the propodos. Third, fourth, and fifth pereiopoda similar in form, in- 

 creasing somewhat in size posteriorly, basa much expanded. Lower por- 

 tions of the sides of the second and third segments of pleon supplied with 

 numerous setse. Pleopoda short, all reaching to about the same point. 

 Fourth pair with peduncle stout, produced into a sharp point between the 

 rami, upper margin with strong setae, rami equal, with strong setse on upper 

 margins and at the extremities, fifth pair similar but with rami unequal, 

 peduncle of sixth pair stout, outer ramus nearly as long as. peduncle, with 

 thick tuft of set£e about as long as the ramus at the end ; inner ramus rudi- 

 mentary with one or two small setas, telson narrowing greatly towards the 

 end, posterior margin sinuous, convex in centre, concave on each side, on 

 the upper part of the telson towards the end is a rather long seta on each 

 side, and between this and the postero-lateral angle are two sharp teeth 

 pointing upwards. Colour greyish.

Hab. Lyttelton Harbour. 



This species appears to differ from other species of the same genus in 

 the presence of a secondary appendage to the upper antenna, and in having 

 the first gnathopoda simple, not subchelate ; the plumose character of the 

 gnathopoda is however, I think, sufficient evidence of its near relationship. 



I take pleasure in naming this species after Dr. E. von Lendenfeld, by 

 means of whose scraper I obtained several specimens off one of the buoys 

 in Lyttelton Harbour.

Panoplcea translucens, sp. nov. PI. xxi., fig. 3, a to c. 



Closely related to Panoplcea debilis, but larger and lighter in colour and 

 differing in the following points. None of the segments produced poste- 

 riorly into spines. The two pairs of gnathopoda similar in shape and equal 

 in size, much stouter than in P. debilis, basos with longish setse on both 

 sides, carpus nearly as long as propodos, propodos rectangular, slightly 

 more than twice as long as broad, palm oblique extending about one-third 

 along the inferior margin of the propodos, one stout seta on each side of the 

 point where the dactylos impinges, numerous tufts of stout short setse 

 along inferior margin of propodos. Three last pairs of pleopoda very 

 slender, fourth pair with peduncle considerably longer than the rami, con- 

 cave above, upper margins with short stout setse, outer ramus longer than 

 the inner, both with setse on the upper margin and at the end ; fifth pair 

 similar, but with outer ramus shorter than peduncle, and the inner One 

 longer than the peduncle ; sixth with peduncle stout, naked, rami equal, 

 longer than peduncle, broad when seen from above, both margins with
