In the " Challenger " specimen from off East Moncoeur Island 

 the flagellum of the first antennse was missing. In a specimen 

 measuring 7 "5 mm. in length this flagellum is nine-jointed. The 

 little process to which the ventral carina of the rostrum is pro- 

 duced is well seen in this specimen. 



Localities. — A specimen, much damaged, was obtained off Port 

 Hacking, another from Botany Bay.

In the specimen representing the genus from Australia the 

 body was not especially indurated. The species to be described 

 agrees with B. typica, Boeck, in having the second joint of the 

 fifth peraeopods narrowly oblong, but with B. tuherculata, Sars, 

 in the acuminate rostrum. The peraeon is not dorsally smooth 

 as in the former species and is much more sharply carinate than 

 in the latter.

Station 57. 



From B. tuhercidata, with which in many respects it remark- 

 ably agrees, this species is distinguished by its much smaller 

 size, the character of its dorsal carina, and 'the narrowness of the 

 second joint of the last peraeopods. 



All the segments of the peraeon and first two of the pleon 

 raised to an acute carinawith the apically pointed processes succes- 

 sively larger, the first segment having also a point directed 

 forward over the head. The first two segments are short, closely 

 united, with the carina very low. The lower margins of the
