wide and the broad but rather sharply angled apex of the lamella extends beyond the 

 spine which terminates the straight outer margin for a distance not greater than the 

 length of the spine. 



The mandible is without palp; the incisor process terminates in three teeth. 

 The epipod of the first maxillipede is a little emarginate but is not bilobed. The 

 exopod of the third maxillipede reaches about to the end of the antepenultimate 

 segment, which is furnished with a variable number of spinules on its outer margin. 

 The ultimate segment is about two-thirds the length of the antepenultimate.

The first peraeopods (text-fig. 26c) reach to two-thirds the length or almost to 

 the apex of the antennal scale. The merus and carpus are of equal length and about 

 one sixth longer than the chela. The dactylus is equal in length to the palm and 

 there are a few tufts of setae on the fingers, at the base of the palm and at the 

 distal end of the carpus. 



The second peraeopods (text-figs. 26^, e) reach beyond the end of the scale by 

 the length of the fingers and sometimes by almost the entire length of the palm as 

 well. The lengths of the segments (in mm.) of seven specimens are as follows : —
