goo CRUSTACEA. 



Plate 67, fig. 12 a, animal, enlarged; b, outline section of thorax; 

 c, outer maxillipeds; d, leg of first pair; e, leg of second pair;/, same, 

 in oblique under view ; g, part of leg of fourth pair ; h, ibid, of fifth 

 pair; i, extremity of abdomen, upper view ; h, last pair of stylets. 



Probably from the Lagulhas Bank, near Cape Horn. 



Length, six to eight lines. The thin body, narrow triangular in its 

 section, and sharp-backed, is unlike that of any Hyperia described. 

 About fourteen indistinct joints may be counted in the flagellum of 

 the inferior antennae. The first pair of legs terminates in a small 

 claw, and is not at all prehensile ; the third joint is rectangular at 

 lower apex. The second pair has a process to lower apex of fourth 

 joint, nearly three-fourths as long as the finger (or fifth joint) ; along 

 the back of the fifth joint, there are four or five short hairs, or pairs of 

 hairs. The fourth joint of the fourth pair is more than twice the 

 width of the fifth joint; and both joints, besides four to seven short 

 hairs (not longer than diameter of fifth joint), have on the lower side 

 exceedingly minute spinules, closely set, seen only with a high mag- 

 nifier. The fifth joint of the legs of the fifth pair, has six or seven 

 pairs of short hairs on lower margin, not longer than diameter of 

 joint. The caudal stylets have the lamellae of each unequal, the 

 shorter nearly two-thirds as long as the longer, and both pointed.
