but not on a body process ; the first joint is small, the second is a little longer, the two 
following which are longer still, the fourth is largest. The appendage bears a moderate 
number of minute setze. 
I have been unable to distinguish the cement glands on the femur as described 
and figured by Professor G. H. Carpenter for other species. (4 and 5.) 
PSEUDOPALLENE. 
This genus, established by Mr. E. B. Wilson in 1878, has been more completely 
defined in accordance with modern requirements by Professor G. O. Sars (25). It is 
very closely allied to Cordylochele (G. O. Sars), but the special features which 
distinguish it from that genus are (a) the crown of sete at the distal extremity of the 
proboscis ; (6) the presence of spines on the body and legs. 
Two species are now described, one of which I regard for the present as identical 
with those derived from the ‘ Valdivia’ and ‘ Frangais’ Expeditions.

Specific characters :— 
Body with long lateral processes not very widely separated, these armed dorsally with a stout 
spur. A pair of similar spurs on the cephalon. 
Legs with longitudinal rows of setie set in small tubercular bases. Propodus well covered with 
setze and a proximal group ventrally of half-a-dozen spines. 
Oviger ten-jointed. Denticulate spines with three strong teeth at the base. 
Body rather robust, with long lateral processes not very widely separated. The 
length of these processes is increased by a very prominent spur which occurs dorsally 
on each. 
A very conspicuous spur occurs on the antero-lateral border of the Cephalon. 
This is rather long, with a definitely constricted neck, and widens considerably into two 
lobes bearing the chelifori, and between which the proboscis arises. 
The Ocular tubercle is short and stout, rounded above, and bears four well- 
developed eyes. It lies between the first pair of lateral processes and the neck. 
The Abdomen is of normal proportions, gently tapering, and not articulated to the 
trunk. It is directed upwards, but does not extend beyond the posterior lateral 
processes, and bears a few minute sete. The segmentation is distinct. 
The length of the body is 6mm., and its extreme width is barely 5mm. 
The Proboscis is ventral in origin, rising apparently from a pocket between the 
chelifori, directed obliquely downwards. It is a little longer than the cephalic segment 
gently tapering to a blunt point, the small triangular mouth being surrounded by a 
tuft of small bristles.
