In spite of this wide range I am unable to find any definite specific differences. If it were not for the fact that leg 2 is chelate this form. Fig. 6. Thalassinid D. I. a. Side view. St. 689. b.

It differs from all the other forms described in having more numerous species on the telson and in the slender unsegmented palp of the maxillule. Thalassinid D. II (Fig. 7) Discovery St. 1375. Rostrum 4-45 mm.; body 12-45 ™"^- Rostrum very long and narrow, with short unserrated point. Carapace with a few marginal spines. Abdomen: somite 2 with very large hollowed dorsal spine; somites 3-5 with small hollowed spines.
