[Vol.. V, 



The first and second pleopods of the male are shown in figures 35 and 36, and 

 on the whole correspond with those found in allied genera. In the first pleopod 

 (fig. 35) the exopod is quite small, while the endopod is developed into a very large, 

 strongly chitinised and powerful appendage, swollen at the base, which is occupied 

 by a large muscle, and ending distally in an acute point curving slightly outwards ; 

 the male organ proper is only about half as long as the endopod, has the sides nearly 

 parallel and ends in a subacute point. In the second pleopod (fig. 36) the exopod is 

 much larger, being as long as the modified endopod, and tapers to a long triangular 

 process distally ; it is lobed on the outer margin near the base at the position of the 

 air cavity, the lobes apparently having a roughened surface ; there are a few, very 

 small, setae along the distal portion of the outer margin. The endopod has the shape 

 shown in figure 36. its terminal portion being very narrow.
