larger ones near the apex ; the rather longer straight inner ramus has a little spine at 

 the extremity. 



Telson triangular, as broad at the base as the length, the upper angles and the apex 

 rounded, each margin carrying a setule near the apex ; the telson reaches about halfway 

 along the peduncles of the third uropods. 



Length an eighth of an incli. 



Locality. Clyde. Obtained in some numbers at a depth of 20 fathoms, off Fairlie 

 Perch, in February 1889. 



Eemarks. The specific name is derived from Cumbrac, an island in the Clyde. This 

 species makes some approach to Podocerus mimttus, Sars, but is clearly distinguished 

 from it by the three-jointed flagella in both pairs of antennae, by the small concealed

 and the large tooth of that hand in the male being simple instead of double-ended
