The maxillula (Text-fig. 10/) is of the usual type; the truncated end of the outer lobe bears six or seven pectinate setae and the delicate inner lobe bears two strong plumose ones. Both the outer and middle lobe of the maxilla (Text-fig. 10^) bears five pectinate apical setae; the fixed inner lobe has three delicate and three strong plumose setae on its truncated extremity. The form of the cutting edges of the mandibles and the maxillipeds can be seen from Text-fig. 10 c, d and e. All the pereiopods are prehensile, the anterior four pairs are directed forwards, the posterior three pairs backwards; the first pair (second thoracic) (Text-fig. 10/) is shorter and stouter than the remaining ones, and is subchelate. The propodus is broad and bears, on its inner margin, a double row of short, closely set spines; the dactylus is also armed with a row of short spines. The rcmammg six pairs are all very similar to each other, both in form and size (Text-fig. 10 h). The second pair oi pleopods is modified in the male, the appendix masculina is long and its distal extremity (Text-fig. 10/) is hollowed out on its inner side, the edge being armed with eight or nine spines. The protopodite of the uropod is hollowed out, so that when viewed from the ventral side of the body the uropods together form a convex surface. The inner margin of the protopodite is bent
