joints combined. Last pair of legs resembling somewhat in shape those in 

 the preceding species, but with the proximal joint comparatively less broad 

 and the apical spines more unequal in length. Ovisacs very small and closely 

 appressed to the sides of the tail. 



Colour, as stated in a specimen recently taken at Sandefjord, pale 

 yellowish grey with slight darker yellow shadows; anterior antennae partly tinged 

 with orange. 



Length of adult female scarcely exceeding 0.56 mm. 



Remarks. By the very short caudal rami this form has a certain 

 resemblance to C. Schneideri Scott (= C. brevifurca G. O. Sars), and may 

 indeed on this account easely be confounded with that species. It is however 

 much inferior in size, and moreover well distinguished by the structure of the 

 anterior antenna?, which are comparatively shorter and, as in the preceding 

 species, only composed of 10 joints, whereas these antennae in C. Schneideri 

 are distinctly 12-articulate. The general form of the body also is somewhat 

 different in the two species. 



Occurrence. \ have met with this form in several places, both on the 

 southern and western coast of our country, and northwards at least to the 

 Trondhjem Fjord (Bejan). It is found in moderate depths, from 10 to 50 

 fathoms, but never in the littoral zone.

Specific Characters. Female. Body comparatively slender, resembling 

 in shape that of C. longicornis, but rather inferior in size. Tail, including the 

 caudal rami, about the length of the cephalic segment and sligthly attenuated 

 behind. Caudal rami much shorter than in C, longicornis, not nearly attaining 

 the length of the 2 preceding segments combined, and scarcely more than 4 

 times as long as they are broad; seta of outer edge attached about in the 

 middle; innermost apical seta more than twice as long as the outermost. 

 Antennae, oral parts, and natatory legs of a structure very similar to that in 

 C. longicornis. Last pair of legs, as in that species, composed of 3 well 

 defined joints, the middle one rather large, with the outer corner conically 

 produced and tipped with a long seta; terminal joint comparatively small and
