The anterior branch consists of three parts—a, b, and c— which are very distinct and characteristic; a is finger-shaped and is the longest, standing out well beyond the others ; the middle portion, b, is the strongest, and is protected by very Fi"-.

The structure of the posterior gonopod is clearly seen in fig. 8, which represents the inner view of the gonopods both anterior and posterior of one side. In this case the appendages have been flattened out somewhat to show the separate parts of each. The most prominent part of the posterior portion of the posterior gonopod is the hooked piece, d, which is sparsely plamous at the tip, while a noticeable feature is the flngellum, F.
