CAPRELLID.E. 



sent us several specimens that resemble the male of this 

 small variety. These vary in size, and we should not 

 hesitate to pronounce them to be the young of C. linearis ; 

 amongst them there is not a single specimen furnished 

 with the incubatory pouch, although some are larger 

 than those taken by Mr. Gosse.
