78 Dr. J. Hector on new Spectes of 
day for nearly a fortnight; and, unless where here and there 
weeds and stonesafforded a shelter, these extensive sands yielded 
no other sessile-eyed Crustaceans except Bathyporeia, Eurydice 
pulchra, and one single small specimen of Sulcator. This soli- 
tary specimen we took within the first five minutes, and expected 
accordingly to meet with the same abundance of the species 
as in Wales, but, with the most eager and anxious search, 
during all the rest of the time could never find another in the 
southern locality. Bathyporeia pilosa, on the other hand, 
could have been taken in thousands. Its presence beneath 
the sand is betrayed by a small furrow, sometimes short and 
nearly straight, ending in a little pit, at others twisting and 
meandering about and occasionally zigzagged. The mothers 
with young look as if their bodies were tinted with a delicate 
blue; but this is due partly to a double stripe upon each 
ovum, the colouring of which is seen through the pellucid 
sides of the parent, and partly perhaps to the contents of the 
alimentary canal. 
In the sands at Paignton, near Torquay, I have taken in 
close proximity to one another the sand-furrowers Sulcator 
arenarius, Kréyera arenaria, Bathyporeia pilosa, and Hurydice 
pulchra.
