CYMOBOCE INORNATA, sp. nov. 



(Fig. 30.) 



Station 48. 



Body minutely hairy, and very finely granulose. Frontal 

 margin of the cephalon rathef broad, with a small median 

 process. First segment of the peraeon as long as the cephalon, 

 second to seventh short, gradually decreasing in length. Epimera 

 of the first segment acutely 

 produced in front, angular 

 behind; on the second, third, 

 and fourth they are narrow, 

 acute, with their apices 

 dii'ected downwards, and 

 inclined towards the pos- 

 terior end of the body ; the 

 fifth is obtuse ; the sixth 

 and seventh are subfalcate 

 and acute. The pleon ex- 

 hibits four segments — the 

 first is short and continued 

 from side to side, the second 

 and third are only indicated 

 laterally, the fourth is the 

 longest, its posterior border 

 is convex and slightly 

 thickened. The epimeral 

 processes of the pleon are 

 longer than those of the 

 peraeon ; the first has a 

 rounded lobe on the anterior 

 border. The sutures indi- 

 cating the union of the 

 epimera with the body are 

 well defined on the peraeon, 

 but absent on the pleon. 

 Terminal segment convex, 

 somewhat flat at the vertex, and there is a slight semicircular 

 depression which extends from one uropod to the other ; posterior
