slightly unequal in length; appendicular bristle issuing from the base of the 

 distal joint. 



Colour not yet ascertained. 



Length of adult female 0.79. 



Remarks. This form, which, according to the structure of the antennae 

 and oral parts, is evidently referable to the genus Pseudobradya, as defined by 

 the present author, may be easily distinguished from the other species by its 

 comparatively robust body and the short and stout caudal rami, as also by the 

 structure of some of the appendages, especially that of the last pair of legs. 



Occurrence. Only a single female specimen of this form has hitherto 

 come under my notice. It was found in a sample taken last summer at Farsund 

 from a moderate depth.

Specific Characters. Female. Body narrow fusiform in shape, with the 

 2 chief divisions of nearly equal size. Cephalic segment conically tapered in 

 front, rostral projection rather prominent and obtusely pointed at the tip. Epi- 

 meral plates of the 3 succeeding segments rather broad, sub-imbricate, those of 

 4th segment densely spinulose behind. Last pedigerous segment scarcely smaller 

 than the preceding one, and likewise fringed behind with slender spinules. TJro- 

 some (including the caudal rami) scarcely shorter than the anterior division, 

 genital segment rather large and, like the succeeding segment, fringed behind 

 with unusually long and delicate spinules; last segment very short. Caudal rami 

 of unusually large size, and somewhat resembling in shape those in P. hirsuta, 

 each ramus being produced at the end to an acute lanceolate lappet; apical setae 

 comparatively short. Anterior antennae small, 5-articulate. Posterior antennae 

 rather stout, with the spines of the terminal joint strong and clothed with un- 

 usually long lateral spikes, outer ramus biarticulate and of a somewhat unusual 

 appearance, the distal joint being conspicuously dilated, with the apical setae 

 strong and densely plumose. Oral parts extremely small and difficult to examine, 

 though on the whole, it would seem, built upon the type characteristic of the 

 present genus. Natatory legs of normal structure. Last pair of legs, however, 

 rather unlike those in the other species, distal joint very broad, spatulate in 

 shape and irregularly indented along the terminal edge, the 3 marginal setae com- 

 paratively short and spiniform, proximal joint with the digitiform process at the
