TEXT-FIG. 6. — Palaemo-

Last three segments of 

 third peraeopod. 



It bears 8 teeth above and 3 below, two of 

 the former being situated on the carapace. 

 The antennal scale is a little more than 

 3 times as long >as wide. The carpus of 

 the first peraeopod is about i"2 times the 

 length of the chela. In the second peraeo- 

 pods the merus is a little more than 5 

 times as long as wide. The carpus bears 

 two conspicuous teeth on the inner side of 

 its distal margin and is slightly less than 4 

 times as long as its distal breadth. The 

 chela is about 2*5 times as long as the 

 carpus and the palm is nearly 4 times as 

 long as broad. There are two teeth in 

 the proximal half of each finger as in P. 

 vestigialis. The last three peraeopods are 

 slender, the fifth reaching well beyond the 

 antennal scale. In the third pair the merus 

 is 10 times as long as wide and the propo- 

 dus, which bears spinules on its posterior 

 edge, is 3*3 times as long as the dactyl us. 

 The telson spines are arranged as in the 

 preceding species.
