CRUSTACEA DECAPO D A— BORRADAILE.

(ii) Tlie rostral horns are wider apart, and show no tendency to converge distally. 



Unfortunately their tips are broken off in the specimen, 

 (iii) Each of the meropodites of the legs, including that of the cheliped, bears a 



small spine above at the distal end. 

 (iv) There is a sharp spine on the edge of the merognathite of the third maxilli- 



ped, just outside the articulation of the carpopodite. 

 It seems probable that the specimen represents a form which is related to, but 

 specifically distinct from, P. longimanus, and I am accordingly proposing for it the 

 above name. 



Its length is 34 mm. 

 Station 90.

45. Paramithrax parvus, n. s^. Fig. 15. 



A small Paramithrax, dredged in 70 fathoms off the North Cape of New Zealand, 

 is probably closely related to P. minor, Filhol, 1888 (Miss. He Campbell, III, ii, p. 356, 

 pi. XL, fig. 4), but is clearly of a distinct species.- It differs from Filhol's species in 

 the following points : — 



(i) The rostral horns are shorter (about one-sixth the length of the rest of the 

 carapace) and broader.
