  As 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  from 
  the 
  foregoing 
  list, 
  the 
  localities 
  where 
  the 
  

   most 
  abundant 
  opportunities 
  offered 
  for 
  collecting, 
  and 
  where, 
  con- 
  

   sequently, 
  the 
  largest 
  number 
  of 
  species 
  were 
  obtained, 
  are

   land 
  coast 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  dredgings 
  of 
  most 
  scientific 
  interest 
  are 
  

   unquestionably 
  those 
  made 
  off 
  the 
  north 
  coast 
  in 
  the 
  Arafura 
  Sea, 
  

   and 
  at 
  Port 
  Darwin 
  and 
  in 
  Dundas 
  Straits, 
  not 
  only 
  on 
  account 
  

   of 
  the 
  new 
  and 
  rare 
  species 
  therein 
  obtained, 
  but 
  also 
  because 
  these 
  

   localities 
  had 
  not 
  previously 
  been 
  explored 
  for 
  Crustacea, 
  The 
  

   dredging 
  in 
  the 
  Arafura 
  Sea 
  was 
  also 
  the 
  only 
  one 
  made 
  in 
  any 
  

   considerable 
  depth 
  of 
  water 
  (32-36 
  fms.), 
  the 
  next

  of 
  depth 
  

   being 
  that 
  at

  (No.

  The 
  collection 
  

   was
