Forholcl til Breden og af triangufer Form, med en enkelt 
stark Torn i Inderkanten. Fodleddet er forlioldsvis ken- 
gere og smalere end lios C. mcilleolcdu saint mindre kium-

Lrengde tiltagende Torner, hvorpaa folger en Rad af meget 
mindre saadanne. Endekloen er stserkt forlsenget, naesten 
af Fodleddets Lsengde, sammentrykt, leformig, med Inder- 
kanten tilskjserpet. 
Af de indsamlede Exemplarer var et Par mgbserende. 
iEggene er (se Fig. 2 a) forlioldsvis smaa og sammenkittede 
til en rundagtig Masse, der omgiver 4de Led af enhver af 
de falske Fodder. 
Dyrets Farve er i levende Tilstaud ensformig hvid- 
agtig, med gjennemskinnende gul Tarm og T armbli nd saekke . 
Forekomst. Jeg bar taget denne charactoristiske 
Art paa 2 Punkter ved vor Kyst, nemlig ved Lofoten og 
vod SelsPvig i Nordland. Paa begge Steder forekom den 
enkeltvis paa cirka 100 — 120 F. D., Lerbund.

species very small, although long in proportion to 
breadth, and triangular in form, with a single strong 
spine on the inner edge. The propodal joint is relatively 
longer and slenderer than in C. malleolata , and also less cui \ ed. 
It has on the inner edge, at the base, 5 strong spines 
increasing in length, outwards, to which succeed a seiies 
of very small ones. The terminal claw is exceedingly elon- 
gate, attaining well-nigh the length of the propodal joint, 
compressed, falciform, with the inner edge sharpened. 
Of the specimens collected a, lew were ovigerous. 
The eggs (see fig. 2 a) are comparatively small and glued 
I together in a spherical mass, enveloping the 4th joint ot 
|! each of the false legs. 
The colour of the animal, in the live state, is uni- 
formly whitish, with yellowish intestine and intestinal creca 
shining through. 
Occurrence. I have taken this characteristic species 
in 2 localities on our coast, viz. at Lofoten and at Selsovig 
in Nordland. In both places it occured sparingly, at a 
depth of about 100—120 fathoms; clay bottom.

Specific Character. Body thickset, with the lateral 
processes crowded together. Cephalic segment considerably 
shorter than the following ones taken together, neck very 
short, frontal part less prominently expanded. Ocuhferous 
tubercle exceedingly low. evenly rounded, with comparatively 
small and widely separated lenses. Proboscis measuring 
well-nigh the length of the cephalic segment. Chelifori rela- 
tively less robust than in the typical species ; hand not very 
tumid and somewhat irregular in form ; lingers longer than 
palm, the mobile one smooth, the immobile with an only 
slightly developed lamelliform process. Below the insertion 
of the chelifori, on either side, a small protuberance 
the rudiment of palpi. The articulating knots of the false 
legs entirely occupy the interspace between the frontal 
and the pediferous part of the cephalic segment. The lateral 
spines on the 4 outer joints of these limbs very strong, 
broadly lanceolate, with indistinct crenulated edges. Am- 
bulatory legs densely beset. ' with exceedingly short hairs, 
well-nigh 4 times longer than body, but considerably 
shorter than in C. longicollis; 2nd coxal joint compara- 
tively short; femoral joint very elongate, attaining almost 
3 times the length of coxal part, and longer than 1st tibial 
joint ; tarsal joint relatively larger than in both the other spe- 
cies; propodal joint, on the contrary, shorter, tapering to- 
wards the extremity, and armed with 4—5 largish spines on
