 however, these legs are shorter, those of the 3d pair reaching 

 in the adult female only to the end of the antennular peduncle, 

 while the fifth are ahnost as long; sneh shorter legs are also 

 observed in the male and in younger female individuals,

1) The species which has been figuied ia 1765 by Job Bastek (Natuurkundige Uit- 

 spanningen, Deel II, Tab. III, Fig. V, VI), is no doubt the well-known Palaemoneies 

 varians (Leach), which is very common in the brackish waters of the Province of 

 Zeeland ; bis description, however, at p. 33, seems to deal with a species of Leander, 

 for the upper margin of the rostrum is described as presenting 6 or 8 incisions. 



2) The words „Les doigts des serres sont un peu plns longs que la main" in this 

 description are, of course, a clerical error, which, however, could give rise to confusion. 



3) Beli's species is referred to L. Squilla and not to L. longirostris, because in his 

 figaro the 2^ tooth of the upper margin of the rostrum is distinctly situated just 

 midway between the Ist and the 3<ï, a character that never occurs in L. longirostris 

 (H." M.-Edw.).
