h, as between the second and third
teeth, namely about 7; inferior angle strongly and coarsely pectinated;
distance between the tips of the first and second main teeth,
considerably less than between the tips of the second tooth and of the
inferior angle; sides hirsute.
_Maxillae_ (fig. 10), with the edge not quite straight, with the whole
inferior part slightly projecting; spines very numerous, thirty or forty
pairs; those close beneath the two upper great unequal spines, form a
tuft and are rather thinner than the others, as are also those near the
inferior angle; sides hirsute.
_Outer Maxillae_, rather pointed, with the inner edge slightly concave,
continuously and thickly clothed with short spines; spines on the outer
edge long; there are also some minute, short, thinly scattered spines or
points on the sides. Bristles on all the trophi doubly serrated.
_Cirri._--The first pair is placed at a small distance from the second.
The segments in the three posterior pairs, support five pairs of very
long spines, with a row of (I believe) four small intermediate spines;
on the lateral upper edges, there are some short blunt spines; anterior
faces of the segments not protuberant; the dorsal tufts consist of thick
serrated, and of thin spines. The whole integument is hirsute with
minute pectinated scales. Two or three of the basal segments in the
sixth cirrus are confluent. _First cirrus_, anterior ramus rather
shorter and thicker than the posterior ramus; basal segments thickly
paved with serrated spines; in the posterior ramus, the six terminal
segments are not paved with bristles. _Second cirrus_ has the seven
basal segments of the anterior ramus very broad, and paved with
bristles; the eight terminal segments having the usual structure; in the
posterior ramus the three or four basal segments are similarly paved,
but to a very much less degree, and the remaining thirteen have the
usual structure. _Third cirrus_ has the six basal segments of the
anterior ramus very broad and paved, and the fourteen terminal ones of
the usual structure; in the posterior ramus, the three or four basal
segments are similarly paved, but to a very much less degree, and the
seventeen terminal ones have the usual structure. The pedicel of the
first cirrus has very few spines; those of the second and third cirrus
are thickly and irregularly clothed with spines; and those of the three
posterior pair have a double row with intermediate small spi
