Tw^o specimens were col- lected at Popoff Island (Aleu- tian Islands) by Dr. W. H. Dall at low water. Tfjjje.~Cat. No. , , Popofl' Island. Another individual was found at Catalina Island, California, by Dr. J. (i. Cooper. In this specimen the sixth thoracic segment is also tuberculated. One specimen was found ])y Mr. Heath at Monterey Bay on the pink condline at low tide, and is shaded with a tlelicate pink. In this specimen, on the seventh thoracic segment and the penultimate aV)dominal segment, the tubercles on either side of the median line of tubercles are single instead of double. DeHCTvption of female.—Bod}^ oblong-ovate; color, light yellow, almost white; surface of a))domen tuberculated. Head large, much broader than long, with a wide anterior margin, broadly curving on either side of a small median point. Eyes small, and situated at the extreme post-lateral angles of the head. The tirst pair of antenna^, composed of eight articles, reach beyond the middle of the tirst thoracic segment. The second pair of antenna', composed of twelve articles, extend to the posterior angle of the tirst thoracic segment. The tirst segment of the thorax is one and a half times longer than any of the other segments, wliich are a])t)ut eiiual in length. The epimera, which are distinctly marked, and roundly pro- duc(Hl at their posterior angles, are much broad
