Femur pedum percei primi paris articulos quattuor sequentes eonjunctos longitudine aaquaus. Pedes quinti paris quam peraeon et pleon con- juncta longiores, pedibus septimi paris plus quam duplo longiores; femur metacarpo baud longius. Ramus externus pedum uri ultimi paris latitudine pedunculi plus quam duplo longior. The head is longer than the first four peraeonal segments together, deeper than long. The first and second pergonal segments are coalesced. The femur of the first pair of peraio- poda is as long as the four following segments together. The fifth pair are longer than the peraeon and pleon together, more than twice as long as the seventh pair; the femur is scarcely longer than the metacarpus. The outer ramus of the last pair of uropoda is more than twice as long as the breadth of the peduncle. Colour. Yellowish, pellucid. Length. 90 mm. (Guerin's specim.) to c:a 110 mm. (Spec. typ. Banksianum) 45—104 mm. (Chal- lenger spec). Hab. The temperate and tropical regions of the Atlantic (J. C Fabricius; Chall. Ex.), the (Afri- can) Arctarctic region (J. D.
