segment has a deep median sulcus. The abdominal sulci are filled with 

 a thin short pubescence easily rubbed off. The sixth segment is about 

 one and a third times as long as the fifth. 



Dimensions. — Female (station 3441), length from tip of rostrum to 

 tip of telson 64 mm., length of carapace 16 mm., length of antennal 

 scale 10.5 mm. 



Harriman Expedition. — Juneau, 20 fathoms. 



jDistribuiion. — From Bering Sea to San Diego, California (including 

 Puget Sound and Strait of Fuca), 20-309 fathoms; taken at 142 

 stations by the Albatross, often in large numbers. Less abundant at 

 southern localities. Off southeastern coast of Kamchatka, 96-100 

 fathoms, at two Albatross stations. 



Two specimens were received from the Hopkins Laboratory at Pacific 

 Grove ; they were probably taken in deep water. 



One specimen was collected at Port Etches, Alaska, in 12-18 fathoms, 

 by W. H. Dall. 



Variations. — The rostrum in normal individuals does not extend be- 

 yond the eyes ; in many cases, however, it is evident that the rostrum 

 has been broken off or injured and later renewed, the new rostrum having 

 a narrow, elongated, and ascending tip exceeding the eyes, but of variable 

 length. In other respects these abnormal forms do not differ from the 

 types.

Near C. cominunis. Carapace and rostrum a little more than one 

 third the length of the abdomen ; a median carina on the middle third 



of the carapace, armed with two spines, not 

 far apart, the posterior larger and more ele- 

 vated and in front of the middle. A sharp 

 hepatic spine is in a transverse line with the 

 anterior median spine and terminates a short 

 but prominent carina. Rostrum long, narrow, 

 pointed, advanced beyond the eyes, ascend- 

 / ing at an angle of about forty-five degrees.
