1. Paracypris polita. G. O. Sars.—Seen from the side, the ca- 
pace is elongated, siliquose or sub-triangalar; greatest height at 
the anterior third, and equal to more than % of the length. An- 
terior extremity evenly rounded, posterior much attenuated, 
pointed. Dorsal margin arched in front, and sloping steeply 
behind ; ventral concave along the greater portion of its length. 
Seen from above, it is much compressed, oval, not quite 4 times 
as long as broad, greatest breadth in front of the middle; ex- 
tremities obtusely pointed. End view oval. Shell smooth and 
polished, almost destitute of hairs ; colour yellowish white. The 
sete of the anterior antenne are nearly equal in length to the 
6 preceding joints, sixth joint being longer than the rest. The 
ante-penultimate joint has at its inner apical angle 2 sete ; and 
from its basal portion springs a fine tubular filament, which ends 
in a pyriform sacorvesicle. The post-abdominal rami are gently 
curved, the exterior claw somewhat longer than the other. Male 
unknown. Length 1-22nd in., height 1-55th in. 
(The specimens found in Wellington harbour are only doubt- 
fully referred to this species). 
(A common North European species. Also found fossil in 
glacial deposits of Norway and Scotland). 
Genus Phlyctenophora, (G. S. Brady). 
Carapace elongated, not higher in front than behind ; shell 
smooth, and usually more or less ornamented with dark coloured 
blotches or striz. Anterior antennz 7-jointed, beset with mo- 
derately long and slender sete ; posterior 4-jointed, stout, ending 
in 4 strong curved claws ; second joint bearing a stalked hyaline 
vesicle and a brush of short setae. Mandible strongly toothed at 
the apex, bearing a 4-jointed palp, which is destitute of a bran- 
chial appendage (?). First pair of maxilla divided into 4 linear 
setiferous segments, and having at the base a branchial plate 
bearing 6 sete ; second pair 4-jointed (?), flexuous, provided with 
a moveable hinge between the second and third joints ; terminal 
claw long, reflexed against the limb. Postabdominal rami well de- 
veloped, bearing two strong terminal claws. Spermatic gland of 
the male cylindrical, beset with a spiral of delicate setose filaments, 
1. Phlyctenophora Zealandica, G. S. Brady.—Carapace elon- 
gated, compressed ; seen from the side, subsiliquose ; greatest 
height in the middle, equal to less than ¥% the length; anterior 
extremity well rounded, posterior narrowed, and ending in a 
subacute angle near the ventral surface; dorsal margin well 
arched, and continued in an unbroken curve to the infero-posteal 
angle, ventral margin slightly sinuated in the middle ; seen from 
above, the outline is ovate, widest in the middle, and tapering 
only slightly to the broadly-rounded extremities ; width and 
height about equal ; end view sub-circular, rather narrowed and 
angular below. Shell-surface smooth, whitish, marked with a 
few irregular strigz of a blackish hue, and on the ventral surface 
with a broad longitudinal and transversely striated squamous 
band. Length, 1-26th in.
