that species, as was suggested by Ortmann, 3 but are identical 

 with the above. The late Mr. F. E. Grant, when in England, 

 compared Victorian specimens of L. sereims with the "Challenger" 

 specimens and found them to be identical. 



Hub. — I have collected this species in rock-pools at Hat Island, 

 Port Curtis, and around Sydney, and there are specimens in the 

 Australian Museum collected by Mr. J. Gabriel in Port Phillip, 

 Victoria. 



Leander litoreus, sp. nov. 



(Fig. 16.) 



Obs. — Compared minutely with L. serenus, this species appears 

 to be distinguished by the following important characters alone. 



The two external flagella of the antennules are united only at 

 their bases, six or seven joints being joined, while twenty-seven 

 or more form the free portion of the thickened flagellum, which 

 is distinctly serrated on its outer edge. 



Fig. 16. 



The second pair of legs are much shorter, reaching in my largest 

 specimen only a trifle beyond the thickened an tennular flagellum. 

 The carpus is much thickened distally and is shorter than the 

 palm, and does not extend to the tip of the scaphocerite. The 

 palm is thick and swollen, and is not much longer than the 

 fingers, 



Four specimens from rock-pools on the coast near Sydney. 

 Largest specimen measuring 39 mm. from the tip of the rostrum 

 to that of the telson.
