Ihe supraocular spines are shorter, closer to the median rostral spine, and 

 fused more completely with the latter at the base. The eye is larger, the 

 transverse lidges on the abdominal somites fewer in number.' The lateral 

 spines of tile carapace and the abdominal spines are more fully developed. 

 The cardiac area is narrower and bounded by more distinct furrows.

specimen has the rostrum shorter and less strongly upturned; the supra- 

 ocular spmes, too, are shorter (shorter than the eyes). There is no row of 

 spmes, but merely a ridge, along the superior or external face of the hand 

 The second abdominal somite bears only two spines instead of eighf, as in 

 the type; but this is of no great importance, since the spines of that segment 

 are altogether absent in one of the "Blake" specimens (Station No. 2), and
