12 Mr. G. S. Brady on the Non-parasitic Marine Copepoda 



My specimens do not entirely agree with the figures and 

 descriptions given by Claus ; but I am unwilling, without a 

 more extended examination, to describe them as belonging to 

 a distinct species. 



2. Laophonte lamellifera (Claus). 

 Cleta lamellifera, Cls. Die frei-lebend. Copep. p. 123, pi. 15. figs. 21-24. 

 One specimen, on frond of Laminaria saccharina at Roker. 



3. Laophonte Hodgii^ n, sp. PI. VI. figs. 1-9. 



Upper antennse six- or seven-jointed, those of the male (?) 

 shorter and thicker than those of the female, rather densely setose ; 

 lower foot-jaw of moderate size, with a very long and slender 

 slightly curved claw ; outer branch of first foot three-jointed, 

 short : fifth pair of feet foliaceous, larger in the male, the outer 

 branch elongated, having four or six long setse on the apex 

 and outer margin ; the inner wider, and bearing internally 

 four or five marginal seta3, those situated near the apex being 

 very long. Caudal segments in the female at least four times 

 as long as broad. 



Hah. Off Seaham, dredged in twenty to thirty fathoms. 

 Several specimens were taken. I have a mournful pleasure in 

 naming this species after my late friend, Mr. George Hodge, 

 it having been taken during one of the last dredging-excur- 

 sions in which I had the pleasure of his company. 



Genus CletodeS, nov. gen. 



Animal resembling Laophonte in general appearance. Up- 

 per antennaj six-jointed. All the four pairs of swimming-feet 

 alike, and having the outer branch three-, the inner two- 

 jointed. Lower foot-jaw chelate. Lower antennge without a 

 secondary branch. 



Cletodes limicola^ n. sp. PI. VI. figs. 10-17. 



Animal, when seen from above, elongated, distinctly in- 

 dented at each ring of the body. First segment of cephalo- 

 thorax short, about equal in length to the two following ; 

 second and third abdominal segments produced into spinous 

 processes at the lower lateral angles. Upper antennae in the 

 female much shorter than the first cephalothoracic segment ; 

 first three joints short and nearly equal, fourth about half as 

 long as the third, fifth as long as the third, but much more 

 slender : in the male forming at the third joint a large vesi- 

 culiform swelling, last joint elongated and uncinate. Swim- 

 ming-feet elongated, slender ; the outer branch ciliated on the
