PARAMCRA SCHIZURUS, sp. nov. Plate X. 
This small species between three and four millimetres in length was 
unfortunately devoid of the third uropods. The specific name refers 
to the completely divided telson, by which it appears to be separated 
from the rest of the family. The body is very slender and the shape 
of the apparently shallow side-plates of the perzeon could not be 
ascertained. The first antenne are without accessory flagellum; the 
principal flagellum is well developed, four-jointed, as long as the 
peduncle, of which the third joint is about three-fourths the length of 
the second. The rather shorter second antennx have a seven-jointed 
flagellum. The palp of the mandibles is not strong, the third joint a 
little shorter than the second, with few setie. In the maxillipeds the 
penultimate and antepenultimate joints of the palp are conspicuously 
broad. 
The first gnathopods have the hand widest at the junction of the 
slightly convex palm with the hind margin, the carpus nearly as long 
as the hand. In the second gnathopods the hand, considerably longer 
than the carpus, has the front and hind margins parallel, connected by 
an oblique palm. In the perzeopods the sixth joint is longer than the 
fifth, nearly thrice as long as the finger. The telson is not longer 
than broad. 
Locality: from the sponge Cerao chalinus, collected at Vetch’s 
pier, Durban, by Mr. Bell Marley. 
Famity TALITRIDA.

Genus EXHYALELLA, Stebbing. 
1917. Exhyalella, Stebbing, Ann. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, vol. xx, p. 435. 
Distinguished from Hyalella, 8. I. Smith, by having the second 
gnathopod constructed on the same plan in both sexes.
