drawing (PI. 2. fig. 6), are modified for grasping ; the first two 

 joints are moderately stout, tlie third is very small, while the 

 fourth is cousiderahly dilated ; the remaining joints, which are 

 small and hinged to the fourth, form together a kind of movable 

 claw. The inner branches of the third pair of thoracic feet 

 appear to be three-jointed (PI. 2. fig. 7) ; the end joint, which is 

 small and somewhat indistinct, is furnished with four terminal 

 plumose setae of variable lengths, while the distal end of the 

 second joint is produced into a moderately stout hook-like 

 process ; the outer branches are not only proportionally more 

 robust, but are also provided with rather stouter spines than tlie 

 same pair in the female. 



The outer branches of the fourth pair are also more robust 

 than the outer branches of the same pair in the female ; the 

 inner branches scarcely reach to the end of the first joint of the 

 outer branches ; they are composed of two joints, but the end 

 joint is about twice the leugth of the other, and bears a long 

 spine-like seta on its outer distal angle, and four moderately 

 long plumose setae — two at the apex and two on the inner margin, 

 as shown in the drawing (PI, 1. fig. 13). 



The fifth pair (PL 1. fig. 14) are very small ; the basal joint is 

 not produced interiorly, and is j)rovided with a single plumose 

 seta; the secondary joint is subcylindrical, but somewhat wider 

 at the distal end, and provided with about four apical setae. 



This species, like most of tlie others, was a moderately rare 

 one in the material washed from the perforated wood ; it seems 

 to differ from any Laoplionte known to me.

Description of the female represented by the drawing (fig. 4) : — 

 Length about 1-5 (fully -^ oi an inch); seen from above the 

 body is elongated and subcylindrical ; the cephalic segment is 

 somewhat longer than the next two taken together, the second to 

 the fifth segments are subequal in length. The first two segments 

 of the abdomen appear to be coalescent, but the others are 

 distinct. The thoracic and abdominal segments are all fringed 

 with a few short and moderately stout spines, as shown in the 

 drawing. The furcal joints are elongated and slender, being
