Rostrum curved upward, broad at base, narrowing anteriorly to form a long, 
sharp acumen, Central part of gastric region prominent above the hepatic 
region, from which it is separated by a deep pit. A prominent transverse ridge 
on cardiac region, forming the posterior wall of a deep fossa. Antero-lateral an- 
gles rounded. Second segment of abdomen armed. with a median spine which is 
curved forward; third and fourth segments with a very prominent ridge which 
bears an acute median tooth ; pleure of second segment faintly tuberculate, the 
others narrow with the external angles rounded but not truncate. Eye spine- 
less, almost concealed by the base of the rostrum, Antenne about as long as 
the carapace ; a conspicuous spine on the upper side of the third segment. 
Cheliped long, tuberculate with the exception of the fingers; chela slender, 
fingers not gaping, Ambulatory legs tuberculate with the exception of the 
dactyli, which are furnished with small teeth on the posterior margin. 
Length of body, 29 mm. ; length of carapace, 15.5 mm.; breadth of carapace, 
9 mm.; length of rostrum, 6 mm.; length of cheliped, 30 mm. 
There is some variation in the length and upward curvature of the rostrum 
among the different specimens. A female, from station 3424, differs markedly 
from the males in having the tubercles on the carapace and appendages much 
more strongly developed. 
Station 3424. 676 fathoms. 2 males, 1 female ovig.

Munidopsis depressa, sp. nov. 
Closely allied to M. hamata, but differs as follows. The cephalothorax is 
more swollen, so that the sides of the carapace are visible below the epimeral 
sutures when the animal is viewed from above. The median row of spines on 
the carapace consists of a smaller number of spines (two on the gastric region, 
one on the cardiàc region, and one on the posterior margin). The spinules of the 
lateral margin of the carapace are less developed. The depression on the cara- 
pace involves the gastric region to a greater degree. The anterior margin of the 
carapace is not so straight, and it is not spinuliferous. The antero-lateral spine 
is.more prominent, the eyes smaller, and the antenne shorter (shorter than the 
carapace). There is, moreover, no spine on the fifth abdominal segment, 
Length, 32 mm.; carapace, 19 mm.; rostrum, 5 mm.; breadth of carapace, 
12.5 mm. 
Station 3425. 680 fathoms. 1 male, 
Munidopsis carinipes, sp. nov. 
Carapace quadrangular, flat, marked by a median tubereulated ridge on the 
gastric and cardiac regions ; sides converging a little from front backward ; the 
antero-lateral angles form a rounded shoulder. Rostrum broad.at base, nearly 
horizontal, sides converging near tip, which is blunt; upper surface nearly
