G. brevisquamatus is known to reach a length of 23 mm. It appears to be exceed- 
ingly scarce and has as yet only been found in the Red Sea.

Gonodactylus fimbriatus is very closely allied to G. brevisquamatus, and appears to be 
distinguished from it only by the following characters :— 
1. Of the three pairs of longitudinal ridges on the last abdominal somite the sub- 
medians and intermediates are about equal in width, while those of the lateral 
pair are slightly narrower. 
2. The marginal teeth of the telson are closely similar to those of G. brevisquamatus, 
but the intermediates are rather larger and there are spinules on the inner edge 
of the latter and on both edges of the submedian teeth. 
3. In the middle of the dorsal surface of the telson there is a large oval prominence 
with a narrower lenticular keel pressed close against it on either side and 
between these, and the thickened lateral margin there are two other feeble 
longitudinal ridges. At the hinder end of the median boss there are three 
small tubercles and two other tubercles, homologous perhaps with those of 
G. chivagra, are found near the anterior margin. All the median dorsal ridges 
stop before reaching the posterior third of the telson, terminating well behind 
the base of the submedian emargination. 
The uropods seem closely similar to those of G. brevisguamatus, but in the ventral 
process of the peduncular segment the inner spine is less than half the length of the 
outer, and is perhaps shorter than in that species. The basal segment of the exopod 
bears no spines on the anterior half of its external margin, but is furnished distally with 
three large recurved teeth. The endopod is flexed outwards and the margins, both of 
this segment and of the distal segment of the exopodite, appear to be fringed with setae 
as in G. brevisquamatus; their surfaces, however, according to Lenz’s figure, are not 
clothed with hairs. 
Gonodactylus fimbriatus reaches a length of 28 mm. and is recorded from Zanzibar 
(Lenz) and from Coetivy, Seychelles (Borradaile). 
Since the above was written I have, thanks to the courtesy of the author, had an 
opportunity of seeing the manuscript of Mr. Patience’s valuable account of the Stomato- 
poda collected by Messrs J. J. Simpson and R. N. Rudmose Brown in the Mergui Archi- 
pelago and in Ibo Archipelago in Portuguese East Africa. In this paper Mr. Patience 
gives, under the name G. brevisquamatus, a detailed account and figures of a specimen 
obtained at Mergui. G. fimbriatus is cited as a synonym and strong reasons for the 
adoption of this course are adduced. Inasmuch, however, as I have not been able to 
examine any specimens of this scarce species, I have preferred to let my notes stand in
