with the last; it is a rare form, and has not hitherto been observed on the 
south side of the Forth. Laophonte denticornis differs from ZL. serrata, 
Claus, in having the outer branches of the first thoracic feet three- 
jointed, and in the different form of the fifth feet in both the male and 
female; the female also wants the posterior dorsal spine which is 
characteristic of the female of ZL. serrata. Laophonte hispida and 
thoracica were also obtained in this Musselburgh gathering.

This species, which is not difficult to identify, even without dissection, 
by the peculiar form of the fifth thoracic feet in the female, was 
moderately frequent in the gathering from the old quarry at Granton in 
which Stephos scottt was obtained.

Description of the Female.—Body elongated, narrow, cylindrical ; all 
the segments distinct except the first and second of the abdomen, which 
are slightly coalescent. The first three segments of the abdomen have 
their lateral angles produced into small spiniform processes. Rostrum 
short and broadly triangular. Caudal joints narrow and elongated and 
equal to nearly one and a half times the length of the last abdominal 
segment (fig. 20). 
The antennules are short and stout and composed of five (or six) joints ; 
the end joint is narrower and rather longer than the others, while the 
penultimate one is very small; the last four joints are also all setifercus, 
as shown by the drawing (fig. 21). 
Antenne two-jointed and of moderate length; the end joint is pro- 
vided with spiniform, marginal and terminal, sete; a few of the terminal 
sete are elongated, but the others are moderately short. The secondary 
branches of the antennee are rudimentary, and are represented by a single 
short hair as in Cletodes limicola, G. 8. Brady (fig. 23). 
The mandibles are stout, elongated, sub-cytindrical, and armed with a 
few stout apical teeth. The palp is composed of a single one-jointed 
branch, and is provided with several plumose sete (fig. 24). 
The second maxillipeds are composed cf two moderately slender joints, 
and the terminal claw is also slender and elongated (fig. 25). 
The first pair of thoracic feet (fig. 26) resemble in their structure and 
armature the first pair in Cletodes limicola ; both branches are short, but 
the three-jointed outer branches are rather longer than the two-jointed 
inner ones. In the inner branches the end joint is narrower and about 
one and a half times longer than the other. Moreover, the seta on the 
outer angle as well as the one on the inner angle of the second basal joint 
are both elongated, the inner one being also plumose. In the second pair 
(fig. 27) the outer branches are elongated and slender, but the inner two- 
jointed branches are short; the second joint of the inner branches is 
narrow, and fully twice as long as the first joint; two very long hairs 
spring from its truncate apex, but otherwise it is unarmed ; the outer 
branches are provided with long slender spines on the exterior distal 
angles of all the three joints; there is also a single slender seta on the
