260 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [554] 



In life the males are semitranslucent and nearly colorless, while in the 

 females the antenuulaB, the flagella of the antennae, the ocular pedun- 

 cles, the thorax with the marsupial pouch, and the articulations of the 

 caudal appendages are beautiful rose color. 



Length of a male, 6.0 mm ; carapax along the dorsal line, 1.8 ; anteuual 

 scale. 0.70; telson, 0.90. Length of a female, 8.5 mm ; carapax, 2.5; an- 

 tennal scale, 0.88 ; telsou, 1.16. 



The absence of the sexual appendages from the autennulre of the male, 

 the peculiar structure of the anterior legs, and the similarity of the 

 abdominal appendages in the two sexes, at once separate the genus 

 Heteromysis from all known allied genera. 



THYSANOPODA, species. (452.) 



A great number of small specimens were taken from the stomach of 

 mackerel caught twenty miles off No Man's Land, July 18, 1871. 



Several were also caught swimming at the surface in Vineyard Sound, 

 April 30, 1873, by V. N. Edwards. 



A single specimen of a species apparently the same as this was taken 

 at New Haven, Connecticut, May 5, 1873, by Professor D. C. Eaton. 



CUMACKA. 

 DIASTYLIS QUADRISPINOSA, G. O. Sars. Plate III, fig. 13. (p. 507.) 



Ofversight af Kougl. Vet.-Akad. Forh., 1871, Stockholm, p. 7-J. 



Dredged in 23 fathoms of Martha's Vineyard and in 29 fathoms of 

 Buzzard's Bay. It is also found in the Bay of Fuiidy. Sars's specimens 

 were dredged by the Josephine expedition in 18 fathoms off Skinuecock 

 Bay, Long Island, and in 30 to 35 fathoms, latitude 39 54' north, lon- 

 gitude 73 15' west, off the coast of New Jersey. 



Our specimens agree well with Sars's description, except that the sec- 

 ond segment of the inner rainus of the lateral caudal appendages has 

 but three, or rarely four, spines upon the inner margin, while in Sars's 

 specimens there were five.
