. Contributions to Canadian biology and fisheries. Fisheries; Marine biology. Fig. 9.—Leimia vaga. Fig. 8.—Leimia vaga n. g. el sp. Anterior an- Mandible, tenna (Aa) and outer branch of posterior antenna (Ap Re). Shad stomach, Scotsman Bay, and two geniculate setae interspersed; the terminal spine has a flexible distal portion, giving it an intermediate character, so that it might be described as subgeniculate. The mandibular palp is simple and bipartite, the distal portion narrower than the proximal and set at a slight angle. When seen slantwise the shoulder of the wider basal portion causes a deceptive appearance of an obvious articulation, as in the figure. When mounted perfectly flat the articula- tion is not so obvious and it appears that the two parts are imperfectly di\ided. The basal portion carries a seta inside and outside, the former very strong and exserted (Figs. 8 and 9). The maxilla is of the Canthocamptiis type; its basal portion is occupied by the lobe carrying the manducatory setae; the distal portion is the palp which is devoid of branches, the obsolete outer branch being represented by a couple of setae arising close together from the front of the base of the palp; opposite to these setae, that is, from the inner side of the l)ase of the palp, there arises a small internal lobe carrying two setae; the larger, main or distal lobe of the 315.
