Le 2 forreste Pod par er indbyrdes af ens Bygning,

He 2 folgende Fodpar er kun lidet kengere, men

Su ceessivt i Laengde bagtil, saa at det sidste Par, dor ud-

Grjellebladene, der kun er tilstede i 2 Par, paa 3die

2 Halefodder er som hos Slsegtens pvrige Arter kun

Halevedhamget er meget lidet og af triangulser h orm. 
Hannen (Fig. 6 x) er betydelig slankere end Hunnen, 
hasten at fuldkommen lineaer Form, og har de 2 midterste

is longest. The secondary flagellum is very small, and 
three-jointed. The 2nd pair of antennae have the 2 last 
joints of the peduncle slender and elongate, as on the 1 st 
pair, and the flagellum somewhat shorter than the last 
joint, as also composed of 4 articulations. 
The buccal region projects distinctly below the head. 
The several oral appendages did not admit of being closely 
examined for want of sufficient material. 
The 2 foremost pairs of legs have each a. similar struc- 
ture, and the 2nd pair is but little larger than the 1st; both 
are abundantly furnished with bristles. The hand is small 
and imperfectly snbcholiform, in shape oblongo-oval, and 
considerably shorter than the preceding joint (carpus). 
The 2 succeeding pairs of logs are but little longer, 
and much more slender, with the last joint exceedingly 
slim, linear, and the terminal claw comparatively small. 
The 3 last, pairs of legs, on the other hand, have a 
much more powerful development, though comparatively a 
slender form, and diminish successively in length posteriorly ; 
hence the last pair, issuing as they do in close proximity to 
that immediately preceding them, — from the posterior side 
of the last segment, — equal in length about the whole of 
the anterior division of the body, excluding the head, the 
basal joint of every pair is quite slender, linear, with the 
3rd articulation greatly produced. The terminal claw occurs 
powerfully developed, and faleifoim. 
The branchial lamellse — present in 2 pairs only, on 
. the 3rd and 4th segments — are very small and narrow. 
The marsupium, or ovigerous pouch, was greatly de- 
veloped in the specimen before us, forming a well-nigh 
semi-globular projection beneath the middle of the anterior 
division of the body. 
The 3 pairs of pleopoda are comparatively large, and 
down to the base wholly uncovered by the small lateral 
plates on the corresponding abdominal segments. 
Of caudal stylets, 2 pairs only are present, as in the 
other species of the genus, and of the usual structure. 
The telson is very small, and triangular in form. 
The Mah (fig. fi ®) is very much slimmer than the 
female nay almost linear in form, and has the 2 medial 
pedigerous 'segments considerably smaller, exceeding scarcely 
at all the 2 next in size. Hone of the epimera are produced 
i mucroniform processes. 
The antenna! have relatively a more powerful devel- 
nnent than in the female; and the 1st pair are specially 
istinguished by the size of the 1st joint of the peduncle 
ml by the greater length of the flagellum 
The 2nd pair of legs are most powerfully developed, 
||d V ery dissimilar from those in the female.. The hand 
exceedingly large and swollen, equal in length to all the 
ther joints ' taken together, and of an oblong-oval form, 
’t the base, it is furnished below with a strong, mucroni- 
u-m probation, directed straight downward, and juts out 
ntoriorly as a sharp, oblique, forward-projecting corner. 
fl ie lower margin, beset with long and delicate bristles, 
„ns well-nigh straight between the two prolations. The
