all. Two of these have been found off the coast of Norway, and will be described 

 below. A 3rd Norwegian species, C. elongata, has been recorded by Boeck; but 

 it is impossible to recognise this form, which in all probability does not belong 

 to the genus Candacia at all, as the lateral parts of the last segment of the 

 metasome are said to be rounded off, a character not found in any of the other 

 known species.

Specific Characters. Female. Body, as compared with that in the other- 

 species, rather slender, with the anterior division, seen dorsally, oblong in form, 

 greatest width but slightly exceeding l / 3 of the length, anterior extremity con- 

 siderably contracted, and transversely truncated at the tip, posterior scarcely at 

 all attenuated, and only very slightly emarginated in the middle. Cephalosome 

 occupying more than half the length of the anterior division, rostral prominence 

 very small, bi-tuberculate. Lateral parts of last segment of metasome terminating 

 in a short somewhat outwards-pointing corner, acute at the tip. Urosome per- 

 fectly symmetrical, and equalling about l / 3 of the length of the anterior division, 

 genital segment slightly tumefied in its anterior part, and armed on each side 

 with a small posteriorly-pointing spine. Caudal rami shorter than the preceding 

 segment, all 5 setse of about same length, the outermost issuing from a separate 

 ledge of the outer edge. Eye wholly absent. Anterior antennae very slender and 

 elongated, reaching, when reflexed, beyond the tip of the caudal rami, and com- 

 posed of 24 articulations. Anterior maxillipeds exceedingly large, with the claw- 

 like spines unusually strong. Apical spine of outer ramus in the 2nd to 4th 

 pairs of legs exceeding half the length of the terminal joint. Last pair of legs 

 very small, terminal joint scarcely longer than the other 2 combined, and pro- 

 jecting at the tip in 2 unequal spines; outer edge armed with 2 or 3 small 

 denticles, inner with 3 short seta?. 



Male still more slender than female, with the right corner of last seg- 

 ment of metasome produced to a highly chitinised, dark-coloured, somewhat 

 incurved projection, left corner about as in the female. Genital segment with 

 the projection on right side rather large and irregularly tubercular at the tip. 

 Right anterior antenna with the middle section only slightly tumefied, and having
