Cuitton.—Some New Zealand Amphipoda. 637 
terminal joint narrow, curved, its extremity acute and probably acd 
senting the minute dactyl almost fused to the end of the propod. (Fig. 8 
First gnathopod with basal joint very long and narrow, much longer than 
rest of limb, its margins with a few short setules and some long ones towards 
postero-distal angle, merus produced into a narrow lobe fringed with setules, 
earpus about as long as merus and with a similar but broader lobe, terminal 
deed probably representing fused propod and dactyl, curved towards the 
apex, inner margin with a row of setules, outer margin with three 
ое or small tufts. (Fig. 9 3 
Second gnathopod similar to mot but with lobe of merus broader and 
dactyl Aper from propod. (Fig. 
t peraeopod normal, its pde pers much shorter than rest of limb ; 
into a small subacute lobe; carpus and pro subequal, dactyl strong, 
curved, nearly half as long as propod ; setules on different joints few and 
short. (Fig. 11.) 
Second peraeopod similar to first. (Fig. 
Third peraeopod with basal joint аа narrow, its posterior margin 
bearing a row of long hairs towards distal end, sisti joints similar to 
those of preceding peraeopoda. (Fig. 13. 
Fourth peraeopod — to third but with basal joint shorter and 
broader and bearing a = long hairs extending along nearly the whole 
of posterior margin. 14.) 
Fifth peraeopod Kee reduced and forming a suboval plate which 
probably represents the basal joint ; posterior margin of this plate irregularly 
serrate towards distal end, surface bearing a row of short setules runni 
longitudinally down middle of joint; at end of the plate is a short oblong 
joint "e two or three setules at apex. (Fig. 15.) 
First uropod has basal joint greatly elongated, about twice as long as 
rami, which are equal in length and lanceolate in € ; а row of short 
Third uropod with basal an stout and ange than outer ramus, inner 
ramus about emere long as outer, whole uropod almost or quite free 
from setules. (Fig. 1 
The telson as seen in side view is triangular and сааш dorsally ; when 
detached ais viewed from below the area of attachment appears oval in 
utline, narrowing posteriorly, a хна the projecting portion as a plate narrow- 
ing зна аа йн to the broadly rounded extremity. (Figs. 19 and 20.)
