A history of the British sessile-eyed Crustacea . nsverse, rounded at the anteriorangles. The mandibles are tridentate at the tips, with aslender serrated inner movable lobe, and a three-jointedpalpiform appendage. The maxillipedes or foot-jaws are CONILEKA. 303 six-jointed, flat, with the three terminal joints very broad,and gradually decreasing in size. The first pair ofmaxillae are terminated by two somewhat triangularciliated lobes; the second pair of maxillas are trilobed,the outer lobe subtriangular and armed with a row ofstrong bristles; the innermost lobe is compound, andterminated by three small appendages (fig. f). The fouranterior pairs of legs are robust, with the middle jointsproduced above into a strong angle. The three hindpairs are much more slender, and terminated by a veryminute hook. The anterior pair of pleopoda are formedof two nearly equal joints, whilst the large lateral appen-dages of the last segment of the tail have the outer edgesof the two divisions strongly notched. 304 ^GID^. uEGlD.¥,..
