CRUSTACEA COPEPODA. II. 17 
has the endopod rather slender with the third joint three times as long as broad, but its terminal part is 
regularly shaped without any spine. — The free joint of fifth pair of legs minute. 
Length 1.65 mm. 
Remarks. — Though the description is incomplete, as some of the appendages were mutilated in 
the single specimen, it may in all probability be sufficient for determinating not only the male sex, but also 
the hitherto unknown female, as the equipment of dactylus and claw of the maxille is certainly similar 
in both sexes and besides very characteristic. It is closely allied to B. magniceps Brady as figured by Sars, 
but the male of this species was unknown to Sars, and his female seems to differ in the dactylus and claw of 
the maxillz, though it must be remembered that his figure of these parts is too small. Whether B. magniceps 
Sars is identical with Brady’s form or with that described under the same name by Giesbrecht seems to be 
somewhat uncertain. 
Occurrence. — Not taken by the “Ingolf’”’, but by Mag.sc. Kruuse at a single place. 
East Greenland: Ameralik (Lat. 65°51’ N.), low water; I male. 
17. Bradypontius(?) tenuipes n. sp. 
(Pl. II, figs. 5 a—5 f.) 
Female. — A single specimen with the left lateral part of the three anterior free segments misshaped 
and most of the appendages mutilated is to hand, but as the dactylus of the manxillee is extremely character- 
istic, the thicker part of the sipho narrow in front, and the free joint of fifth pair of legs long, the species is 
so peculiar that it is easily recognized and is therefore not omitted. In spite of the great difference in fifth 
legs between this species and the typical forms of Bradypontius, it is, at least provisionally, referred to this 
genus. 
Head somewhat broad, with the postero-lateral corners only a little produced and very broadly 
rounded. The two anterior free segments (fig. 5 a), have the lateral part on the right side produced strongly 
backwards with the end acute, and third segment is somewhat less produced. — Abdomen (fig. 5 a) as to 
length about as in B. papillatus Scott; second and third segment only moderately short, together half as long 
again as the terminal segment, which is distinctly broader than long and a little longer than the caudal rami, 
on which the outer seta is inserted considerably before the end. 
Antennule and antenne mutilated. — The sipho seems to have its suctorial tube broken, so that its 
length cannot be stated, but its proximal part (fig. 5 b) differs from that in any form of the group figured by 
Sars in being narrow in front and gradually increasing in breadth, though on the whole rather narrow. — Max- 
illulee with the inner ramus long and slender, somewhat longer than the outer very slender ramus; the ter- 
minal seta of the last-named ramus broken, but its preserved part a good deal longer than the ramus; the two 
terminal setee on the inner ramus very long. — Maxille (fig. 5 c) have the dactylus a good deal longer than the 
proximal part and most peculiar; at the end of its proximal two-thirds the concave margin has a nearly 
spiniform tooth, and slightly beyond half of the distal third a rather large, oblong, oblique process; beyond 
this process (fig. 5 d) the dactylus is expanded, raised as a very low and very oblong triangle, then armed 
with a few tiny and closely set denticles, while the most distal part of the dactylus is much curved; on the
