184 NATURAL HISTORY. 



Common Spiny Lobster. Palmwus vulgaris. Bell, 213. 



A fine specimen was forwarded to me by the Rev. N. Bond, 

 which had been taken in Worbarrow Bay, in May, 

 1856. It is the only one I can hear of being taken on 

 this coast. Local name, "Cray fish," or "Jersey 

 Lobster." 



Three Spined Shrimp. Crangon spinosus. Bell, 265. 

 I have lately taken this in Swanage Bay. 



„ „ „ Nika . . . ? 



A few weeks ago whilst dredging, I took two specimens 

 of a Crustacean, which I was unable to refer to any of 

 the species described by Bell ; I sent them to Mr. 

 Thompson, who thinks they are an undescribed 

 species of Nika. 



„ „ „ Athanas nitescens. Bell, 281. 



One specimen in the keer dredge in Swanage Bay, 

 April, 1857.
