When deserihing Lima, the author recorded as that species a male which was 
associated with the females; the differences in the uropods were noted. Since then 
a small sertes of identical males was taken by submarine light, while also available 
is the Female of sheardi recorded above, and other females from the Joseph Banks 
erou(i a comparison of theappendages (partienlarly the uropod) and filth pleon 
and telsonie somites of the females with those of the males in question (ef. nrop,, 
fig, 0) leaves Hilile doubt as to their relationship. (See also note under lima 
herein). 
hoe females collected by Mr, Cotton have (he granulation pronounced, the 
vranules clonwale, 
N, gurney) Calman (1927, p, 400, text fig. 101; female only, Gulf of Snez) 
is very like sheardi but ts distinguished by the long rostral siphons, the different 
proportions of the nropods, ete.

Ovigerous female. Integument of back and sides with numerous small, glassy, 
distally dilated eranules, closely beset, on the carapace; with sparse hairy clothing. 
Carapace more than one-third of total length; its greatest width is much greater 
than its depth and more than three-fourths its length ; seen from above it is widest 
neross the branchial regions whieh are much inflated, with a distinct median guft- 
fer het ween: there is a decided but smaller tnmidity on each side anteriorly and 
astill emaller dorsal pair of low bosses behind the eyes ; posteriorly there is a rounded 
median elevation, with its hinder end rather aeute and backwardly produced ; 
seer from the side these tnmidities result in a very uneven dorsal onfline and 
there is a decided anele at the base of the pseudorostrum, Antero-lateral margin 
deeply concave and antero-lateral angle bifid, being produced as an acute tooth. 
above which is a smaller tooth. Pseudorostral lobes gaping above and below; seen 
from the side they are subtruncate in front and coarsely serrate. 
Pleural parts and a narrow strip of first pedigerous somite exposed ; the 
dorsum nf the second somite is somewhat elevated and capped with conspicuous 
tubercles: the fourth somite has a dorsal timidity, divided by a longitudinal firr- 
row and topped with large tubercles; the pleural parts are rounded and eonsider- 
ably expanded, the third somite being asx wide as the carapace. 
First pleon somite with dorsal prominence as on last pedigerous; fifth dis- 
tinetly longer than any of the others, less than half as long again as wide, slightly 
swollen laterally jnst behind middle of length, and with a pair of eonieal dorsal 
lihercles at hinder marem, larger than the general surface tubercles; telsoni« 
somite as wide as lone, rounded posteriorly and broadest in distal half. 
Third joint of peduncle of first anteyna a little shorter than second and half 
as long as first. 
Third maxilliped with no exopod ; carpus and propodus equal in length, 
First peraeopod with propodus a little longer than carpns and almost twice as 
jong as dacty lng. 
Second peravopod two-thirds as long as first; basis as long as rest of limb, 
carpus longer than jachium and merns together, and as long as propodus and dac- 
lylns together, , 
Carpus of fifth peraeopod shorter than propodus, which is harely longer than 
daetylns, 
Pedunele of uropod Fully three-fourths as long as telsonie somite and little 
more than one-thivd as long as endopod, exelusive of its distal spine; exepod lens
