Marine isopods collected in the Philippines by the fisheries steamer Albatross in 1907-08 . e superiorelongate appendage on either sideof each segment is the lame pleu-rale of the segment, and thesedecrease in size from the first tothe fifth segment, the first beingextremely long, the fifth quite small. The inferior elongated branches are the outer branches of thepleopoda and resemble the lames pleurales. They also decrease insize from the first to the fifth segments. The inner branches of the pleopoda are five pairs of small sac-like bodies, a pair for each segmenton the ventral side of the body, in-conspicuous, forming two converginglongitudinal rows. The uropoda are a pair of elon-gated appendages attached to thesixth abdominal segment and resem-bling the lames pleurales and theouter branches of the are seven pairs of small, feeble, prehensile legs. There arefive pairs of incubatory plates which overlap in the middle of theventral side, completely inclosing the incubatory pouch. The distalsegment of the first pair is somewhat produced at the inner posterior. Fig. 3.—Scyracepon hawaiiensis. Mandible.
