proximal joint linear in form and quite unarmed, distal joint small carrying on 

 the tip a claw-like spine and a somewhat longer seta. The 3 succeeding pairs 

 of legs with the outer ramus distinctly 3-articulate and without any setae inside, 

 its terminal joint armed in the 2 anterior pairs with 3 spines and a sub-apical 

 seta, in 4th pair with only 2 spines; inner ramus considerably shorter than the 

 outer, with the distal joint oval in form and about the length of the proximal 

 one, being only provided with a single imperfectly developed seta at the tip. Last 

 pair of legs with the median plate divided at the end by a small incision into 

 2 short lobes, each carrying 2 unequal setse; distal joints very small, cordate in 

 form, each with 3 short setse, inner edge finely ciliated. 



Colour not yet ascertained. 



Length of adult female 0.58 mm. 



Remarks. The above-described form agrees on the whole so closely with 

 that recorded by Th. Scott, that I cannot but believe it to belong to the same 

 species, though it is of somewhat smaller size and more slender form of body 

 than indicated in the figures given by Th. Scott. I have also failed to detect in 

 any of my specimens even the slightest trace of the peculiar prominences ("lenses") 

 mentioned by T. Scott as occurring on each side of the cephalic segment behind, 

 and seen both in his figure of the female and that of the male. 



Occurrence. Some few specimens of this peculiar form, all of the female 

 sex, were picked up from samples taken last summer at Korshavn from a depth 

 of about 20 fathoms, sandy bottom. 



Distribution. Scottish coast (Scott).

(Suppl. PI. 46). 



Specific Characters. Female. Body moderately slender, resembling some- 

 what in shape that in L. brevirostris, though having the segments more sharply 

 marked off from each other. Cephalic segment very large and tumid, considerably 

 exceeding in length the succeeding 4 segments combined; rostral projection broadly 

 triangular in form and distinctly bilobular at the tip. Urosome with the lateral 

 expansions of the anterior segments rather prominent and minutely spinulose on 

 the edges. Caudal rami scarcely longer than the anal segment and of nearly 

 equal width throughout, lateral edges smooth. Anterior antenna? comparatively 

 short, scearcely attaining half the length of the cephalic segment, and composed
