MACRURA. SCIIMITT. 353 



Through the Australian Museum I received for 

 examination a paratype 72 mm. long, said to be of about 

 the same size as the female holotype, 41 and another smaller 

 paratype 45 mm. long. Type locality Darnley Island, 

 Torres Strait. The carapace and rostrum of the larger 

 paratype measure 28-5 mm. as compared with 31 mm. 

 for the holotype. The rostrum alone is 9-5 mm. long 

 and fails to reach the last segment of the antennular 

 peduncle. Above, it is armed with eight teeth in addition 

 to the epigastric spine, as is also the 6-3 mm. rostrum 

 of the smaller specimen. The post-rostral carina is 

 distinct practically to the posterior margin. The third 

 maxillipeds reach to a point a little in advance of the 

 middle of the antenna! scale. The fifth legs are wanting 

 in both specimens, and the telson of each appears to 

 have two pairs of tiny marginal spimiles in advance of 

 the subtermiual pair (see footnote 40 ).

41 The late A. R. McCulloch, of the Australian Museum, examined 

 Haswell's specimens of "Penceus granulosus" and selected a specimen 

 with 10 teeth above the rostrum, which he regarded as the holotype 

 of the species.- F. A. MCNEILL.
