sixteen-jointed ; basal joint large and furnished with three elongate, stout, 
marginal sensory filaments and several small setae ; the second, sixth, tenth, 
and last joints are each also provided with a sensory filament, but smaller 
than those of the basal joint. The proportional length of the joints arc 
very nearly as shown by the annexed formula

Posterior antennne three-jointed, the middle joint elongate with two small 
Betas on the exterior margin, and the last joint with a number of apical 
setae. Secondary branch large, five-jointed, but shorter than the primary 
branch, the third and fourth joints very small. Mandibles small, consist- 
ing of a broad biting part, and a two-branched palp — one of the branches 
being two-, the other three-jointed. Anterior foot-jaw small, four-jointed, 
with several marginal setiferous processes. The basal joint of the posterior 
foot jaw elongate, the lower distal angle produced, with a blunt tooth-like 
process ; second joint also elongate, slender ; the last four joints small and 
setiferous. The outer branch of the first pair of swimming feet three- 
jointed, each joint armed with a stout spine at the outer distal angle, the 
inner branch one-jointed and rather longer than the first joint of the outer 
branch. The outer branch of the second pair is also three-jointed. Each 
of the first and second joints bear one, and the last joint four, stout 
spines of variable length, that of the second joint and the terminal spine 
of the last joint being larger than the others * the inner branch is two- 
jointed and shorter than the outer one, and the first joint is rather smaller 
than the second. The third and fourth pairs have both branches three- 
jointed. A stout and nearly straight spine — longer than the inner branch — 
springs from the inner distal angle of the first basal joint of the third 
pair, otherwise the third and fourth pairs are similar. The fifth pair in 
the female is one-branched, two-jointed, the first joint short and somewhat 
dilated ; the extremity of the second is produced into two elongate spini- 
form processes (these are not spines articulated to the end of the joint but 
are prolongations of it), the inner one much longer than the other; there 
is also a subapical spine exterior to the two processes and shorter than 
either. Fifth pair in the male also one-branched, four-jointed, and elongate ; 
that of the left (?) very slender. The first joint of the right (X) foot is 
short and dilated, the second and third long, the last very small and 
furnished with a marginal hooklet and a subapical digitiform process. 
Caudal stylets short, each bearing four long, plumose, terminal seta3, the 
two middle ones being stout and spiniform. Spermatophore elongate, 
narrow, curved, and showing under the microscope a beautifully reti- 
culated structure (fig. 29). 
• Habitat.— Off. St Monans, Firth of Forth. Several specimens were 
obtained. 
Pseudocyclopia minor, n. sp. (provisional name). (PI. VIII. figs. 1-10). 
Length, exclusive of caudal setae, '43 mm. Cephalothorax robust, four- 
jointed, first segment large, more than twice the combined lengths of the 
other three. Anterior antennae short, setiferous, seventeen-jointed, the 
basal joint large, provided with a hook-like spine on the outer margin and 
near the middle of the joint, and with a sensory filament at the outer 
distal angle ; the fourth, seventh, ninth, and thirteenth joints are also each 
furnished with a small sense-organ. The proportional length of the joints 
are very nearly as shown in the annexed formula
