Crustacea. — The collection of Crustacea made during the 

 camp-out was on the whole very satisfactory. The long rocky 

 ledges which here occur on the coast, and which are uncovered 

 at low tide, form an excellent collecting ground, and by wading 

 in the water just below tide mark, and turning over the stones 

 (an operation which needs some care, as many of the stones are 

 rotten, and the collector finds himself seated somewhat hurriedly 

 in a saltwater bath up to his neck, and he will do well to leave 

 watch and valuables behind when hunting Crustacea), a number 

 of the rarer forms were found, this being the zone of marine life 

 which has probably been least worked on our Australian coasts. 



In some of the rocky pools the Long-nosed Crabs, Oxyrhyncha, 

 were found in fair numbers. These beasts deck themselves out with 

 pieces of seaweed, similar in form and colour to those growing in 

 the pools in which they live, and are consequently difficult of 

 detection to an untrained eye. After turning over a stone and 

 watching it, what looks like a small bunch of seaweed will suddenly 

 become animated and start walking away, and on examination it 

 will be found to be a " long-nosed " dressed in seaweed. The 

 forms taken were Halimus truncatipes, Miers (exceedingly large 

 specimens), Halimus tumidus, Dana, Huenia hijurcata, Streets 

 Miccippoides longimanus, Hasw., and others. The results of the 

 dredging excursion, although not numerous, were also of interest — 

 one of the forms taken, a Porcellana allied to P. transversa, Hasw. 

 (if not identical with it), which has not previously been recorded 

 from our coast. A number of shrimps (Macrura) were also 

 taken, some of which still await identification. 



In digging in a muddy flat, which was uncovered at one point 

 of the beach at low tide, some of the burrowing shrimps were
