us carpus which is as long as propodus; dactylus distinetly more than half as 
long as propodus, 
Second peracopod as long as first, with basis wide but somewhat shorter 
than rest of limb; dactylus shorter than carpus, with its longest terminal seta 
(wo-lhirds its length, 
Pedunele of uropod with erenulate margins and inner plumose setae not 
very long; it is two and one-fourth times as long as the telsonic somite and 
twice as long as exopod; endopod one-fifth as long again as exopod with nine 
compound spines on inner margin and three terminal spines, one short the others 
long and subequal in length; the longest of the two unequal terminal spines of 
the exopod is as long as the second joint of that ramus.

The spines of the rami of the nropoda are of the same type as those figured 
for echinala but the lateral projections are shorter. The maxillipeds are some- 
what as in echinata but otherwise the two species exhibit many obvious (iffer-

CAMPYLASPIS ASPERA 8p. Noy. 
Ovigerous female. Tatepument calcified, brittle, with coarse honeyeomb-like 
pattern, particularly distinet on carapace, 
Carapace studded with conical tubercles and with an elongate depression on 
each side, not mareined by carinae or definitely outlined by rows of tubereles; the 
antero-lateral elevation is moderately emphasized; the dorsal contour is well 
arched and forms a decided angle at the base of the ocular lobe; viewed from 
ubove the carapace is ovoid in shape, broader than deep, its greatest width three- 
fours of its length; it is one-half the total length of the animal, Antennal notch 
widely open; angle, and inferior margin bebind it, finely dentate. Psendorostral 
lobes concave in front and meeting for a distance less than the length of the oeylar 
lobe, which is a little longer than wide, has a minute incision at apex, and hears 
three ecommeal lenses (the anterior one divided) in the front half, 
Padigerons somites not at all clevated ; like the carapace each is marked with 
a fine, wavy wedian line: plevtal parts of second to fifth expanded and. seen from 
above, subacute laterally: there is a pair of dorsal tubercles on each of the third 
to fifth somites, 
Marsupinm bulging and prominent; ova 0-28 mm. in diameter, 
Pleo somites one to five each with a pair of small dorsal tubercles at hind 
margin and with a low oblique dorso-lateral ridge, which terminates posteriorly in 
a littl projection: fiffh somite with well-anarked transverse suleus ; telsoniv som: 
ite widened posteriorly, apex rather angular but not much produeed. 
Second peduneular joint of first antenna distinetly longer than third anc as 
long as the flagellum, the two joints of whieh are subequal in length, 
First maxilliped with terminal joint elongate, nearly one-fifth as long as 
penulimate seement and capped with # single seta; marginal setae of penultimate 
joint stout; ten gill lobes plus one reflexed. 
Distal joint of second maxilliped with two spines, one twice as long as the 
other; pennitimate joint with a somewhat bent outer spine (which reaches level of 
tip of the shorter distal spine) and with an outer tooth and slender seta. 
Third maxilliped elongate, with basis fully as long as rest of limb; merys hwice 
as long as wide, rather longer than carpus and propodns together, and with a pra- 
minent subdistal tooth fas well as couple of smaller teeth) on onter margin, and
