TEMORA. 53 



are fringed with small spines or spine-like hairs. There 

 is, however, considerable variety in the conformation 

 of these organs. The fifth foot in the female (fig. 12) 

 is small, three-jointed, the basal joint stout and bear- 

 ing a single long seta, the next very small 3 and the 

 terminal joint forming a long and slender curved claw. 

 Abdomen very short, the first segment, in the female, 

 being much the largest ; caudal segments also short, 

 about twice as long as broad : tail-setse rather longer 

 than the abdomen. Length £- th of an inch (1*3 

 mm.). Colour yellowish, whitish, or pellucid. Bias 

 longiremis is found abundantly in the open sea and 

 between tide marks all round the British islands ; it 

 occurs sometimes also in brackish water, but in that 

 case is usually small and poorly developed.

 the female. Anterior antennae twenty-four- or 

 twenty-five-jointed ; that of the right side in the
