agtige Integumenter sig forsynede med talrige smaa ellips- 
oidiske Legemer (se Fig. 2 d). 
0ieknuden har Formen af et hoit, koniskt tilspidset 
og lidt foroverboiet Fremspring (se Fig. 2 c), der, som 
hos foregaaende Art, mangier ethvert Spor af Pigment 
eller Synselementer. 
Snabelen (se Fig. 2 a, 2 b, 2 c) er vel saa lang soni 
den ovrige Del af Legemet, naar Halesegmentet fraregnes, 
og lige fortilstrakt, noiagtig i Kroppens Axe. Den er af 
smal cylindrisk Form, neppe bredere end Ki’oppen, og har 
paa Midten en svag men tydelig Opsvulmning. Spidson 
er noget skraat afstumpet, med den 0vre Lmbedel skydende 
noget udover de 2 0 vrige (se Fig. 2 b). Selve Munclaab- 
ningen bar et lignende Udseende som hos foregaaende Art. 
Af Saxlemrner var hos ingen af de indsamlede Exem- 
plarer nogetsomhelst Spor at opdage. Det maa imidlertid 
her anmserkes, at Hoek hos 3 af de 8 under Triton’s 
Expedition indsamlede Exemplarer fandt tydeligt udviklede 
og temmelig staerkt forlamgede, skjondt overordentlig tynde 
Saxlemrner, og at efter samme Forsker disse Lemmer ogsaa 
var tilstede hos et Exemplar af den Inserstaaende Art, C. 
gracilis. Rimeligvis har ingen af disse saaledes udrustede 
Exemplarer vseret fuldt udviklede. Det er imidlertid hoist 
mmrkvserdigt, at disse Lemmer, der er faelles for alle Pyc- 
nogonideer i Larvelivet, her bibeholdes og udvikles videre 
lige til Dyret paa' det nmrmeste er udvoxot, for saa ganske 
at forsvinde. Hvorvidt dette gjselder blot de 2 her neevnte 
Arter eller samtlige Arter af Slaegten, er endnu ikke til- 
strsekkelig oplyst. 
Folerne (se Fig. 2. a, 2 b, 2 c) er i alt vsesentligt 
af en lignende Beskaffenhed som hos foregaaende Art og, 
lige udstrakte, nsesten 1 / 2 Gang kengere end Snabelen. 
Leddenes indbyrdes Lmngdeforhold stem me r ogsaa idethele 
temmelig vel overens med samme hos bin Art, naar und- 
tages de 3 sidste Led. Af disse er nemlig (se Fig. 2 e) 
det lste Led ualmindelig kort, nsesten skaalformigt, og 
skraat afskaaret i Enden, dannende nedad en afrundet 
fremspringende Lap, medens de 2 Ovrige er af ssedvanlig 
Form og indbyrdes nsesten af ens Storrelse, a eller det 
sidste lidt kengere og smalere end nsestsidste. 
De falske Fodder (se Fig. 2 a) er spinkle og for- 
lsengede, lige udstrakte betydelig Isengere end det hele 
Legeme, og stemmer idethele i sin Bygning temmelig noie 
overens med samme hos foregaaende Art. 4de Led er 
dog her forholdsvis noget storre og neppe kortere end 5te. 
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 2) udmserker sig ligeledes ved 
sin overordentlig spinkle og forlaengede Form, idet de, lige 
udstrakte, er mere end 3 Gauge kengere end Legemet. I 
Henseende til det indbyrdes Laengdefo rh old af Leddene er 
der imidlertid kun liden Forskjel mellem de 2 Arter, naar 
alene undtages, at de 2 sidste Led (se Fig. 2 f) er af 
ous integuments show themselves to be furnished with 
numerous small ellipsoidal bodies (see fig. 2 d). 
The ocular tubercle has the form of a high conically 
pointed prominence bent slightly forward (see fig. 2 c), 
which, as in the preceding species, is deficient in the 
slightest trace of pigment or visual elements. 
The proboscis (see fig. 2 a, 2 b, 2 c) is fully as long 
as the rest of the body, when the' caudal segment is de- 
ducted, and, directed straight forward, lies exactly in the axis 
of the trunk, It is narrow, cylindric in form, scarcely 
broader than the trunk, and at the, middle has a faint but 
distinct tumefication. The point is somewhat obliquely 
truncated, with the superior labial part projecting a little 
beyond the 2 others (see fig. 2 b). The oral aperture 
itself is similar in appearance to that of the preceding 
species. 
Of chelifori, there was not- in any of the specimens 
obtained a trace discoverable. It must be noted here, 
however, that Hoek, in 3 out of the 8 specimens collected 
during the „Triton’s“ Expedition, observed distinctly devel- 
oped and pretty greatly elongated, although extremely thin 
chelifori, and that according .to the same naturalist those 
limbs were also present in a specimen of the closely 
related species C. gracilis. Probably none of the spec- 
imens thus equipped have been fully developed. It is, 
however, highly remarkable that those limbs, which are 
common to all Pycnogonids in the larval state, are here 
maintained and further developed until the animal is 
almost fully grown, and then quite disappear. Whether 
this is the case only with the 2 species named here, or 
affects all species of the genus, is not yet sufficiently 
elucidated. 
The palpi (see figs. 2 a, 2 b, 2 c) are, in all es- 
sential respects, similar in character to those of the pre- 
ceding species and, straightly extended, almost 1 / 3 longer 
than the proboscis. The mutual longitudinal relations of 
the joints correspond, upon the whole, pretty well with 
the same in that species, with the exception of the 3 
last joints. Of these the 1st (see fig. 2 e), especially, is 
uncommonly short, almost cupuliform, and obliquely trunc- 
ated at the extremity, forming downwards a rounded pro- 
minent lobe, while the 2 others are of the usual form, and 
mutually about equal in size, or the ultimate one perhaps 
a little longer and narrower than the penultimate one, 
The false legs (see fig. 2 a) are slender and elongate, 
straightly extended considerably longer than the entire 
body, and correspond in their structure, upon the whole, 
pretty closely with the same features in the preceding 
species. The 4th joint is, however, relatively, somewhat 
larger and scarcely shorter than than the 5th. 
The ambulatory legs, (se fig. 2) distinguish themselves, 
also, by their extremely slender and elongate form, as they, 
straightly extended, are more than 3 times longer than 
the body. In regard to the mutual longitudinal relations 
of the joints, there is, however, only little divergency 
between the 2 species, with the exception, only, that the
