Fig. 51- $—Cephalothorax somewhat shorter than trunk, carapace of head dis- tinct ; a pair of uniramous posterior processes ventral to the ovisacs, a pair of biramous processes dorso-laterally dorsal to the ovisacs. Second maxillae completely fused, or fused only at base and tips, in both cases enclosed in a common membranous sheath; or separate, fused only at base and at tips, and each appendage enclosed in its own sheath; bulla small. The membranous sheath encloses also the whole body and processes, each biramous process being enclosed in its own sheath. Ovisacs short, ovoid, not enclosed in sheaths. Cephalo- thorax to junction with 2nd maxillae 2 mm., 2nd maxillae 2 mm., trunk 2-5 mm., ovisac 1 mm. $—Brachiella-type (Wilson, 1915, Proc. Nat. Mus., xlvii, pi. 25 G). 1-3 mm. Locality. Table Bay, on Kingklip (Genypterus capensis). () Remarks. Thanks to Dr. Harding for sending photographs of Kroyer's figures of 'Anchorella' appendiculosa and appendiculata, I am able to say that the present specimens do not appear to be referable to either of these species. No specific importance is attached to the Fig. 51. parasites beings enclosed in a membranous Brachiella supplicans n. sp. 3 and . $ (one of the ovisacs not com- sheath; it may be due to the method 01 pletely drawn)..
