De til tie falske Fodder hos Hannen fsestede JEg er 
forholdsvis bctydelig rnindre og talrigere end lies foregaaende 
SIsegt og danner 2 afrundede Masser, liver omgiven af en 
fselles Mem bran. 
Dyrets Farve er i levende Tilstancl gulagtig, hos seldre 
Individer usesten gulbrun. Men ofte er Legemet saa tset 
besat med iremmede, til de talrige pigfonnige Fortsatser 
heftende Dele, at baade Legemets Form og Farve er van- 
skelig at observere. 
Forekomst. Jeg liar taget denue Art paa Here Ste- 
der af vor Vestkyst og nordlig lige til Vadso. Den synes 
alene at forekomme paa forholdsvis grundt Vand, fra 6 20 
Favne, mellcm Alger og Idydroider. 
Udbredning. Aden synes idethele at maatte betragtes 
som en udprseget nordlig Form. Foruden ved Norge erden 
nemlig af K rover noteret fra Gronland, af Wilson fra Nord- 
amerikas Gstkyst, af Jarzynsky fra den murmanske Kyst 
og af Dr. Hansen fra Novaja Zemljas Sydvestkyst. Good- 
sir’s Exemplarer var fra Ivysten af Skotland.

Artseharacter. Legemet forholdsvis mindre under- 
ssetsigt end hos P. circulaxis, med Sidefortsatserne videre 
skilte og piggede i Enden. Rygsiden af Kroppen glat, uden 
pigfonnige Fortsatser. Hovedsegmentet noget kengere end

Pandcdelen stserkt fortykket og oventil ved Enden bevaebnet 
med korte Torner. Halesegmentet noget opadrottet, kortere 
end hos P. circularis. Gieknuden sferdeles lav, tilrundet. 
Snabelen stserkt nedadrettet, af samme Beskaffenhed som 
hos foregaaende Art. Saxlemmerne hos fuldvoxne Individer 
meget store, Skaftet cylindriskt med Here tornformige Fort- 
satser oventil, Ilaanden lsengere end Skaftet, nedadrettet, 
successivt udvidet mod Enden, Fingrenc meget korte, stserkt 
indadrettede, begge med et kuudeformigt Fremspring i lu- 
derkanten og sturnpt afrundet Spids. De falske Fodder hos 
Hannen lsengere end Legemet, de 4 ydre Led forsynede 
med en regelnnessig Rad af saugtakkede Torner. Gangikl- 
derne stserkt torlsengede, nsesten 4 Gauge lsengere end Le- 
gemet og bevsebnede med talrige, forholdsvis smaa, glatte 
pigfonnige Fortsatser, liver med en Borste i Spidsen : Fod- 
leddet forholdsvis smalere end hos P. circularis, med 4 
stserke Torner i det bagre Parti af Inderkanten; Endekloen 
The ova attached to the false legs in the male are, rela- 
tively, a good deal smaller and more numerous than in the 
preceding genus, and form 2 rounded masses, each enveloped 
in a common membrane. 
Colour of the animal in the living state yellowish, in 
aged specimens well-nigh yellowisli-brown. Often, however, 
the body is so densely beset with extraneous substances 
adhering to the numerous spiniform projections, that both 
the form and colour of the body are difficult to recognise. 
Occurence. 1 have taken this species in several lo- 
calities on the West Coast of this country and as far north 
as Vadso. It would seem to occur only in comparatively 
shallow water — from 6 to 20 fathoms — among Algse and 
Hydroidse. 
Distribution. The species should, it would appear, 
on the whole, be regarded as a well-marked Northern form. 
Besides from Norway, it is mentioned by Kroyer from Green- 
land, by Wilson from the east coast of North America, by 
Jarzynsky from the Murman Coast, and by Dr. Hansen from 
the south-west coast of Novaja Zemlja. Goodsir’s specimens 
were from the coast of Scotland.

Specific Character. Body relatively less thickset 
than in P. circularis, with the lateral processes farther apart, 
and spinous at the extremity. Dorsal surface of trunk smooth, 
without spiniform projections. Cephalic segment somewhat 
longer than the 3 succeeding ones taken together, with 
distinct, although short neck, frontal part much tumificated and 
armed above, at the end, with short spines. Caudal seg- 
ment directed a little upwards, shorter than in P. circu- 
laris. Oculiferous tubercle exceedingly low, rounded. Pro- 
boscis pointing strongly downwards, similar in character 
to that of preceding species. Chelifori in full-grown speci- 
mens very large, scape cylindrical with several spiniform 
projections above, hand longer than scape, directed down- 
wards, expanding gradually towards the extremity; fingers 
very short, directed greatly inwards, both with a nodular 
projection on the inner edge and an obtusely rounded 
point. False legs in male longer than the body, the 
4 outer joints furnished with a regular series of serrate 
spines. Ambulatory legs much elongated, almost 4 times as 
long as body, and armed with numerous, comparatively small 
and smooth spiniform projections, each bearing a bristle at 
the point; propodal joint relatively slenderer than in P. circu-
