202 THE FAUNA OF THE SALCOMBE ESTUAEY. 



fishery for theui, although small shrimp-trawls and shove-nets are often 

 worked for the capture of prawns {Palwmon seo-ratus). 



CraNGON tkispinosus (Hailstone). Eight specimens were taken on 

 the clean sand of the bar, with the cheese-cloth trawl. 



Athanas nitescens {IIooU. MSS.). One specimen only was taken 

 in the dredge between the Salstone and Snape's Point, 



HirpOLYTE (ViKBius) VARIANS (LeacJi). This species was generally 

 taken when using the cheese-cloth trawl on the zostera banks, especially 

 opposite the Marine Hotel, being often of a bright green colour. It 

 was also found in rock pools between Sandhill Point and South Sands 

 Bay, 



HiPPOLYTE Cranchii, Lcacli. One only was taken in the dredge 

 between Snape's Point and the mouth of the harbour, 



Palwmon serratus (Penn.). The common prawn was present on all 

 the zostera, mud, and sand banks when they were covered with water, 

 but was not often left on them when uncovered, as it always retires 

 to deeper water when the tide starts to ebb, 



*Macromysis flexuosa {Milller). Very common on the zostera bank 

 south of Pilworthy Point, common on the zostera off Ditch End, a few 

 only from zostera bank between Snape's Point and Salcombe, and two 

 from the zostera on the eastern side of Salcombe Harbour between 

 Ferry House and Millbay, 



Macromysis inermis {Ratlike). A few were taken in the cheese-cloth 

 trawl on the zostera bank off Ditch End, and three on the zostera under 

 the Marine Hotel. 



Macromysis neglecta {Q. 0. Sars) (?). In cheese-cloth trawl south 

 of Pilworthy Point, on zostera off Ditch End, and under the Marine 

 Hotel (west side of Salcombe Harbour). 



Schistomysis arenosa {G. 0. Sars). One only was taken, in the 

 cheese-cloth trawl on the bar outside Salcombe Harbour. 



Schistomysis Helleri {G. 0. Sars). Not uncommon in pools on 

 mud-fiat north of the Kectory, on east side of Southpool Lake. I am 

 indebted to Mr. Beaumont for the following note : " Not quite typical ; 

 more slender, telson narrower and less curved in outline, and with fewer 

 spines (14-16), inner uropod with 12-13 spines, outer uropod hardly 

 i longer than the inner." 



AMPHIPODA. 



[Nomenclature in general that of G. 0. Sars, Crustacea of Noriouy, vol. i. ] 



Bathyporeia pelagica, Spence Bate. One specimen only was taken, 

 in the cheese-cloth trawl on the bar. 



* The MysidiE were identified by Mr. W. I. Beaumont. The nomenclature is that of 

 Sars, Middlelmvets Mysider.
