223 BOPYRID^. 



tagu, states that this species is common also under the 

 carapace of the shrimp. It has not been our experience 

 to meet with one, those that we have seen being obtained 

 from prawns. From Guernsey and Jersey we have re- 

 ceived them from the Rev. A. M. Norman, on Palamon 

 serratus and Palcemon Leachii, and from Polperro, where 

 Mr. Loughrin has found them on Palcemon serratus. 



The late Harry Goodsir published figures of a species 

 of this genus, which he names B. Squillarum, representing 

 the male, female, and young, which he had obtained 

 from the carapace of a new species of Hippolijte {H. ensi- 

 ferus) found in the gulf-weed between 25° and 30° north, 

 and 40° west longitude. His figures, unfortunately, do 

 not show sufficient care in their delineation, the seg- 

 mentation of the body of the female being unintel- 

 ligible, whilst the figures of the ambulatory legs of 

 both sexes differ so materially from those organs in our 

 English specimens, as to lead us to suppose that they 

 cannot belong to this genus, but either to Bupyroides 

 of Stimpson, or to Gyge.
