are distinctly jointed in the middle; outside the latter a slender curved seta is 

 attached. Maxillae with the masticatory lappet fusiform in shape and exserted 

 to a very long and narrow setiform lash, inner edge armed with about 8 strong 

 curved denticles, outer edge ciliated; palp of the usual appearance. Anterior 

 maxillipeds with the distal joint gradually tapered and provided inside with a 

 stout spine, terminal proces only slightly curved and armed outside with 4 5 

 unusually slender spinules. Posterior maxillipeds exhibiting the structure usual 

 for male specimens. The 3 anterior pairs of natatory legs on the whole of 

 normal appearance, with the rami comparatively broad and subequal in size; 

 4th pair however distinguished by the want of the outer-edge spines on the 

 outer ramus, inner ramus scarcely narrower than the outer and having 2 setae 

 inside the midle joint, terminal joint with 3 unusually slender spines at the 

 end and with the inner edge smooth. Last pair of legs with the free joint 

 narrow linear in form and carrying at the tip a slender spine and a some- 

 what shorter seta, inner distal corner produced to a well-marked dentiform 

 projection. 



Colour of the living animal not yet ascertained. 



Length of the specimen examined 0.70 mm. 



Remarks. The above-described form cannot be referred to any of the 

 hitherto known species, differing, as it does, conspicuously by the comparatively 

 short 6-articulate anterior antennae, as also by the structure of the posterior 

 antennae and that of the 4th pair of legs. In the broadly expanded anterior 

 division of the body it somewhat resembles H. valida G. O. Sars, but is 

 otherwise very different from that species 



Occurrence. The solitary male specimen obtained was found in a 

 sample taken by Mr. Kjaer at Dr0bak from a depth of about 50 fathoms.

Remarks. This dwarfed form has been described and figured in Vol. VI 

 from a solitary specimen taken at Skutesnaes, S. W. coast of Norway. On the 

 accompanying plate I give new habitus-figures with some details of another 

 specimen obtained on the south coast, at Lillesand. As seen from the figure, 

 the lateral view of the body is rather characteristic by the unusually deep
