PANDALUS, 125 



Hippolyte pandaliformis, Bell. — Beak extending be- 

 yond the scale of the antennae, nearly straight, slightly 

 turned upwards, with seven teeth on the upper and three 

 on the lower edge ; eyes very large ; abdomen very slender. 

 Length an inch and a half. 



Described by Professor Bell from two specimens dredged 

 by Messrs. M' Andrew and Forbes in Loch Fyne, at a 

 depth of about twenty fathoms. The Rev. Alfred Norman 

 has taken five specimens in Lamlash Bay ; in some of these 

 specimens there are four or five teeth on the under side of 

 the beak. 



The specific name is given to this Hippolyte from its 

 great general resemblance to the next genus, Pandalus ; 

 it is one of those curious species which seem to connect 

 genera, and are so interesting to those who study the philo- 

 sophy of arrangement in Natural History. 



Gen. 44. PANDALUS, Leach. 

 Inner antennae ending in two many-jointed filaments ; 

 outer antennae very long ; the fore legs short, with only one 

 toe. Beak very long, compressed, turned upwards at the 

 end, and toothed both above and below : second pair of 

 legs with two toes and a many-jointed wrist.
