of similar size being compared. Submedian carinae are very distinct on the last three 
thoracic and on all the abdominal somites. ‘The last two somites and telson are finely 
rugose and, frequently, a fine pearly sheen is visible on various parts of the body ; 
most conspicuously on the under-surface of the telson. The marginal teeth of the 
telson are rather longer than in S. vaphidea ; there are six to eight submedian denticles, 
seven to eleven intermediate and one lateral. 
In other structural details S. annandale: seems to bear an exceedingly close 
resemblance to the preceding species. There are eight teeth on the raptorial dactylus, 
a row of stiff spines along the upper margin of the propodus and an acute angular lobe 
on the lateral margin of the carapace. The single male example has only one raptorial 
claw and that has obviously been broken off and subsequently regenerated. The dac- 
tylus shows no trace of the external process found in adult S. raphidea of the same sex. 
The pigmentation of the external segment of the outer uropod is quite distinctive 
and is conspicuous in all the specimens. The segment is entirely jet-black except for a 
white midrib (fig. 79). In S. vaphidea there is merely a rather indefinite suffusion of 
black along the inner longitudinal half. There is also a dark transverse patch, some- 
times broken up into four separate spots, on the second abdominal somite and various 
short transverse streaks on other somites (fig. 79). For the rest the dark markings 
resemble those of S. raphidea ; the two black spots near the proximal end of the 
telson are distinct and sharply defined. 
The four specimens of Sguilla annandalei were all found in comparatively deep 
water in the Gulf of Martaban :—

There can be little doubt that the Stomatopod to which this name has been applied 
is merely a late post-larval example of the genus Squwilla. One of its most prominent 
features, that on which Miers founded the genus Leftosquilla, is the peculiar elongated 
form of the antennular somite ' and it is clear from comparison with Bigelow’ figure of 
the ‘‘ first stage of the adult form ’’ in Squilla quadridens (1894, p. 548, text-fig. 28) 
' Miers states that it is ‘‘ the ophthalmic segment which is greatly elongated and prolonged beyond 
the rostrum.’’ ‘This is clearly an error.
