spicuous than the others. The fifth, sixth, and seventh have each a 

 median tubercle, and on either side of it a group of two large tubercles 

 surrounded by low areolations. 



The abdomen consists of a single segment, with a suture line on 

 either side at the base, indicating another partly coalesced segment. 

 The abdomen tapers to a narrow extremity, which posteriorly is 

 notched. 



The first pair of legs are shorter than the following six pairs, and 

 are prehensile. All the others are similar, and have the basis pro- 

 duced on the upper side in a ridge which is bilobate. 



Eight specimens of this species come from the following localities : 

 Station 5020, station 5021, station 5023, and station 5024, off the east- 

 ern coast of Saghalin Island, vicinity of Cape Patience, in Okhotsk 

 Sea, at lat. 48° 32' 45" K ; long. 145° 07' 30" E. ; lat. 48° 32' 30" N. ; 

 long. 145° 08' 45" E.; Flat Hill, N. 53° W. ; Cape Patience, S. 77° 

 W. (lat. 48° 43' 30" N. ; long. 145° 03' E.) ; Flat Hill, N. 48° W. ; 

 Cape Patience, S. 74° W. (lat. 48° 43' 10" N. ; long. 144° 59' 30" E.), 

 at a depth of 67-75 fathoms, in sand, pebbles, and green mud. 



This species is perhaps closer to Synidotea consolidates (Stimpson), 

 from Pacific Grove, than to any other species.
