 tacea with Descriptions of New Species, No. II. 



By S. W. FULTON and F. E. GRANT.

 [Eead lOtli July, 1902.] 



The paper which we have now the honour to submit is the 

 second of a series of papers which we hope to continue dealing 

 with our Victorian decapods.^ Four of the species dealt with are 

 new to science, whilst the remaining one is of considerable 

 interest, and is new to the Victorian record. It is a fresh-water 

 form found by us occurring in Lake Colac, and so. near to kindred 

 forms that at pi'esent we are not prepared to separate it from 

 specimens with a similar habitat, which we have received from 

 New Zealand and Norfolk Lsland through the kindness of 

 Dr. Chilton, of Christchurch, and a further series from Mr. Wni. 

 Lang, of Norfolk Island. 



Of the new species three are shrimps living pn a sandy l)ottom 

 in Port Phillip and Western Port, the Australian analogues of 

 the well-known English "Crangon," the common edible shrimp of 

 Europe. The remaining new species is a form of crab dredged by 

 the late J. Bracebridge WiLson, and which we found amongst the 

 Royal Society's collection in the Biological Laboratory of the 

 University.
