wrist short, and slightly produced inferiorly ; the 
hands dilated, ovate, tapering from the base to tlie 
distal extremity, the palm being continuous with the in- 
ferior margin, and fringed with long hairs, a depression 
near the centre marking the extent to which the very 
short finger reaches. The finger of this and the preced- 
ing pair has the inner margin smooth. The two suc- 
ceeding pairs of legs are small ; the last three have the 
thighs, which gradually narrow from the base to the distal 
extremity, posteriorly serrated. The last pair of caudal 
appendages are wanting in all the specimens that we have 
seen. The central tail-piece is very deeply cleft. 
Several specimens of this species have been taken by 
tbe Rev. A. M. Norman, in forty fathoms, near Whalsey 
Lighthouse, and in from two to five fathoms, in Outer 
Skerries Harbour, Shetland.
