FROM THE FAROE CHANNEL. 5 



somewhat resembles Laoplionte curticauda, Boeck, iii. general 

 appearance, except that the second segment of the abdomen is 

 ratber wider tban tbe segment which precedes it, and also than 

 those which follow (PI. 1. fig. 9). 



The rostrum, which is moderately broad, is bluntly rounded at 

 the apex, and scarcely reaches to the end of the fi.rst joint of 

 tbe antennules. 



The antennules are about as long as the cephalothoracie 

 segment, seven-jointed, and moderately setiferoua ; the first 

 three joints are subequal, and together are equal to fully one and 

 a half times the entire length of the remaining four joints ; the 

 fourth and fifth joints are rather shorter than the sixth and 

 seventh, and the fourth is furnished with a sensory filament 

 (PI. 2. fig. 1). 



The penultimate joints of the antennse are each provided with 

 a small uniarticulal e secondary appendage which bears a few 

 plumose setae (PI. 2. fig. 2). 



The mandibles (PL 2. fig. 3) are of moderate size, but the palp 

 is very small and uniarticulate. 



The other mouth-organs resemble those of Laophonte curti- 

 cauda, but the second maxillipeds (PI. 1. fig. 11) are propor- 

 tionally rather stouter. 



The first pair of thoracic feet are somewhat similar to those of 

 the same species, biit the joints of the outer branches are sub- 

 equal in length (PI. 1. fig, 12). The second, third, and fourth 

 pairs have the inner branches short and two-jointed, the first 

 joints being small ; the outer branches are moderately elongated. 

 The drawing (PI. 2. fig. 4) represents the fourth pair. 



In the fifth pair, which are foliaceous, the basal joints have a 

 somewhat triangular outline, but the inner portion is produced 

 so as to reach to near the middle of the secondary joints ; the 

 inner margin of the produced part is provided with apparently 

 three moderately stout setae in addition to a small seta at the 

 apex. The secondary joints are subcylindrical ; they are fully 

 twice as long as broad, and are each furnished with about five 

 small setae on the distal half of the outer margin and apex, as 

 shown in the drawing (PI. 2. fig. 5), 



The furcal joints are about as long as the last abdominal 

 segment. 



The onale appears to difler very little from the female, except 

 in the following particulars : — The antennules, as shown in the
