General Remarks. 



I obtained two; one of which 

 was in spawn : ova of a rich 

 brown : this indi\-idual was of a 

 darker colour than the other. 

 Caught in three fathoms, sand 

 and shingle. 



Two ; both in spaHn : ova of a 

 dirty white tinged with green. 

 The colour of this shrimp when 

 first caught is very beautifiil ; 

 it is blotched vriih claret co- 

 lour. Dredged in the same 

 locahty as the last species. 



Three in spawn : ova of a light 

 drab colour. Dredged in six 

 fathoms, shingly bottom. 



I obtained seversj, most of them 

 being in spawn : the ova are of 

 a Ught 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 beUeve 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 spa^vn : ova of an orange co- 

 lour. Caught in a trawl. 



In spawn : ova orange-brovm. 



Two, in spawn: the ova are 

 small, of a lovely bright red 

 transparent coral colour. 

 Dredged in twelve fathoms 

 water, shingly bottom. 



Several in spawn, in five to 

 seven fathoms water, weedy 

 bottom. 



I dredged four ; one of them car- 

 ried ova in verj^ small quan- 

 titv-, — the greater portion had 

 evidently been deposited. 

 Those caught in 3Iay 30, 1853, 

 carried a quantitv' 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 weedv bottom, six fathoms.
