General Remarks. 



Cancer Pagurus March 1 2, 1853. 



Carcinas Manas Nov. 23,1851. 



March 1, 1853. 

 Eurynome aspera June 6,1852. 



I obtained two; one of which 

 was in spawn : ova of a rich 

 brown : this individual was of a 

 darker colour than the other. 

 Caught in three fathoms, sand 

 and shingle. 

 Two ; both in spawn : ova of a 

 dirty white tinged with green. 

 The colour of this shrimp ^yhen 

 first caught is very beautiful ; 

 it is blotched with claret co- 

 lour. Dredged in the same 

 locahty as the last species. 

 Three in spawn : ova of a hght 

 drab colour. Dredged in six 

 fathoms, shingly bottom. 

 I obtained several, most of them 

 being in spawn : the ova are of 

 a light sea-green colour. This 

 is the most numerous of the 

 rarer shrimps. Two to four 

 fathoms, sandy bottom. 

 This species is in spawn all the 

 summer months : I beheve they 

 deposit their ova in the month 

 of June : the ova are drab or 

 dirty white. Sandy bottom, 

 from low water to four fa- 

 thoms. 



In spawn : ova of an orange co- 

 lour. Caught in a trawl. 

 In spawn : ova orange-brown.

Two, in spawn: the ova are 

 small, of a lovely bright red 

 transparent coral colour. 

 Dredged in twelve fathoms 

 water, shingly bottom. 

 Auff 18, 1852. Several in spawn, in five to 

 seven fathoms water, weedy 

 bottom. 

 Aug. 18, 1852. I dredged four ; one of them car- 

 May 30, 1853. ried ova in very small quan- 

 tity, — the greater portion had 

 evidently been deposited. 

 Those caught in May 30, 1853, 

 carried a quantity of spawn: 

 the ova are large and of an 

 orange-brown colour : the co- 

 • lour of the animal is dingy 

 purple, brighter on the fore 

 part of the carapace. Caught 

 in weedy bottom, six fathoms.
