Description. — 1^ long. Body of six articulations ; first largest. 

 Tail of five ; the last sending off two lobes, each of which gives ori- 

 gin to five plumose setae. Eye large, of a fine ruby colour. Anten- 

 nae large and strong, of about twenty-six articulations ; each segment 

 furnished with one or more setae ; last one terminated by five une- 

 qually long ones. In the male, the right antenna alone has the 

 swelling and hinge-joint which characterize the sex. Antennules 

 (Fig. 2) bifid ; two branches of unequal length, arising from a com- 

 mon stalk. The shorter of the two can be carried backwards or for- 

 wards at pleasure of animal, and is composed of three articulations, 

 the first of which is short, and inserted into common foot-stalk ; the 

 second is furnished on its edge with a dozen of small dentations, 

 from which arise as many hairs ; and the third is provided at extre- 

 mity with three long hairs. * The longer branch is also composed 

 of three articulations ; the first articulated with body of animal ; the 

 third terminates in several long filaments, which have an articula- 

 tion in the middle of the length, adding much to their suppleness.f 

 Internal mandibles (Fig. 3) resemble somewhat those of preceding 

 species, but have the " barbillons" much larger and bifid, while the 



* This part of the antennule is what Muller calls the palpi. 

 •f This portion is what Muller describes under the name of remi.
