close to the exopodite is about as long as the 

 distal bristles of the exojiodite and is plumose in the middle, the one on the anterior edge of the 

 palp is somewhat shorter than the dorso-distal bristle on the coxale, the one on the inside of 

 the palp is somewhat shorter still; the two last-mentioned bristles have short, fine hairs or are 

 almost naked. Exopodite: Of its three bristles the distal one has short, fine hairs, the 

 two others are densely plumous; one specimen had all three densely plumose. The two distal 

 ones are somewhat longer, the proximal one somewhat shorter, than the exopodite. Endo- 

 podite (fig. 11): First joint: This has two rather long bristles distally on the anterior edge, 

 the anterior one somewhat longer than the posterior one, both with short, fine hairs or almost 

 bare. Distally on the posterior edge there are three bristles, one rather long, the two others
