A history of the British sessile-eyed Crustacea . h, the second having the inner apical angles pro-duced, the remainder beiuf? armed with bristles on the EURYDICE. 309 inner edge ; the outer maxillas (e) are apparently formedof three closely soldered joints, indicated by bristles, onthe inner edge, the second and third joints being pro-duced on the inner margin. The inner maxillse arebilobed, the outer division broader than that of theouter pair, and armed with stronger bristles, the innerdivision minute and armed with bristles set on at rightangles. The four anterior pairs of legs are rather shorter thanthe three posterior ones, the former being armed withshort spines on the lower edge, whilst the hind ones aresmooth, having the outer angles of the middle jointsconically produced and setose. The uropoda, or lateralappendages of the tail, arise on each side from a broadbasal joint, the inner division being larger than theouter and obliquely truncate at its extremity ; bothhavine: ciliated margins. 310 MGIDM.
