Descriptions of some Australian Phyllopoda. 35 



a cat, being broad and compressed at the base and suddenly 

 bent in the middle, terminating in a sharp point, inside which 

 are a few small denticles (see fig. 7 a). The subapical append- 

 age is uniarticulate, and curved in a similar manner to that of 

 the claw, the tip being clothed with very small sensory bristles. 



In the 3rd pair of legs (fig. 8), as also in several of the 

 succeeding ones, the membranous stylet issuing from the 4th 

 endite, is much prolonged and divided into 2 distinct joints, 

 the outer of which is clothed at the tip with delicate sensory 

 bristles (fig. 9). 



The tail (see fig. 3) does not differ in its structure from 

 that in the female. 



The colour of the shell is also much the same. 



Occurrence The specimens in the collection of Mr. 

 Whitelegge were, according to the label, taken by Mr. A. M. 

 Lea, «Near Hay», N S. W. Those examined by Brady 

 were found by Prof. Tate in Lake Bonney, River Murray, 

 South Australia, and also at Fowler Bay, Great Australian 

 Bight. 



Distribution. If my supposition that the E. Boysii 

 of Baird is the same species, be correct, its distribution ex- 

 tends to India.
