The eyes are in every sense rudimentary, since, in lieu 
of those organs, occurs within the covering of the head, on 
either side, merely an irregular aggregation of white pigment. 
The antennae are exceedingly slender and elongate, 
and furnished on the posterior margin with dense and 
delicate bristles, which, however, do not attain any con- 
siderable length. The 1st pair were more or less defective 
in the specimens obtained, but would appear, as regards 
length, to bear the same proportion to the 2nd pair as in 
the other known species. Their 1st joint is about as long 
as the head, and rather tumid. The flagellum (fig. 2 «) 
consisted in one of the specimens taken, a young male, of 
six articulations, and the accessory flagellum — relatively 
rather elongate — was likewise six-jointed. The 2nd pair ot 
antennae slightly exceed in the specimen here represented — 
a fully developed male — the whole body in length, and 
their flagellum is considerably longer than the last articula- 
tion of the peduncle, and five-jointed. 
The 1st pair of legs exhibit the usual structure. 
The hand is comparatively very small, oval, and scarcely 
half as large as the preceding joint (carpus). 
The 2nd pair of legs are, as usual, in the males of 
this genus, very powerfully developed, and well-nigh perfectly 
naked, or bristleless. The basal joint occurs at the origin 
very instructed, but is somewhat dilated at the extremity 
and filled out with powerful muscles. The hand is very 
laro-e and swollen, oblongo-oval, and characterized by a 
short, peculiar prolation at the base of the lower margin, 
directed straight downward; anteriorly, the lower margin 
runs out as a sharp, projecting corner. The terminal claw is 
powerfully developed, and exhibits a prominent falciform curve. 
The 2 succeeding pairs of legs have the basal joint 
quite slender, well-nigh linear, the outer 3 joints about 
equal in length, and but sparingly furnished with bristles 
along the posterior margin. 
The 3 hindmost pairs of legs are greatly produced, 
and exceedingly slender. The last pair had in both speci- 
mens obtained unfortunately been broken off; the 2 others 
are nearabout equal in length, with the 3rd joint produced 
and slender, almost twice as long as the 2 last taken together. 
The abdominal appendages do not exhibit anything 
characteristic in structure. „ 
The body is whitish, translucent, without a trace ot 
pigmentation.

Occurrence. — Two examples of this characteristic 
species — a fully developed male and a very young female 
__ were obtained on the Expedition, the one north of 
Yesteraalen (Stat. 1901, the other between Beeren Eiland 
and Finmark (Stat. 286); depth ranging from 447 to 870 
fathoms. Both Stations lay in the cold area.
