Third thoracic limb of the male (pi. XXI, fig. 4) with the side-plate furnished with 
about a dozen small setae on its lower margin and a prominent lobe on its hinder 
margin ; propodus broadl}^ oval, the anterior margin convex and without setae except 
for two small ones at the base of the finger, posterior margin very convex, about half 
of it occupied by the palm which consists of a shallow groove flanked on each side 
by a row of 17-18 spinules and ending in a small pocket into which the nail fits ; nail 
long and curved with a number of minute setae on its inner margin ; setae on the 
limb very small and few. 
Second thoracic limb of the female (pi. XXI, fig. i) of the usual form, propodus 
slightly shorter than the carpus, its inner margin furnished with strong spiniform 
setae and with just a suggestion of a palm at its distal end. 
Third thoracic limb of the female (pi. XXI, fig. 2) with the second joint wider 
proximally than distally, merus with a small pellucid lobe, carpus slightly longer than 
the propodus, each of these joints with the usual rounded lobes, that on the propo- 
dus extending well beyond the short oblique palm ; setae on the limb few and small. 
Sixth to eighth thoracic limbs (pi. XXI, fig. 5) having the front margins of the 
second joints armed with 8-10 spinules and the hind margins of the same joints with 
about 12 small serrulations, spinules between the teeth. 
First uropods (pi. XXI, fig. 7) with the peduncle longer than the rami ; peduncle 
with four or five spines on each of the upper and outer margins ; inner branch with 
four spines on the upper margin and two large and two small spines at the apex ; 
outer branch with no spines on its margins and two large spines at its apex. 
Second uropods (pi. XXI, fig. 8) peduncle about equal to the branches; peduncle 
with two or three spines on each of the upper and outer margins ; inner branch with 
two spines on the upper margin and three at the apex; outer branch with two spines 
on the upper margin and two strong spines and a small spinule at the apex. 
Third uropods (pi. XXI, fig. 9) with the proximal joint bigger and broader than 
the distal joint, with two spines on the upper distal corner ; distal joint with two small 
spines on the upper margin and one large and two or three small spines at the apex. 
Telson (pi. XXI, fig. 10) slightly notched with three or four spines of various sizes 
at the apex of each lobe and two strong spines on each lateral margin. 
Length of adult males and females, 9 mm. 
Remarks. — Four of the specimens have the pigment of the eyes imperfectly 
developed and irregularly arranged. Chilton has called attention to similar speci- 
mens of Talorchestia parvispinosa.
