drawing (PI. 2. fig. 6), are modified for grasping ; the first two 
joints are moderately stout, the third is very small, while the 
fourth is considerably dilated ; the remaining joints, which are 
small and hinged to the fourth, form together a kind of movable 
claw. The inner branches of the third pair of thoracie feet 
appear to be three-jointed (Pl. 2. fig. 7); the end joint, which is 
small and somewhat indistinct, is furnished with four terminal 
plumose setz of variable lengths, while the distal end of the — 
second joint is produced into a moderately stout hook-like 
process; the outer branches are not only proportionally more 
robust, but are also provided with rather stouter spines than the 
same pair in the female. : 
The outer branckes of the fourth pair are also more robust. 
than the outer branches of the same pair in the female; the 
inner branches scarcely reach to the end of the first joint of the 
outer branches; they are composed of two joints, but the end 
joint is about twice the length of the other, and bears a long 
spine-like seta on its outer distal angle, and four moderately — 
long plumose setze—two at the apex and two on the inner margin, 
as shown in the drawing (PI. 1. fig. 18). 
The fifth pair (Pl. 1. fig. 14) are very small; the basal joint is 
not produced interiorly, and is provided with a single plumose 
seta; the secondary joint is subcylindrical, but somewhat wider 
at the distal end, and provided with about four apical sete. 
This species, like most of the others, was a moderately rare 
one in the material washed from the perforated wood; it seems 
to differ from any Laophonte known to me.

Description of the female represented by the drawing (fig. 4) :— 
Length about 1°5 (fully y; of an inch); seen from above the 
body is elongated and subcylindrical; the cephalic segment is 
somewhat longer than the next two taken together, the second to 
the fifth segments are subequal in length. The first two segments 
of the abdomen appear to be coalescent, but the others are 
distinct. The thoracic and abdominal segments are all fringed 
with a few short and moderately stout spines, as shown in the 
drawing. The furcal joints are elongated and slender, being
