proximal joints seemed to be armed with microscopic calceoli and 
setules, while for a great extent distally the joints were lengthened, 
unarmed, and of thread-like tenuity. In a female with well filled 
ovary, while the first antennz are just like those of the male, the 
second are very different, except that the peduncle is angularly bent. 
But here its terminal joint is more than twice as long as broad, not 
very much longer than the preceding joint and a little narrower, with 
a slender flagellum of seven or eight joints medially attached in the 
ordinary manner. 
The details of the mandibular trunk are difficult to make out with 
certainty. There seems to be a small triangular molar, and on one 
mandible a transparent accessory plate attended by two small spines. 
There is a little process on the upper margin just behind the small 
cutting edge. The first maxillee show a narrow inner plate, the outer 
plate short with eight serrate spines on its broad top, which is 
surpassed by the minutely denticulate distal margin of the two-jointed 
palp. The maxillipeds like the maxille are much compressed, resisting 
attempts to flatten them out. The inner plates appear to be narrowly 
elongate, the outer broad, with only the minutest armature. 
The first gnathopods are sub-chelate, the hand a little narrowed 
distally, where the small finger fits the slightly excavate distal margin ; 
all the joints of this and the following limbs having a membranaceous 
appearance. The second gnathopods are microscopically chelate. The 
first and second pereopods are alike, differing from those which follow 
by the much narrower second joint and the rather longer fourth. The 
normal proportions of the third, fourth and fifth pairs are sufficiently 
shown by the illustrations. The pleopods have several coupling sete. 
The exact armature of the uropods requires higher magnification than 
space on the plate permitted. Length of the largest specimens barely 
6 mm.
