lobes are acute. The uropoda are short, not longer than half the length 

 of the terminal segment of the body; the basal segment is broad, 

 quadrate in shape, and shorter than either branch ; the 

 inner branch is somewhat longer than the outer one. The 

 middle piece of the operculum in the male is very similar 

 to the figure given by Sars 1 of the type species of the 

 genus, Janiropsis breviremus. It is produced and greatly 

 dilated at the distal extremity. 



Nine specimens were obtained by the Harriman Expe- 

 dition at Yakutat, Alaska. They were collected by T. 

 Kincaid, after whom the species is named. Five females

(x 77)- and four males were collected. The legs of the first pair 

 in the male are not greatly longer than the others ; they are longer in 

 the type species of Janiropsis.

The very short superior antennae with few articulations, the greatly 

 dilated joints of the max- 

 illipeds, the form and 

 shape of the middle piece 

 of the male operculum, 

 with its dilated tip, and 

 the shortness of the uro- 

 poda, which are only half 

 the length of the termi- 

 nal segment of the body, 

 are characters which un- 

 doubtedly place this spe- 

 cies with Janiropsis Sars.
