Roddel er fsestet eu uregelmsessig oval, borstelos Plade af 
en eiendommelig spongios Structur, der forestiller Epignathen. 
2det Par Kjaevefodder (Pig. 11) er forlioldsvis smaa 
og svage. De bestaar af en 5-leddet indadboiet Stamme 
og en til Ydersiden af samme ved Basis faestet smal fortil- 
rettet Exognath. Stammens naestsidste Led er sserdeles 
sterkt oxeformigt ndvidet og langs den forreste Halpart af 
den -indadvendte Kant besat med lange stive Borster. Til 
den bagre Halvpart af denne Kant er fsestet det sserdeles 
korte, men brede Endeled, der ligeledes langs sin indre 
Kant er toet besat med korte tornformige Borster. Exog- 
nathen er meget ufuldkommet udviklet og viser ikke nogen 
tydelig Adskillelse i Basaldel og Eudesmert. Af Epignath 
bar jeg ikke fundet det mindste Spor. 
3die Par Kjsevefsnlder (Eig. 12) er som bos andre 
Carider staerkt udviklede og fodformige, samt rsekker lortil- 
strakte najsten til Enden af 2det Par Foleres Blad. De 
bestaar af 4 paa hiuanden folgende Afsnit eller Segmenter, 
hvoraf det Iste or ganske kort og egentlig sammensat af 2 
Led. 2 det Segment er staerkt forlamget, noget vredent og 
ved Enden i den indre Kant forsynet med et kort tandfor- 
migt Fremspring. 3die Segment er ganske kort og simpelt 
cvlindriskt. Sidste Segment er over 3 Gauge saa langt, 
staerkt sammentrykt, paa Midten udvidet og i Enden meget 
skraat afskaaret samt bevaibnet med en Rad af circa 8 
korte. men stank e brunligt farvede Torner. Ved Basis er 
dette Kjaevefodpar forsynet med en ganske kort og rudi- 
mentair Exognatb; derimod synes heller ikke her nogen 
Epignath at vsere tilstede. 
Iste Fodpar (Fig. 13) er af kort og undersmtsig Byg- 
ning og udviklet paa en lignende Maade som lios Slmgten 
Hippolyte. Haanden er lamgere og tykkere end det l'ore- 
gaaende Led og danner en tydeligt udviklet Chela, livis 
Fingre dog er betydelig kortere end selve Palmen. 
2det Fodpar (Fig. 14) er smrdeles spinkelt bygget og 
ialmindelighed slaaet ind under Forkroppen. Dot ender 
som bos Hippolyte med en meget liden, men tydeligt cheli- 
forrnt udviklet Haand, der i Enden er tret bqrstebesat. 
Det foregaaende Afsnit, den saakaldte Tarse, er staerkt for- 
lrenget og delt i 9 Led. 
De 3 bagre Fodpar (Fig. 15), der forestiller de egent- 
lige Gangfodder, viser den sredvanlige Bygning. De er alle 
staerkt forlrengede og temmelig spinkle, med 4de og 6te Led 
lrengst og indbyrdes omtrent af samme Storrelse. Ende- 
kloen er forholdsvis kort og i den bagre Kant forsynet med 
korte Torner. 
Af Gjeller Andes paa liver Side 5 (se Fig. 16), frestede 
over Roden af de 5 Fodpar. Den forreste Gjelle er sser- 
deles liden; de folgende tiltager hurtigt i Storrelse, og den 
sidste er meget betydelig storre end nogen af de ovrige og 
2 imperfectly separated articulations. To the outer side of 
the basal portion is attached an irregular ovate plate — which 
represents the epignath — without bristles, and exhibiting a 
peculiar spongy structure. 
The 2nd pair of maxillipeds (fig. 11) are compara- 
tively small and feeble. They consist of a five-jointed, in- 
wardly curving stem and a slender, anteriorly bent exognath, 
attached to the outer side of the latter, at the base. The 
penultimate joint of the stem, securiform in shape, is greatly 
dilated, and beset, along the anterior half of the inward- 
directed margin, with long, stiff bristles. To the posterior 
half of this margin is attached the exceedingly short, but 
broad, terminal articulation, which, in like manner, along 
its inner margin, is densely beset with short, spiniform bristles. 
The exognath is very imperfectly developed, and does not 
exhibit any distinct partition in the basal part and the 
terminal lash. Of an epignath, I have failed to discover 
the slightest trace. 
As in other Caridians, the 3rd pair of maxillipeds 
(fig. 12) are strongly developed, and pediform; anteriorly 
extended, they reach almost to the end of the scale of 
the 2nd pair of antennae. They consist of 4 serial divi- 
sions. or segments, of which the first is quite short and, 
strictly, composed of 2 articulations. The 2nd segment is 
very considerably prolonged, a trifle twisted, and furnished 
at the extremity, along the inner margin, with a short denti- 
form projection. The 3rd segment is quite short, and simple 
cylindrie. The terminal segment is more than three times 
as long as the 3rd, greatly compressed, dilated in the middle, 
and, at the extremity, very obliquely truncate, as also furnished 
with a row of about 8 short, but strong, dark-brown coloured 
spines. At the base, this pair of maxillipeds is provided 
with an exceedingly short and rudimentary exognath ; but 
here, too, no epignath would appear to be present. 
The 1st pair of legs (fig. 13) are of a short and thick- 
set structure, and developed as in the genus Hippolyte. 
The hand is longer and thicker than the preceding articu- 
lation. constituting a distinctly developed chela, of which, 
however, the fingers are considerably shorter than the palm. 
Tiie 2nd pair of legs (fig. 14) are exceedingly slender, 
and, as a rule, folded in under the anterior division of the 
body. As in the genus Hippolyte, they terminate with a 
very small, but distinctly cheliform hand, beset at the. 
extremity with bristles. The preceding segment, or so- 
called tarsus, is very considerably prolonged, and divided 
into 9 articulations. 
The three posterior pairs of legs (fig. 15), which 
represent the true pereiopoda, exhibit the usual structure. 
They are all of them considerably prolonged and somewhat 
slender, with the 4th and 6th joints longest, and nearly 
equal in size. The terminal claw is comparatively short, 
and furnished along the posterior margin with short spines. 
Of Franchise, there are 5 (see fig. 16) on either side, 
attached above the bases of the 5 pairs of feet. The fore- 
most branchia is exceedingly small; the succeeding branchiae 
increase rapidly in size, and the last of the series is very
