296 GAM MARINE. 



brush of very long hairs. The hand is long and narrow, 

 and fringed on both margins with a few hairs ; the palm 

 is very oblique and not denned ; the finger is short and 

 much curved. 



The rest of the animal appears to bear a near re- 

 semblance to M. gryllotalpa. 



The specimen from which our figure is taken was 

 damaged, the inferior antennas and last pair of walking 

 legs being broken off. By an error one of the latter is 

 figured as being present, but it is drawn considerably too 

 short, most probably it is of the same dimensions as that 

 in the other species. The specific name also, proposed in 

 allusion to the fascicle of hairs on the second pair of 

 legs, has accidentally been incorrectly printed, but its 

 proposer considers that there is less liability of con- 

 fusion if the original name, though established by 

 accident, be retained, than if it were now to be altered. 



The animal is of a horny colour, gradually passing 

 into a gray tint along the dorsal surface. 



It was dredged by us near Plymouth, in company with 

 our friend Mr. H. Stewart.
