Snabelen (se Pig. 3 a, 3 b) er vel udviklet, dog ad- 
skilligt kortere end Hovedsegmentet, og af den ssedvanlige 
cylindriske Form. 
Saxlemraerne (ibid.) er forholdsvis spinkelt byggcde, 
med Skaftet smalt cylindriskt og omtrent af Snabelens 
Lrnngde. Haanden (Pig. 3 d) er noget kortere end Skaftet 
og ligeledes forholdsvis spinkel, ganske svagt udvidet paa 
Midten og besat med korte Haar. Fingrene er staerkt for- 
lrengede, omtrent af Palmens Lmngde, og stserkt krummede 
i sit ydre Parti, hvorfor Spidserne krydser hinanden, naar 
Saxeu er lukket. 
Folerne (Fig. 3 e) er ligeledes ualmindelig smale og 
forhengede, med 2det og 3die Led at ens Lamgde. Ende- 
partiet er noget lsengere end 3die Led og bar naestsidste 
Led kun lidet kortere end sidste. 
De falske Fodder hos Hannen (se Fig. 3 b) er mere 
end l ji Gang lsengere end Legemet og har 4de og 5te Led 
omtrent lige lange, raedens Endedelen (Fig. 3 f) er adskil- 
ligt lsengere. Randtornerne (Fig. 3 g) er forholdsvis smaa, 
forovrigt af en lignende Bvgning som hos de foregaaende 
Arter. Ved Enderne af Leddene Andes imidlertid enkelte 
Torner af en simplere Form, paa hvilke de stserke basal e 
Tsender synes at mangle. 
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 3) er overordentlig spinkle og 
forhengede, mere end 5 Gange lsengere end Legemet og 
besatte med korte, spredte Haar. 2det Holteled er adskil- 
ligt lsengere end de 2 pvrige tilsammen, og de 3 fplgende 
Led tiltager stserkt i Laeugde, saa at 2det Lmgled nsesten 
er dobbelt saa langt som Laarleddet. Det terminale Atsnit 
(Fig. 3 h) er meget smalt og noget mere end x /a saa langt 
som 2det Laegled. Tarsalleddet er stserkt forhengct, nmsten 
dobbelt saa langt som Fodlcddet, og noget buct. Fodled- 
det er noget smalere og lige, samt i Inderkanten kun besat 
med yderst korte haarfonnige Torner; hos enkelte Exem- 
plarcr sees dog paa Midten nogle iaa (ssedvaulig 4) noget 
stserkere, tiltrykte Torner. Endekloen er forholdsvis kort, 
kun lidet mere end halvt saa lang som Fodleddet, og 
Bikloerne er meget smaa, neppe 1 /4 saa lange som Ende- 
kloen. 
De ydre HUgmasser (se Fig. 3 b) er af middel- 
maadig Storrelse, cylindrisk-kugleformige og saedvanhgvis 
fsestede omkriug 5te Led af de falske Fodder, undertiden 
dog ogsaa paa 4de. En enkelt Gang liar jeg paa hver af 
de falske Fodder fundet ikke mindre end 3 sserskilte ^Lgge- 
masser, 2 paa 4de og 1 paa 5te Led. ^Iggene er tor- 
holdsvis betydelig mindre end hos N. Sluiteri. 
Dyret er i levende Tilstand temmelig gjennemsigtigt, 
med et blegt kjodrodt Anstrog, isser ved Enden af Krops- 
segmenterne og Leddene paa Fodderne. 
Forekomst. Jeg har truffet denne Art ai og til 
langs vor hele Kyst paa 20—100 F. D. Under Nordhavs- 
Expeditionen toges 4 Exemplarer udenfor Sydspidsen af 
Spitsbergen (Stat. 330) paa 70 F. D. Desuden har jeg li 
The proboscis (see fig. 3 a, 3 b) is well developed, 
considerably shorter, however, than the cephalic segment, 
and of the usual cylindric form. 
The chelifori (ibid.) are comparatively slender in 
structure, with the scape narrow cylindric and about 
same length as the proboscis. The hand (fig. 3 d) is a 
tritie shorter than the scape and is, also comparatively 
slender, very slightly expanded in the middle, and beset 
with short hairs. The fingers are exceedingly elongate, 
well-nigh the length of the palm, and sharply curved in 
their outer part; the points therefore cross each other 
when the chela is shut. 
The palpi (fig. 3 e) are also uncommonly slender 
and elongate, with the 2nd and 3rd joints equal in length. 
The terminal part is a trifle longer than the 3rd joint 
with the penultimate joint only little shorter than the 
terminal one. 
The false legs in the male (see fig. 3 b) are more 
than half as long again as the body, and have the 4tli and 
5th joints about uniform in length, while the terminal part 
(fig. 3 f) is a good deal longer. The marginal spines 
(fig. 3 g) are comparatively small, but similar in structure, 
otherwise, to those in all the preceding species. At the 
ends of the joints there occur, however, a few spines of a 
simpler form on which the strong basal teeth are appar- 
ently awanting. 
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 3) are extremely slender 
and elongate, more than 5 times longer than the body, and 
beset with short, scattered hairs. The 2nd coxal joint is 
considerably longer than the 2 others taken together, and 
the 3 succeeding joints increase rapidly in length, so that 
the 2nd tibial joint is almost twice as long as the femoral one. 
The terminal section (fig. 3 h) is very slender and some- 
thing more than 1 of the length of the 2nd tibial joint. The 
tarsal joint is greatly elongated, nearly twice as long as 
the propodal joint, and somewhat arcuate. The propodal 
joint is a trifle slenderer, and straight, and beset along the 
inner edge with only extremely short, capilliform spines ; in 
some specimens there are seen, however, in the middle, a few 
(generally 4) somewhat stronger, adpressed spines. The 
terminal claw is comparatively short, but little more than 
half the length of the propodal joint, and the auxiliary claws 
are very small, hardly »/* the length of the terminal one. 
The outer egg-masses (see fig. 3 b) are of moderate 
size, cylindrically globular, and generally adherent round the 
5th joint of the false legs, sometimes, however, on the 4th 
one also. Once only did I find on each of the false legs 
as many as 3 separate egg-masses, 2 on the 4th and 1 on 
the 5th joint. The ova are, relatively, a good deal smaller 
than in N. Sluiteri. 
The animal is, in the living state, rather transparent, 
with a pale carnation tint, especially at the end of the 
body-segments and on the leg-joints. 
Occurrence. I have now and again met with this 
species at a depth of from 20 — 100 fathoms along the 
whole coast of Norway. On the North Atlantic Expedi- 
tion, 4 specimens were taken off the southern extremity of
