inside, extending along the distal half of the section. The 

 terminal section (see also fig. 5) is well defined from the 

 median one, with which it is very movably articulated, and, 

 as in the other species of this genus, exhibits a somewhat 

 hand-like appearance, being divided into 2 digitiform pro- 

 cesses. These processes, or digiti, however, in the present spe- 

 cies are very complicated in structure, and more or less arbo- 

 rescent, whereas the palm itself is simple, without any pro- 

 jections. Of the digiti the anterior is much smaller than the 

 posterior, being scarcely more than half as long, and is some- 

 what hollowed in its proximal part, the anterior edge being 

 folded round, to form a projecting lappet inside, beyond 

 Avhich is another small rounded lobe. Posteriorly it sends 

 off a strong hook-like process, which curves behind, cross- 

 ing the base of the posterior digitus. The terminal part is 

 simple, spiniform, and slightly curved anteriorly. The posterior 

 digitus is rather thick in its proximal part, and at some 

 distance from the base divides into 2 rami, the one simple, 

 spiniform, and curved anteriorly, the other considerably 

 larger, and dividing again at the end into 2 unequal di- 

 verging processes, both terminating in a sharp point. The 

 proximal part of this ramus has the anterior edge sharpened 

 and divided into a row of irregular dentiform projections, 

 and at its end 3 other denticles are seen turning round to 

 the opposite edge. 



Of the oral parts, the anterior lips and the mandibles 

 are easily observable, being of quite normal structure. 



The branchial legs (figs. 7, 8, 9) also do not differ much 

 in their structure from those in the other species of the 

 genus. The terminal lobe of the endopodite is obtusely 

 rounded and not very prominent, and is fringed with com- 

 paratively short setæ, which at the lower corner assume a
