Occurrence. A solitary female specimen of this form was found in a 

 sample taken at Bukken, south west coast of Norway from a depth of about 60 

 fathoms. Another specimen was taken, many years ago, off the Lofoten islands, 

 from a dept of 100 fathoms, muddy bottom.

 Add the following species: 



Dactylopodella clypeata, G.^0. Sars, n. sp. 



(Suppl. PI. 13, fig. 1). 



Specific Characters. Female Body very short and compact, clypeiform, 

 with the dorsal face strongly vaulted. Cephalic segment exceedingly large, oc- 

 cupying almost half the length of the body, rostral prominence short and deflexed. 

 Epimeral plates of the 3 succeeding segments laterally expanded, subimbricate, 

 hind corner acutely produced, 4th segment deeply emarginated, encompassing 

 laterally the small last segment. Urosome very short, not even attaining 1 /z of 

 the length of the anterior division. Caudal rami small, apical seta3, however, 

 rather slender and elongated. Antennae and oral parts of a structure nearly 

 agreeing with that in the type species. 1st pair of legs likewise rather similar, 

 though having the outer ramus comparatively shorter and the apical claws of the 

 inner less slender. 2nd pair of legs, as in the type species, with the outer 2 

 joints of the inner ramus confluent. Last pair of legs with the distal joint 

 comparatively larger than in that species, inner expansion of proximal joint broader 

 and less produced. 



Colour brownish yellow. 



Length of adult female 0.41 mm. 



Remarks. This form may at once be distinguished from D. flava (Glaus) 

 by its very short and compact, clypeiform body. In the structural details, 

 however, it very closely agrees with that species. 



Occurrence. Several specimens of this form were found at Farsund and 

 Korshavn. south coast of Norway, in depths ranging from 20 to 50 fathoms, 

 sandy bottom.
