(iii) The spine on the outer side of the second segment of 

 the antenna is short. The terminal spine of the antennal scale 

 projects well beyond the distal end of the lamelja. 



(iv) The antepenultimate segment of the third maxilliped is 

 slightly more than 3 times as long as broad. 



(v) The carpus of the first peraeopod is about 7*5 times as 

 long as its distal breadth and the fingers are very little shorter 

 than the palm. 



(vi) In the second peraeopod (text-fig. 73) the ischium is 

 unarmed. The inerus has no spine at the distal end of the upper 

 border ; the lower border ends in a spine on the outer side and in 

 a rounded lobe or process on the inner side. The carpus is un- 

 armed. The fingers are bent slightly inwards in relation to the

palm and each bears in the proximal two-thirds of its inner margin 

 a series of 5 small teeth. The palm is less than twice the length 

 of the fingers. 



(vii) The last three peraeopods are stout. In the third pair 

 (see Tattersall's fig. 7) the merus is 4 times as long as wide. The 

 propodus is as broad as the merus and is barely 4 times as long as 

 wide. 1 At the distal end the propodus is nearly twice as broad as 

 the dactylus. 



(viii) The pleura of the fourth and fifth abdominal somites 

 are not acutely pointed infero-posteriorly. 



I It is a little too broad in Tattersall's figure.
