LESTRIGONUS KINAHANT. 9 
The inferior pair have the peduncle reaching beyond that 
of the superior, and terminating abruptly, the flagellum 
being considerably narrower, and somewhat shorter, than 
that of the upper pair, although the articuli are similarly 
formed to those of the superior, In all other respects— 
except, perhaps, in the less unequal length of the caudal 
appendages—the description of ZL. ewulans will suffice for 
this species also. 
The near resemblance of this species with that of L. 
Fabricii (M. Edw.) of the Indian Ocean and L. rubescens 
(Dana) of the Pacific, is quite as remarkable as that exist- 
ing between L. exulans and a species from Chili. 
The first specimen which we received was sent to us by 
Professor Kinahan, who captured it off Carrickfergus, 
and in compliment to whom we have named the species.* 
We have since received it in considerable numbers from 
Mr. Edward, of Banff. 
The colour, as far as we can judge from the dead ani- 
mals, is that of a salmon tint, with a few small spots of 
dull red. The eyes are probably green. 
* It is with much regret that we learn, while this sheet is passing through 
the press, that this able carcinologist has, at an early age, departed this life.
