COLE 



coxal region ; broader distally, where it is produced dorsally into a blunt 

 angle armed with i to 2 or 3 short spines rather stouter than the others. 

 Tibial joints both stout and about equal to/, in length; dorsally each 

 has 3 swellings, one at either end and one in the middle, and the short 

 spines are grouped in small clumps of 3 or 4 on these swellings. First 

 tarsal joint very short and broad, armed ventrally with i stout spine 

 and 2 or 3 smaller ones; ts.z nearly as long as /.2, stout, broader 

 proximally than distally, and moderately arched ; armed dorsally with an 

 irregular series of short bristles ; the heel bears 3 stout spines, the sole a 

 series of small ones. Claw fully half as long as ts.2, strong, evenly 

 tapering, and curved ; aux. d. well developed, about half as long as cL, 

 rather straight. Besides the armature mentioned, there are short stilf 

 spines scattered sparsely over all the joints of the leg. 



The following measurements are approximate : length (in this case 

 from tip of proboscis to distal border of fourth lateral processes) 1.3 mm. ; 

 extent 7 mm. ; length of palp 0.45 mm. ; length of oviger 1.5 mm. 



SPECIMEN EXAMINED. 



Remarks. — This species was, unfortunately, represented by only a 

 single specimen, which, however, is distinct from C. conirostris Dohrn, as 

 may be seen by the blunt, cylindrical proboscis, the shorter, more 

 rounded caudal segment, the processes on the anterior sides of the first 

 coxal joints, and other details. 



Each of the ovigera carried a small irregular rounded egg-mass con- 

 taining probably 50 to 60 eggs. The ovigera were thrust through the 

 masses eccentrically, so that the bulk of the mass lay to one side. 



Family PHOXICHILIDHD^. 



Chelifori present, chelate ; palpi absent ; ovigera present in the male 

 only, 5- or 6-jointed. 



Genus Phoxichilidium Milne Edwards ('40, p. 535). 

 Orithyia Johnston ('37, p. 368). 



Trunk slender, cylindrical ; lateral processes well separated. Neck 

 short, i.e., first trunk segment projects but little if at all beyond base of 

 proboscis ; emarginate between bases of chelifori. Proboscis compara- 

 tively short, cylindrical. Eye tubercle small, subconical. Caudal seg-
