dilated. The carpal process of the second pair is broad, longer than half the metacarpus. 

 The tibia? of the third and fourth pairs are almost tumid, much longer than the carpi; the dac- 

 tyli are long. The fifth and sixth pairs are a little longer than the third and fourth; the femora 

 are broad, linear; the dactyli are rather small. The second and third uval segments are free, 

 not coalesced; the hinder corners of the last segment are not produced, rounded. The pe- 

 duncles of the uropoda are linear, longer than the rami. The telson is large, rounded, 

 longer than half the peduncle of the last pair of uropoda.

The body is uncommonly broad. 



The head is somewhat deeper than long. 



The eyes are small, not elongate, scarcely occupying more than a third of the depth 

 of the head. 



The first pair of antennae (PL VIII, fig. 18) are longer than the head and the two 

 first pereional segments. The first joint of the peduncle is only a little longer than the 

 two following joints together. The third joint is longer than the second. The first joint of the 

 flagellum is high, broadly obtuse anteriorly, more than twice as long as the whole peduncle. 

 The two terminal joints are minute. 



The first pair of pereiopoda (PI. VIII, fig. 20); the femur is comparatively narrow, 

 irregular in shape. The carpus is shorter than the metacarpus. The metacarpus is finely 

 serrated along the lower half of the hinder margin. The dactylus is half as long as the 

 metacarpus, finely serrated. 



The second pair (PI. VIII, fig. 21) are scarcely longer than the first pair; the tibial 

 process is shorter than the carpus. The carpal process is scarcely as long as half the meta- 

 carpus, narrowly spoon-shaped, the margins serrated. The hinder margin of the metacarpus 

 is convex, serrated; the metacarpus is a little shorter than the carpus. 



The third and fourth pairs (PI. VIII, fig. 22); the tibia? are broad, almost tumid, 

 longer than the carpi, and as long as the metaearpi. The metacarpi are provided with 

 a few, 5 to 6, minute, equidistant spines along the hinder margin. The dactylus is shorter 

 than half the metacarpus. 



The fifth and sixth pairs (PL VIII, fig. 23) are equal in length. The femur is 

 narrow, almost linear, with three minute spines at the lower anterior corner. The 

 tibia is shorter than the carpus. The metacarpus is longer than the carpus, both joints 

 finely serrated along the anterior margins. The dactylus equals a third of the length of 

 the metacarpus. 



The seventh pair are longer than half the sixth. The femur is much longer than 

 broad, the dactylus is a little shorter than the metacarpus.
