inner edge ; the outer maxillae (e) are apparently formed 

 of three closely soldered joints, indicated by bristles, on 

 the inner edge, the second and third joints being pro- 

 duced on the inner margin. The inner maxillae are 

 bilobed, the outer division broader than that of the 

 outer pair, and armed with stronger bristles, the inner 

 division minute and armed with bristles set on at right 

 angles. 



The four anterior pairs of legs are rather shorter than 

 the three posterior ones, the former being armed with 

 short spines on the lower edge, whilst the hind ones are 

 smooth, having the outer angles of the middle joints 

 conically produced and setose. The uropoda, or lateral 

 appendages of the tail, arise on each side from a broad 

 basal joint, the inner division being larger than the 

 outer and obliquely truncate at its extremity ; both 

 having ciliated margins.
