Thysanopoda pectinata, Ortm (Fig. 12) Thysanopoda pectinata Ortmann, op. cit. p. 10, Pl. I. fig. 4. Locality. — Stat. 1639, 2 spécimens (one large, the other less than half-grown). Remarks. — Adult spécimens measure about 35 to 44™ in length. To Ortmann's description some notes must be added. The front part of the upper side of carapace is rather similar to that in T. vulgaris, but the keel is higher at the dorsal organ, the shallow sublinear impressions are somewhat shorter, the front end is not so obtuse as in T. vul- garis, each half of its margin being slight- ly convex, while the tip terminâtes in a minute tooth directed obliquely upwards and forwards. Eyes rather small, brown. The basai joint of the antennular peduncle is at the upper inner side produced into a lobe which, seen from the side (fig. 12), ter- minâtes in a small short triangular acute process which is shorter than deep, when the insertion of the most distal one of the coupling setœ is considered the base of the process. The lower oblique margin of this lobe on the inner side of the antennula is furnished with a number of stiff short setae projecting downwards and forwards, and each of them termi- nâtes in a hook; thèse setae on the left antennula are cou- pied together with those of the right antennula, with the resuit.
