side. There is a well-defined, though narrow, chitinous ring round 

 each hair pore. 



The distal area of the flexor surface of the third segment of the 

 palp has eight to ten pectinate spines. On the flexor surface of 

 the fourth segment there is an outer row of four to six long spines, 

 and an inner row of three curved bristles, and six to eight pec- 

 tinate spines. 



The postero-lateral processes of the capitulum are fairly long ; 

 they are blunt and arched up from the end of the capitulum. 

 The pharynx is without any prominent feature. 



E. neglecta measures about 3 mm. in length. It has been 

 recorded from Oban in Scotland, and from Ireland ; it has also 

 been noted from Norway, Sweden, Hungary and Switzerland, as 

 well as from Asiatic Russia (Akmolinsk).

The anterior margin of the intercapsular bridge possesses a broad 

 process which is truncated at its extremity, and has a broad some- 

 what triangular subcutaneous portion. The posterior margin has a 

 deep bay, which extends to nearly half the length of the capsules 

 and varies in outline from an acute to a more or less rounded 

 form. Each capsule is broad posteriorly, but is narrower 

 anteriorly. The anterior lens is rather small with a short stalk. 



The palpi are about 1'35 mm. length, and are more slender than 

 those of E. infundihulifera. The distal inner margin of the 

 second segment is without spines on its middle portion. Towards 

 the distal end of the flexor surface there are three pectinate 

 spines with two others on the margin. The extensor surface has 

 seven or eight smooth bristles. The third segment is of about 

 the same thickness throughout, and is thus without the usual 

 development on the distal flexor surface. The proximal portion 

 of the inner surface has eighteen or twenty spines, some of which 

 are pectinate, and of these, eight are grouped distally. The 

 fourth segment is also of nearly equal stoutness throughout, but 

 its flexor surface is not so marked as in the case of E. infundihuli- 

 fera. The proximal half of the inner surface has about thirty 

 long spines, and at the distal end there are five or six pectinate
