On Dolphin B. 1^,1 ovig. , 3 immat. $?, 8 juv. Description. General outline of peraeon in dorsal view ovate in both sexes, the ? not broader than the J. Head and segment 1 completely fused, short, strongly bent downwards. Eyes present (as in other species). Peraeon segment 2 embracing base of segment 1. Segments 3 and 4 broader than segment 2 (no specimens with these narrower, as in Chevreux and Fage's figure). On ventral surface in $ a pair of blunt inwardly directed processes on segment 5, and a pair of pointed tubercles on both segments 6 and 7; in $ a pair of tubercles on each of segments 5-7; more strongly developed than in $. Antenna 1, 1st and 2nd joints obovate, widening distally. Antenna 2 very small. Gnathopod 1, 5th joint ovate, 6th distally pectinate, unguis distinct. Gnathopod 2, 4th joint prominently projecting on inner (lower) side, apically rounded, 5th with a single strong pointed tooth on inner margin near hinge. Peraeopods 5-7, 2nd joint without projecting apical tubercle on lower surface, 3rd with anterior margin acutely produced, 4th broadly pyriform, distal angles not prominent. Branchiae single on both segments 3 and 4, short and stout, accessory appendages in c? similar to and almost as long as the branchiae themselves, single on each segment, absent in $; at the base of each branchia is a pointed process, directed outwards, in both sexes. Length: £ 6-5 mm., 9 6 mm. Remarks. Both Brandt and Liitken were inclined to
