The genus Iso was established for the Japanese Iso Jlos-maris, Jord. & Starks,* which has the depth of body 5 in the length, but is veiy similar in other characters to the species here described. The occur- rence of a second species of this curious specialized genus on the coast of Natal is of interest. * Proc. Nat. Mus., vol.
