The bodj is not keeled, the integument sniootli. The eiies are middlc-sized, ovate. The 

 seventh peveional segment is the shortest, the second and third are the longest; the last 

 three segments are longer than the fourth. The first pair of pereiopoda with a thick 

 , nearly conical metacarpus, which is longer than broad. The fourth pair are as long as 

 the fifth pair. The sixth pair are shorter than the pereion. The seventh pair are shorter 

 than the fourth. The pleonal segments are not serrated. The uropoda are short. The 

 telson is shoi-ter than the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda, tongue-shaped. 



Colour, Brownish.

An examination of some fresher specimens of Lanceola curticeps has convinced me that 

 I was wrong in making it a species of its own; it is not specifically different; the name 

 Lanceola curticeps must therefore be rejected and the specimens considered as varieties 

 only of Lanceola felina, eharacterized by a little longer pleon and a sliorter telson. 



The body is smooth, somewhat elongated and depressed, not so much arched as in the 

 preceding species. 



The head is only twice as deep as long, the acute rostrum is longer than the rest 

 of the head. The head with the rostrum is half as long as the tirst pereional segment.
