Part III. — Tenth Annual Report 
Posterior antennae three-jointed, middle joint long, secondary branch five- 
jointed, shorter than the primary branch. Mouth organs as in Pseudocy- 
clojpia crassicornis. In the first pair of swimming feet the first joint of 
the outer branch is about as long as the other two together, while the 
one-jointed inner branch is longer than the first joint of the outer one. 
Each of the three joints of the outer branch is armed with a large spine at 
the outer distal angle ; both branches are furnished with several plumose 
setae. The second pair is similar to those of Pseud ocyclopia crassicornis. 
The third and fourth pairs are also similar to those of that species, but 
the spine which springs from the inner distal angle of the first basal joint 
of the third pair is curved, and is longer and more powerful, and extends 
beyond the extremity of the outer branch. The fifth pair of feet in the 
female are very small and somewhat resemble those of Pseudocyclojria 
crassicornis, but the extremity is bluntly rounded and provided with three 
spinous setae, the middle one of which is the longest. The fifth pair in 
the male form very powerful grasping organs ; the left (1) foot consists of 
two very long branches, one of which is four-jointed, and one five-jointed ; 
the basal point of the first (the four-jointed branch) is moderately short 
and dilated, the second joint is very small, the third elongate and 
geniculate, and bearing a curved spine at the inner distal angle ; the last 
joint is long and slender, with a rounded extremity ; the third and fourth 
joints of the other branch (which is rather longer than the first) are 
elongate and slender, while the last joint is very short and produced into 
a digitiform process. The right (?) foot consists of a single four-jointed 
branch, the breadth of the first two joints of which is rather greater than 
the length ; the third joint is elongate, and bears exteriorly on its lower 
half a dense fringe of plain spinous hairs, and two stout spines interiorly 
The last joint, which is very short, has three small subapical lobes. 
Abdomen in the male five-jointed, in the female four-jointed. The second 
and third joints of the female abdomen are produced posteriorly on each 
side of the median dorsal line into sharp angular processes as shown in 
the figures (fig. 9) ; the male abdomen wants the dorsal processes pos- 
sessed by that of the female. Caudal stylets short, each furnished with 
four long, plumose, terminal hairs, the two middle ones being stout and 
spiniform. 
Habitat. — Off St Monans, Firth of Forth Several specimens of this 
species were obtained 
Family Harpacticidje. 
Neobradya, no v. gen. (provisional name). 
Near Brady a, Boeck, in form and structure. Anterior antennse nine- 
or ten-jointed, scarcely if at all longer than the first body segment ; those 
of the male hinged and adapted for grasping. Posterior antenna) large, 
three-jointed secondary branch of posterior antenna?, four-jointed, the 
first joint as long as the entire length of the other three. Mandibles well 
developed, possessing a broad biting part, and a large two-branched palp, 
one of the branches of which is one- and the other four-jointed. Maxillae 
somewhat as in Longipedia. Anterior foot-jaws stout, five-jointed, the 
first joint rather longer than the second, and furnished with three digiti- 
form lobes, the three last joints small. Posterior foot-jaws not uncinate, 
resembling somewhat those of Bradya. Both branches of the first pair of 
swimming feet three-jointed and about equal inlength. The outer branches 
of the second, third, and fourth pairs three-jointed ; the inner branches 
two-jointed ; the fifth pair small foliaceous.
