As "will be seen from the foregoing list, the localities where the 

 most abundant opportunities offered for collecting, and where, con- 

 sequently, the largest number of species were obtained, are Thursday 

 Island in Torres Straits and Ports Curtis and Molle on the Queens- 

 land coast ; but the dredgings of most scientific interest are 

 unquestionably those made off the north coast in the Arafura Sea, 

 and at Port Darwin and in Dundas Straits, not only on account 

 of the new and rare species therein obtained, but, also because these 

 localities had not previously been explored for Crustacea. The 

 dredging in the Arafura Sea was also the only one made in any 

 considerable depth of water (32-36 fms.), the next in point of depth 

 being that at Dundas Straits, 17 fms. (No. 161). The collection 

 was received in two distinct consignments, which are referred to as 

 the " first " and " second " collection.
