I have separated this form from P. montagui Leach of the North 

 Atlantic on account of its somewhat longer rostrum, which varies from one 

 and a half to one and two thirds times the carapace, the dorsal spines 

 terminating behind the middle of the rostrum, while in typical P. monta- 

 gui the rostrum is from one and two fifths to one and a half times the 

 carapace, and its dorsal spines reach to or in front of its middle. In P. 

 montagui the tip is bifid ; in the subspecies usually trifid.

An elongate species. Surface of carapace and abdomen roughened 

 with short and irregular transverse, punctate ridges, which give rise to 

 very short, bristle-like hairs. 



Rostrum from about one and a third to nearly twice as long as the 

 rest of the carapace, and curved very slightly upward ; armed above 

 with ii to 13 movable spines, of which one is near the tip and usually 

 only two on the carapace proper, while a considerable space back of 

 the terminal spine is unarmed ; below 6 to 8 immovable spines. The 

 posterior dorsal spine is considerably in front of the middle. 



Outer maxillipeds provided with an exopod ; the endopod falls short of 

 the end of the antennal scale, and the first pair of feet are correspond- 

 ingly shorter than the maxillipeds. Right leg of second pair reaches 

 about to end of first pair; carpus has 5 segments, proximal half undi- 

 vided, and followed by 3 subequal segments, each about as long as broad, 

 together equal to terminal segment ; chela about half as long as carpus. 

 The left leg of second pair has 52 to 64 segments in the carpus; the
