fathoms. The other species is represented by a single example from Sta- 

 tion 3425, 680 fathomS; and is portrayed on Plate X., Fig. 2. The rostrum 

 in this specimen is more than one half as long as the rest of the carapace, 

 and is forked at the tip, as in L. maia (Linn.) and L. murrayi Hend. There 

 is a long spine on the lower side of the base of the rostrum, directed for- 

 ward, and there are two pairs of lateral rostral spines. The second anten- 

 nal seo-ment is armed with a long spine which bears a short spinule on its 

 outer side near the base. Length of carapace without the rostrum, 17 mm. ; 

 length of rostrum, 9 mm. ; breadth of carapace, 16 mm.

The anterior part of the carapace, in front of the cervical suture, is
