 seen one specimen, has the surface ornamented with numerous 

 small circular brown spots. 



Genus Zebrida, White. 

 55. Zebrida longispina, sp. nov. ? Plate xxvii., fig 3. 



This species, of which a single specimen was dredged by the 

 Hon. William Macleay, resembles the type species of this peculiar 

 genus in the colouration and markings of the carapace, but differs 

 from it in having all the spines both on the anterior border of 

 the carapace, and on the legs much longer and all pointed at the 

 extremities. It is possible that these differences may turn out to 

 be due to difference of age, as the correspondence in the arrange- 

 ment of the brown markings on the carapace and limbs is very 

 striking.
